Soldier's Call (2/1), Equilateral (10/3), El Astronaute (4/1), Soffia (6/1), Garrus (7/1), Southern Horse (16/1), Caspian Prince (20/1), Lethal Promise (20/1), Fantasy (25/1), Rapid Reaction (50/1)

Archie Watson's stable star SOLDIER'S CALL developed into one of the best and fastest two-year-olds in training last season and after an excellent third to the exceptional Blue Point at Ascot latest he looks a standout candidate here. Garrus has certainly improved this season and may provide the stiffest test although Equilateral does threaten to have a big day in him.
