Verdict

Lots with chances but MOBASHR looked on top of his game when a strong-travelling third at Yarmouth last time so edges the vote with Ryan Moore also now in the saddle. In-form Pearle d'Or is another weighted to go well, with Grenham Bay, Flying Secret and Halla Dubai all in the mix too.

  1. MOBASHR (USA)

  3. GRENHAM BAY (IRE)
