Dubai Frame (11/4), Buonarroti (10/3), The Knot Is Tied (4/1), Royal Flag (7/1), Question Of Faith (10/1), Handsome Bob (10/1), Golden Jeffrey (12/1), The Last Debutante (14/1), Italian Riviera (20/1), Cadore (100/1)

Question Of Faith is likely to make a bold bid to win this race for the second year running. The return to this trip will help and she should go well again. This could well go to one of the progressive three-year-old's though and DUBAI FRAME has sound claims having shown marked improvement the last twice. Up another 6lb here but he can win again. The Knot Is Tied's progression has probably not finished just yet and is very much feared.
