Crockford (6/5), Cerberus (8/1), Isosceles (9/1), Oneiroi (12/1), Sauron's Eye (14/1), Rehoboth Beach (14/1), Shuri (20/1), Very Excellent (25/1), Never Rains (25/1), Gatsby Cap (33/1), Masque Of Anarchy (50/1), Golden Cliffs (66/1), Doi Suthep (80/1), James' Will (100/1)

Second of 14 beaten 1L here over 7f last month, CROCKFORD can see off his rivals here with the assistance of Donnacha O'Brien for brother Joseph. His nearest challengers could be a couple of stablemates including Cerberus. The Ger Lyons-trained Sauron's Eye and Godolphins Isosceles for trainer Mick Halford are worthy of consideration.
