Jeremiah (10/3), Look Closely (7/2), Caradoc (4/1), Omnivega (6/1), Fox Vardy (7/1), Spanish Archer (12/1), Medal Winner (14/1), Hyanna (22/1), Koeman (22/1), Protected Guest (40/1), Hasanabad (80/1), Kyllachy Gala (100/1)
Lots of chances but it might be worth siding with FOX VARDY, who followed up a Newmarket romp with a pleasing run since at York when not beaten far into third having done plenty work early on. His mark remains the same but Cieren Fallon can take 3lb off today. Omnivega is 3-3 from the all-weather in 2020 and a massive threat if taking that form to the turf, while Caradoc may offer more upped in distance.
