Pastiche (3/1), Zouzanna (7/2), De Bruyne (11/2), Metahorse (7/1), Vermilion (7/1), Kimnkate (15/2), Gulmarg (9/1), Harry Magnus (16/1), Starlight Nation (18/1), Havana Pusey (18/1), Boy Browning (22/1), Liberty (33/1)
Several of these are shortlisted, with GULMARG marginally the pick. He quickly bounced back from an uncharacteristic poor effort at Newmarket in June when just edged out at Kempton and a reproduction of that would give him every chance. De Bruyne's turn is surely near and he is second choice ahead of Pastiche, who remains of interest despite rather fluffing her lines last time out. The consistent Kimnkate also has claims and Metahorse is another to consider in a competitive heat.
