Kripticjim (6/5), Trial By Jury (7/4), Starzand (7/2), Daydream Nation (9/2), Padre Arthur (12/1), Laurier Des Obeaux (20/1), Fiveosevensix (40/1), Peckforton Hills (100/1), Crossgales King (125/1)

A clutch of these have better days ahead of them but KRIPTICJIM sets a high standard on the form of his recent Ascot victory so is hard to side against. Hurdling debutant Trial By Jury and Irish challenger Daydream Nation could also have a say in a fascinating novice.
