Kamaal (11/4), Moon Rock (3/1), Showmaster (4/1), Vulcanist (9/2), Strike Force Max (5/1), High Summer (11/1), Close Circle (40/1), Sky Mountain (40/1), Mr Badger (50/1), Chain Letter (80/1), My Spritely (500/1), Vera Lemon (500/1)

Verdict

MOON ROCK was in need of the initial experience when a promising sixth in a valuable Ascot maiden and Ed Walker's Sea The Moon colt looks the way to go with improvement very much on the cards. Newcomers Showmaster and Vulcanist are in excellent hands and appeal on pedigree too so rate threats, especially if the market vibes are positive. Kamaal is another who can play a prominent role if rediscovering his best form.
