Coltrane (5/4), Retrospect (4/1), Perfect Predator (9/2), Carausius (5/1), Perfect Arch (7/1), Guardia Top (7/1), Nostalgica (11/1), Gaelic Belle (80/1), Theocrat (100/1), Hydraulic (100/1), Donald Llewellyn (125/1), Celtic Arch (250/1)

PERFECT ARCH faced a couple of highly promising types from the Aidan O'Brien yard last time out and, although well beaten, this does look an awful lot easier and the Dawn Approach gelding will be hard to beat if he's fully wound up for his seasonal bow. Perfect Predator runs for a yard that is quietly targeting prize-money on the Flat so merits close scrutiny in the betting, while Coltrane is still of interest despite a below expectations effort on the Polytrack last time. The switch to turf can bring an improved effort form Andrew Balding's charge. Guardia Top and Carausius are a couple of others to keep a close eye on in the betting market.
