Raaeq (13/8), Ebury (10/3), Tiger Crusade (9/2), Herculean (5/1), Breanski (6/1), Jumaira Bay (8/1), Gallipoli (8/1), Arbalet (10/1), Dirty Rascal (12/1), Lord Oberon (14/1), Blackheath (14/1), Mister Snowdon (16/1), Hieronymus (18/1), Taurean Star (66/1), Merhoob (100/1)

Marginal preference is for GALLIPOLI who failed only narrowly to notch up win number four of the season at Newmarket last week and can race off the same mark here. Low-mileage Tiger Crusade heads the list of dangers and both Dirty Rascal and Ebury command plenty of respect too in a very open handicap.
