Grosvenor Square (10/11), Zaphod (7/2), Naval Force (6/1), Ezeliya (6/1), Cambridge (13/2), Look At The Stars (10/1), Spanish Flame (12/1), Gibbs Island (33/1)

Verdict

GROSVENOR SQUARE impressed when landing a Galway maiden on debut last month and encouragingly built on that upped markedly in class 11 days later when third in the Group 2 Beresford Stakes at the Curragh 4 weeks ago. Open to further improvement now his stamina is tested further, he looks sure to play a big part. Naval Force and Cambridge head the dangers, whilst Ezeliya, the only filly in the line-up shouldn't be underestimated either.
