Gregory (8/11), Continuous (4/1), Castle Way (13/2), Artistic Star (15/2), Canberra Legend (16/1)

Verdict

The Gosden/Dettori combination have tasted notable success in this contest in recent years and the unbeaten GREGORY looks to hold serious claims of enhancing that record further before heading to Doncaster for a tilt at the St Leger next month. The main danger is likely to come from Castle Way, who has taken his form up a notch and also arrives chasing an impressive 4-timer, with Continuous taken to fill out third spot.
