Sir Benji (15/8), Maxminelli (15/8), Mahzuz (6/1), Espritroyale (12/1), Belle Nuit (14/1), Ella's Gold (14/1), Shushi (14/1), Factor Five (16/1), Premier Princess (33/1), Willofthepeople (66/1), Sazerac Dance (66/1), Threebiggulps (125/1), Star Of Tara (150/1)

SIR BENJI is the best of these on the Flat and could be the way to go before any betting clues. Maxminelli is another of the more likely contenders, while Mahzuz's hurdles experience will count for plenty.
