Wholestone (9/4), Colin's Sister (9/4), Agrapart (4/1), Old Guard (9/2), Royal Vacation (12/1), Rayvin Black (28/1), Anteros (40/1), Qualando (66/1)

Last year's winner Agrapart lines up again but it's fair to say he doesn't arrive in quite the same form after some disappointing efforts in France. COLIN'S SISTER may be the one to side with and she can confirm the Wetherby form with Wholestone who was a little out of sorts when last seen but is the type to bounce back. Old Guard can't be ruled out but there's a suspicion that conditions have gone against him here.
