Mendelssohn (4/6), Threeandfourpence (4/1), Seahenge (6/1), Princess Yaiza (10/1), Blackgold Fairy (12/1), Ship Of Dreams (14/1), Zihba (14/1), Irish Minister (50/1)

Three strong contenders from the Aiden O'Brien stable with Group 2 Champagne Stakes winner and Dewhurst third Seahenge, Newmarket Group 1 fourth Threeandfourpence, who receives 5lb here, most likely to give MENDELSSOHN the most to think about in this Listed contest. The three-year-old, with Ryan Moore in the plate, followed up his second in the Dewhurst with a win in the Breeders Cup turf in November with his sights now on the Kentucky Derby.
