Latenightrumble (3/1), Hudson De Grugy (7/2), Lady In The Park (4/1), Super Citizen (11/2), Mt Fugi Park (11/2), Grandad's Cap (10/1), Marown (14/1)

Little between the principals at these weights but LADY IN THE PARK could prove the answer given she remains with few miles on the clock and gave the strong impression this return to 3m would suit when a staying-on second over 2m5f here last time. In-form top-weight Hudson de Grugy rates a big threat though, while both Super Citizen and Grandad's Cap can't be ruled out either.
