Division (13/8), Prince Of India (3/1), Hidden Force (6/1), Stratusnine (9/1), Completely Random (10/1), Into The Sky (16/1), Sayidah Dariyan (16/1), James's Delight (20/1), Elmonjed (22/1), Jasour (28/1), Diligent Harry (40/1), Fitzella (50/1)

DIVISION has raised his game appreciably this year, shaping well when just touched off in the Prix Maurice de Gheest at Deauville on his most recent outing and earns the vote to register a deserved success back down in grade. Prince of India capitalised on a drop in grade with a dominant performance at Newmarket 6 weeks ago and looks sure to go well again, while Hidden Force is a most intriguing runner having not been seen since finishing third in the Craven Stakes back in the spring.
