Saligo Bay (2/1), Don't Mind If I Do (11/4), Max Of Stars (3/1), Pure Gold (4/1), Go Dante (5/1), Half A Chance (7/1), Inappropriate (9/1), Kientzheim (16/1), Takeit Easy (18/1), Monaco Rules (33/1)

DON'T MIND IF I DO starts out in handicaps on a potentially lenient mark based on his hurdling debut form (runner-up in a good time at Warwick), so he's selected to come out on top. Go Dante landed the Imperial Cup for a second year running at Sandown in March and is expected to go well returning to calmer waters, while 4-y-o Inappropriate is another to consider with a recent Flat run under his belt.
