Zanbaq (7/4), Jumbly (10/3), Oscula (4/1), Novemba (6/1), Kind Gesture (9/1), Snooze N You Lose (18/1), Eidikos (40/1), Romantic Rival (40/1), Serenading (100/1)
The form of ZANBAQ's second in the Sandringham has already received a few boosts and she's very much the one to beat. German-raider Novemba ran quite well in the Duchess of Cambridge at the Royal meeting and she should be in the shake-up here, while the selection's stablemate Kind Gesture could have enough improvement in her to make an impact at this higher level.
