Al Muffrih (1/1), Elwazir (3/1), Cross Counter (4/1), Marechal Ney (10/1), Howman (10/1), Harbour Breeze (12/1), Persian Sun (20/1), Star Of Bengal (33/1), Thimbleweed (40/1), Scaramanga (50/1), Kings Inn (50/1), Carnwennan (50/1), Perpetrator (66/1), Dazzling Rock (66/1), Cortado (66/1), Trinitas (100/1), Cosmic Landscape (100/1)

A good looking novice event. Cross Counter is unbeaten in two starts and should be in the mix once more. Elwazir is a colt by Frankel who should have more to come. Preference though is for AL MUFFRIH who won what is usually a fairly strong maiden at Newbury last time and can take this on route to better things.
