Masham Star (13/8), Hajjam (10/3), Jay Kay (11/2), Sultan Baybars (6/1), Inner Circle (7/1), Tiercel (7/1), Zebulon (11/1), Kirkham (12/1), War Department (20/1), Roaring Forties (20/1), Highly Sprung (25/1), Khelman (25/1)

Off top weight, MASHAM STAR could be the one to side with. He ran well in the Victoria Cup last time out off a 2lb higher mark, beaten less than five lengths despite finishing 12th, and in this much less competitive race he should be able to put in a very bold bid. Sultan Baybars seems to be going the right way and is another to consider, as well as Inner Circle on the return to this trip.
