Max Ward (5/2), Indian Temple (10/3), Knockgraffon (7/2), Upsilon Bleu (4/1), Mr Boss Man (8/1), King's Wharf (18/1)
Just the six lining up for the 'Auld Reekie' this time around and last year's runner-up Upsilon Bleu will have leading claims of going one better. He won next time out off this rating and his two runs back from a break have been rock solid. He might play second fiddle once again however with MAX WARD favoured to collect. He ended last season with a pleasing run in an Aintree Grade 1 for novices' and should be all the better now having had a run at Ascot to sharpen him up. This longer trip also looks likely to suit. Indian Temple knows how to win around here and improved again last season, ensuring he's respected along with Knockgraffon, who shaped well for a long way on his reappearance at Cheltenham.
