Proud And Regal (6/4), Up And Under (11/4), Tower Of London (7/2), Sprewell (8/1), Londoner (9/1), Goldenstatewarrior (18/1), Mr Lincoln (50/1), Mohawk Chief (80/1)

Verdict

UP AND UNDER pulled nicely clear of the rest when touched off by White Birch in the C&D Ballysax Stakes last month and, with the promise of more to come from this well-bred and unexposed colt, he is taken to go one better this time. Proud And Regal did nothing wrong during his 2-y-o campaign and will offer stern resistance if ready to roll on this seasonal reappearance. The Aidan O'Brien-trained duo Londoner and Tower of London should both be in the mix, while Sprewell is also accorded respect.
