World Stage (11/10), Ringside Support (5/2), Massif Central (7/1), Bringthehousedown (10/1), Sovereign Hill (12/1), Araca (14/1), Amuse Bouche (20/1), Don Pedro (25/1), The Lord Mayor (25/1), Buckeye (33/1), Mac Chaparral (33/1), Partyman (33/1), Cold Springs (40/1), Ali's Girl (50/1), Mr Natural (66/1)

With the benefit of a run and having shown signs of his inexperience on debut, perhaps WORLD STAGE can put in a more professional performance here and get his head in front at the second time of asking. Aidan O'Brien's colt ran a good race on that debut given it clearly took a while for the penny to drop, and as a Galileo shouldn't have any issue with the step down in trip. The first time tongue strap is also likely to aid his chance. Ringside Support put in better showing for his second run last time and is feared most, while newcomer Mac Chaparral has an attractive pedigree and can go well on debut.
