St Mark's Basilica (6/4), Coill Avon (11/4), Procellarum (6/1), I Am Magnetic (13/2), Duke Of Mantua (13/2), Flexible Approach (7/1), The Last Knight (14/1), Breagagh (28/1), Fine Distraction (100/1), French Company (150/1)

A race which has the possibility to unearth a top juvenile prospect in St Mark's Basilica, who was one of the more expensive yearling purchases last term and given his regal pedigree, it may not be a shock if he was to develop into a top-class performer. However, Aidan O'Brien's horses usually are given an education on debut, so is worth taking on COILL AVON, who has looked improved in two starts to date and has an experience edge over the field for a top yard. Procellarum looked more street-wise last time and the return to 6f should help, while Flexible Approach has a smart US pedigree but will do better over further.
