Lucius Tiberius (6/5), Gardens of Babylon (5/2), Escapability (4/1), Dawn Trouper (6/1), Rockabill (6/1), Baby Pink (11/1), Paperback Writer (16/1), Manzil (20/1), Ashqar (33/1), Acrux Cass (40/1), Persian Lion (66/1), Power Drive (66/1), All Saints Day (66/1), Altumanina (66/1), Lady Yasmin (100/1), Flying Focus (100/1)

Gardens Of Babylon has not looked the most straightforward of types but is sure to be popular in first-time blinkers and the mount of Ryan Moore, while stablemate and improver LUCIUS TIBERIUS can land the spoils here following and eye-catching seasonal debut at Navan over this trip earlier this month running Broad Street to 1¾L and can be expected to progress in this company. Rockabill with newcomers Baby Pink and Dawn Trouper can battle for the minors in the closer.
