Merchant Of Venice (3/1), Bacacarat (5/1), Astonished (8/1), Nahham (9/1), Divine Messenger (10/1), Manton Grange (11/1), Merweb (11/1), Directory (11/1), One Cool Daddy (12/1), Rampant Lion (16/1), Samphire Coast (20/1), Madeleine Bond (25/1), Orange Suit (40/1), Inaam (66/1)

A case can be made for most in this but one thing that seems certain is that Divine Messenger will set a strong gallop. He had Directory and MERCHANT OF VENICE behind him here last month but the selection lay further off the pace than usual and Oisin Murphy is a noteworthy booking. The dual C&D winner was drawn on the wrong side at Ascot last time but now has an opportunity to build on earlier promise. Bacacarat was supported to make a winning AW debut but got stuck on the wrong side of the Chelmsford home straight and can be expected to do better here. Madeleine Bond should be thereabouts, but Nahham will be more severely tested this time given the opposition and the pace angle.
