Rakastava (8/11), Major Blue (3/1), Phoenix Star (9/2), Rizzle Dizzle (10/1), Killer Queen (16/1), Empty Promises (40/1), Hilbre Lake (66/1), Lambrini Lullaby (80/1)

Not much solid form on offer, with previous winner Phoenix Star possibly flattered by his Yarmouth win. Rakastava won't need to be a star to win on debut, but the vote goes to MAJOR BLUE, who is open to plenty of improvement after a considerate introduction at Lingfield last month.
