Shareef Star (7/4), Lexington Empire (15/8), The Night King (9/4), Michele Strogoff (4/1), Juanito Chico (8/1), Pheidippides (8/1), Juneau (14/1), Sea Tide (33/1)

Although this is probably his toughest assignment so far, THE NIGHT KING goes so well at this track that a chance is taken he can make it a fourth C&D success off a mark just 3lb higher than his last victory. Beautifully bred Shareef Star is a potential improver and is very much feared, while Lexington Empire did nothing but improve last term and cannot be ruled out of contention.
