Bague D'or (7/2), Praiano (9/2), Parachute (6/1), Tall Order (13/2), Whitehaven (7/1), Winterwatch (10/1), Without Revenge (10/1), Imperial Sun (11/1), Fox Vardy (12/1), Frontispiece (14/1), Duke Of Verona (14/1), In The Breeze (14/1), Ridgeway (25/1)

Plenty in with chances but BAGUE D'OR looks a 3-y-o firmly on the up and he's taken to notch his third victory of the year having seemingly been well suited by the step up in trip when scoring at Newmarket 3 weeks ago. Fox Vardy has presumably had his problems but he's feared most provided he's ready to roll after a year off the track, ahead of Whitehaven and Praiano.
