Via Serendipity (7/2), Shelir (4/1), Cap Francais (11/2), Jalaad (11/2), Kasbaan (11/2), Game Player (7/1), Ejtilaab (14/1), Silent Attack (14/1), Wild Hope (16/1), Hateya (33/1)

Jalad and Wild Hope are last-time-out winners and the former should have solid claims if the headgear retains its effect; preference though is for SHELIR who has twice looked unlucky here this summer already in big-field handicaps. David O'Meara's four-year-old may find this reduced field to his liking and is capable of defying this mark. Game Player goes well fresh and needs a look as such while Hateya can also be in the mix after a good effort at Goodwood 11 days ago.
