Quorto (11/8), Anthony Van Dyck (6/4), Land Force (8/1), Christmas (9/1), Mohawk (16/1), Highland Fortune (25/1), Wargrave (50/1)

QUORTO was visually very impressive at Newmarket last time and he's expected to be hard to beat here, with many of his rivals likely to benefit from a step up in trip. Anthony Van Dyck is one of those and it's likely significant he's the pick of Ryan Moore. Land Force should appreciate the step up to this trip.
