Dance In The Storm (5/2), Arctic Thunder (7/2), Pietro (9/2), Sujet (7/1), Huscal (10/1), Crimson Spirit (11/1), Goldmoyne (12/1), A War Eagle (16/1), Rare Change (16/1), Bell Shot (20/1), Spangled Mac (22/1), Miami Matrix (28/1), Silky Wilkie (50/1), Midnight Strike (100/1)

No shortage of chances but HUSCAL should be all the better for last month's Newmarket reappearance and, with the plum draw to work from, he can be expected to make a bold bid in a first-time tongue strap. Arctic Thunder is another expected to step forward from his latest run and is feared along with Dance In The Storm and Wolverhampton scorer Pietro.
