Happy And Fine (5/2), Halondo (11/4), Haas Boy (3/1), Ballyhome (13/2), Big Bad Bear (10/1), Sadler's Bay (16/1), Heross Du Seuil (33/1), Sacre Pierre (50/1), Magna Moralia (150/1)

HALONDO has responded well to pressure to finish second at Ayr on his last two starts and an opening mark of 109 could prove lenient, so he takes preference over Happy And Fine, who is expected to bounce back from a lesser effort at Catterick recently. Ballyhome also merits consideration.
