Dunum (10/3), Current Option (4/1), No More Porter (11/2), Hotrocket (15/2), On A Session (8/1), Casanova (8/1), Percy's Lad (11/1), Joe Masseria (12/1), Soaring Monarch (14/1), Saltonstall (14/1), Laugh A Minute (16/1), Earls (22/1), Mutasarref (22/1), All Lies Ahead (22/1), Snapraeterea (33/1), Zabeir (33/1), Coachello (40/1), Master Matt (50/1), Cordouan (50/1)

HOTROCKET hasn't achieved as much as several of these, but he's clealry on an upward curve and, with just seven runs under his belt, the best is probably still to come. He is taken to complete the hat-trick at the chief expense of Percy's Lad, who is one of two British raiders and wasn't beaten far when seventh in the Buckingham Palace at Royal Ascot last time. Current Option is bidding for a fourth consecutive victory in this race and has to be feared, while Dunum is another to consider.
