Holy Kingdom (10/3), Australis (7/2), Kaloor (4/1), Sleeping Lion (5/1), Red Force One (5/1), Eddystone Rock (14/1), Diocletian (14/1), Mondain (22/1), Charlie D (25/1), Island Brave (33/1), Ernesto (66/1)

Australis only found one too good in the Northumberland Plate last time and has to be feared here, while Charlie D can likely leave behind a below-par run on the same Gosforth Park surface and bounce back on turf. KALOOR hasn't won since his debut but he's with an in-form trainer now and shaped well last time over 1m6f at Sandown in third despite not getting the clearest run. He's worth a crack at this extended trip and could be the answer.
