Westover (13/8), Mishriff (5/2), Emily Upjohn (3/1), Torquator Tasso (16/1), Pyledriver (18/1), Broome (18/1)
Another small field for the mid-summer highlight but it's still high on quality. WESTOVER is the obvious one after his easy win in the Irish Derby and should get the race run to suit with a strong pace to aim at. John & Thady Gosden hold a very strong hand with Emily Upjohn and Mishriff, who were both unlucky not to win the Oaks at Epsom and Eclipse at Sandown respectively.
