Military Tycoon (5/2), Supreme Yeats (4/1), Star Vantage (9/2), Kajaki (11/2), Secret Secret (17/2), Lady Mendoza (9/1), Evenwood Sonofagun (10/1), The Navigator (10/1), Vanilla Dancer (14/1), Balally Park (14/1), Topkapi Star (14/1), Ascension Day (14/1), Sky Luna (16/1), Pateen (22/1)

A competitive fare in which SUPREME YEATS can claim another victory following a break, just as he did when back to somewhere near his best on debut for this yard last year. Military Tycoon has looked a different proposition in his most recent starts for Neil Mulholland and could be open to further improvement, with Balally Park and Kajaki both worthy of consideration from their falling handicap marks.
