Majestic (10/3), Marhaba The Champ (4/1), Honiton (7/1), Savvy Victory (15/2), Masekela (8/1), Toshizou (9/1), Dual Identity (9/1), Cadillac (12/1), Bad Company (16/1), Lord Protector (33/1), The City's Phantom (50/1)

Plenty of these arrive with claims and with that in mind it may pay to take a chance on TOSHIZOU. There's been encouragement to glean from his exploits over shorter trips in recent weeks and, still unexposed at 1¼m, he could well represent a spot of value from his easing mark partnered by Hollie Doyle. Honiton and Dual Identity are others to consider, with York-scorer Marhaba The Champ also firmly in the mix.
