Gravistas (11/8), Great Bear (3/1), Holy Kingdom (9/2), Top Top (6/1), Stormwave (16/1), Artistic Language (18/1), Mr Zoom Zoom (25/1)

GREAT BEAR had plenty in hand when winning last time, and although he's asked a stiffer question here, he looks well up to finding the improvement required on paper. Gravistas has been second on his last four starts, and looks the one to give the selection most to do, although Holy Kingdom is underestimated with his latest effort having been franked since.
