Paisley Park (8/15), Thistlecrack (9/2), The Worlds End (7/1), Unowhatimeanharry (17/2), Beer Goggles (16/1)

The loveable PAISLEY PARK makes his eagerly-anticipated seasonal return and has the class form over his rivals. Given time to recuperate from his Cheltenham Festival success, the Champion Stayer always runs well on his debut and should be hard to beat and continue upwards towards his title defence. The Worlds End was taking at Wetherby last time but has usually been found wanting against classier rivals. Unowhatimeanharry has good record here but age may be catching up with him while Thistlecrack has been beaten in this before and is using this as a fitness booster ahead of other targets.
