Young Buster (3/1), Twin Power (10/3), Swallows Song (9/2), Imperial Merlin (7/1), Brandy Mcqueen (15/2), Atlanta Brave (8/1), Prairie Wolf (10/1), Egbert (10/1), Langdale Lane (11/1), Rocky Man (12/1)

Most of these are tackling 3m for the first time with ATLANTA BRAVE probably the most likely to advance his form faced with this stiffer test of stamina given how he shaped at Newbury. This is very competitive, with Young Buster, Prairie Wolf and Twin Power a trio of potential threats.
