Green Etoile (7/4), Smarter (15/8), Aktau (3/1), Monsieur Lambrays (7/2), Cormier (6/1), Glutnforpunishment (7/1), Cafe Espresso (33/1)

There may be more to come from handicap debutante AKTAU and this son of Teofilo, who gave the classy Pondus (a colt who subsequently contested a Group 2 at Royal Ascot) a scare last time out, is the most appealing for a punt on this occasion. Smarter has proven stamina and looks the best alternative to the selection, while there's little to split Green Etoile, Cafe Espresso, and Monsieur Lambrays as best of the rest... the first named arrives in good heart so is marginally preferred as the best option from that trio.
