Ernst Blofeld (13/8), Tycoon (10/3), Nightime Dancer (4/1), Ghaiyya (13/2), Nesthorn (9/1), Blue Hercules (18/1), Tryfan (22/1), Green Cape (33/1)

Verdict

NIGHTIME DANCER shaped well on reappearance in a strong race and that promise still stands despite a flop at Royal Ascot so he's taken to prove too good if first-time blinkers brings about progress from him. Tycoon is another that could bounce back from a tame effort the time before, for all he does need to prove his stamina, while Ernst Blofeld could be in the mix for a place.
