Palace Guard (7/4), War Hero (4/1), Adaliya (5/1), Patrick Joseph (7/1), Smiling Eliza (9/1), Aibell (14/1), Palariva (20/1), Innamorare (20/1), Ragtime Red (22/1), Bye Bye Brussels (28/1), Taylor Velvet (40/1)

Mick Halford's Adaliya made all to win here over C&D last month and will try to repeat the feat in this contest but the tactics could be advantageous to a fast-finishing, Joseph O'Brien-trained PALACE GUARD who came from off the pace to land a 7f contest earlier this month. War Hero and Patrick Joseph can give the selection the most to think about.
