Poet's Society (3/1), Leader's Legacy (4/1), Humbert (5/1), Rufus King (7/1), Salateen (7/1), Pactolus (10/1), Constantino (10/1), Race Day (12/1), Mr Scaramanga (16/1)

There's loads of speed amongst the field and that might not suit stablemates Rufus King and Poet's Society who are best over a furlong shorter, although the latter is at least in good form. There's a lot to like about Salateen at present but likewise he will be involved in a scrap for the lead along with Race Day. Pactolus is vulnerable to a better handicapped opponent but should be involved back on a preferred surface. Constantino is closely matched with HUMBERT but while rating a danger, he isn't certain to reverse form with the selection who is still on the upgrade and likely to be suited by a fast run mile.
