Sucellus (8/11), Sawasdee (5/2), Living Legend (5/1), Island Jungle (25/1), King's Counsel (50/1), Blue Beirut (66/1), J Gaye (150/1)
King's Counsel looks the more likely of the two newcomers and hails from a yard in good form, but this is likely to rest between previous winners Living Legend and SUCELLUS. The selection won on debut despite doing plenty wrong and is open to lots of improvement for his top stable. Sawasdee was an expensive purchase who can improve on his only start last season, while Island Jungle has some fair form to his credit and should go well.
