Yorkshire Pirlo (7/4), Tantastic (7/2), Emirati Dirham (4/1), Denzil's Laughing (13/2), Acklam Express (10/1), International Girl (12/1), Tapeten Toni (14/1), Highland Dandy (16/1), Arfinn Rose (66/1), Colton (150/1)

Given how well he was going half a furlong from the line, it is hard to believe YORKSHIRE PIRLO ended up finishing third on debut at Redcar. The drop back to this minimum trip should be ideal and he can make amends for that agonising defeat. This is a whole lot easier than the Royal Ascot assignment Tantastic was handed, but if you go back to the form of his debut effort he would have major claims and is subsequently respected. Of the newcomers, Denzil's Laughing and International Girl are of interest, while Acklam Express should also be feared given how well he ran for one so green when placed at 150-1 on debut.
