Hermes Allen (11/10), Joyeux Machin (4/1), Crambo (7/1), Attacca (15/2), Vicki Vale (11/1), Accidental Rebel (14/1), You Wear It Well (16/1), Thomas Mor (16/1), Idalko Bihoue (18/1), Marble Sands (25/1), Passing Well (33/1), Kansas City Star (40/1), Kilbeg King (50/1), Moka De Vassy (100/1)

A big-field Challow chock-full of potential but HERMES ALLEN is still difficult to get away from. A £350,000 purchase from the pointing field, he looked smart when supplementing his maiden success in Grade 2 company at Cheltenham and can give Paul Nicholls a third straight win in this Grade 1 that usually throws up a very good one. Vicki Vale and Joyeux Machin head the opposition.
