Doublet (5/6), Guvenor's Choice (13/8), Deja (13/8), Chess Move (9/4), Bombshell Bay (8/1), Chilean (12/1), Motabassim (18/1), Lady Maldiva (50/1)

Deja attracted support for a decent Newmarket maiden and receives a handy allowance from his main rivals. Like many from the yard he can be expected to build on his debut effort but DOUBLET has proven he handles this tricky circuit and will benefit from a front-running ride from an in-form jockey. The stable's juveniles have an excellent record here and we give him the nod. Chess Move did little wrong on his latest start here and Governor's Choice is one to note in the ring as his stable are in cracking form at present..
