Striking Star (7/4), Divine Libra (9/4), Yacowlef (7/2), Choisya (5/1), Chartwell House (8/1), Verdansk (11/1), Prospering (12/1), Captain Cuddles (25/1), Tiriac (28/1), Warminster (50/1), Jahidin (66/1), Grand Central (150/1)

A typically competitive three-year-old handicap, with the top-weight YACOWLEF fancied to go one the better than when an excellent second over 6f here at the Craven Meeting. Godolphin's regally-bred Striking Star has the pedigree to prove much better than his opening mark and rates as a major threat, with Choisya, Chartwell House and Prospering others to consider.
