Bear Story (10/3), Ides Of August (9/2), Dubai Warrior (9/2), River Eden (5/1), Lough Derg (11/2), Khartoum (15/2), Charterhouse (12/1), Tartlette (20/1), He Knows No Fear (80/1), Ulster Blackwater (100/1)

A leap of faith is required in supporting DUBAI WARRIOR given he was well below his best at Meydan earlier this year. However, in mitigation, the latter of his below-par displays was on turf and, with a sound record on artifical surfaces to call upon, he may well be up to bouncing back starting out for his new yard. Ides of August, low-mileage River Eden and Khartoum head up the dangers.
