Hamish (5/2), Arrest (11/4), Chesspiece (7/1), Alsakib (15/2), Al Qareem (8/1), Mujtaba (17/2), Max Vega (16/1), Salt Bay (33/1), Certain Lad (40/1), Peking Opera (125/1)
The first double-figure field since 2010 in this Group 3, with the eight-year-old HAMISH fancied to make it 5 wins in a row. William Haggas' gelding has conditions to suit and is a particularly reliable type, so sets a good benchmark for last season's St Leger second Arrest to aim at. Al Qareem was just behind the selection in the St Simon Stakes when last seen and is another leading player.
