In d'Or (9/4), Fierce Warrior (10/3), Menaggio (10/3), Bentley's Return (10/3), Koenigsstern (9/1), Jack Sparrow Grey (14/1), Captain Howse (80/1), Vendant (150/1), D'ambonnay (200/1), Vintage Icon (200/1), Azolo (200/1), Churchtown Gigi (200/1), No No Espresso (200/1)

IN D'OR ran below the pick of his French form on debut for Venetia Williams in January but he returns with his yard in tremendous nick and is well worth another chance to get back on the up returning from 10 months off. Menaggio, for Alan King, and Bentley's Return head up the dangers, with Fierce Warrior and hurdles-debutant Jack Sparrow Grey others to keep an eye on.
