Royal Crusade (5/6), Great Image (7/2), Never Alone (13/2), Prince Imperial (7/1), Impatient (8/1), Striking Approach (16/1), Robert Walpole (20/1), Hot Summer (25/1), Draw Lots (25/1), Plunkett (50/1)

This race was won by a good horse last year in Sangarius and it would not surprise to see this year's renewal throw up plenty of winners. ROYAL CRUSADE appears the first choice on jockey bookings of Charlie Appleby's two newcomers and has Group 1 entries. It wouldn't surprise to see him ready to do himself justice. Stable companion Never Alone cost a fortune and has to be respected, along with the Frankel colt Prince Imperial who represents last year's winning connections. The very well bred Robert Walpole, along with Impatient and Great Image may also play a part in a race where the market could prove highly informative.
