Royal Dress (85/40), Sparks Fly (3/1), Charlotte's Web (4/1), Soprano (4/1), Francophone (7/1), Imperial Quarter (9/1), Cheshire Dancer (10/1), Julia Augusta (11/1), Vicario (40/1), Tropical Island (50/1), Gaiety Musical (80/1)

Eight of the last 11 winners of this have returned at an SP of 9/1 or bigger and IMPERIAL QUARTER, who is likely to be close to a double-digit price, could be the value angle this time round. The 5-y-o left her low-key reappearance behind when fourth at Newcastle and a reproduction of her effort in a Sandown Group 3 last summer would give her every chance. If the ground eases Sparks Fly and Royal Dress will be big dangers, while Charlotte's Web and Francophone also enter calculations.
