Auguste Rodin (11/4), King Of Steel (10/3), Luxembourg (4/1), Nashwa (9/2), Alflaila (7/1), Onesto (8/1), Al Riffa (8/1), Sprewell (33/1), Point Lonsdale (40/1)

A highly competitive renewal but the one who looks to have been underestimated in the market is NASHWA, who split a pair of high-class performers in the Juddmonte International at York last month. The drop back to 10f should be ideal for King of Steel given how he shaped in the Derby/King George so he has obvious claims, while dual-Derby winner Auguste Rodin has proved he can bounce back from a poor run.
