Country Grammer (9/4), Algiers (11/4), T O Keynes (15/2), Ushba Tesoro (9/1), Panthalassa (9/1), Jun Light Bolt (14/1), Geoglyph (16/1), Cafe Pharoah (16/1), Emblem Road (28/1), Salute The Soldier (33/1), Vela Azul (40/1), Crown Pride (50/1), Bendoog (50/1), Super Corinto (66/1), Remorse (80/1)

COUNTRY GRAMMER just ran out of distance when a strong-finishing second to Panthalassa in the Saudi Cup 4 weeks ago and Bob Baffert's charge is taken to reverse the placing over this extra 1f and follow up last year's win. Algiers was most impressive when winning Round 1 and Round 2 of the Al Maktoum Challenge here in recent months so rates a huge threat.
