Portcullis (1/1), Weheedd (5/4), Ervani (12/1), Lord D'or (16/1), Pearl (20/1), Always Blue (50/1), Test Run (50/1), Celtic Chariot (150/1)

There was a lot to like about WEHEEDD's Yarmouth debut second and he's taken to make the most of the 6 lb he receives from impressive Newmarket debut scorer Portcullis and deny the Gosden stable a fourth successive win in this race. Ervani may prove best of the remainder.
