Eldar Eldarov (11/10), Shamida (5/4), Library (9/4), Point King (11/4), Dawn Rising (4/1), Okita Soushi (9/2)

Last year's St Leger hero ELDAR ELDAROV might be suited by the return to a slightly shorter trip and is a potential class act here. Okita Soushi produced a really smart handicap performance to take the Duke of Edinburgh at Royal Ascot and looks up to making his mark outside of handicaps so he's taken to give Roger Varian's charge most to do.
