Illinois (7/4), Highbury (3/1), Meydaan (5/1), Birdman (13/2), Grosvenor Square (7/1), The Equator (17/2), Mina Rashid (20/1), Imperial Sovereign (28/1), Lavender Hill Mob (50/1), Pappano (66/1), See The Green (100/1), Mr Hampstead (125/1)
Plenty of lightly-raced budding stayers tackling this sort of test for the first time line up and it's HIGHBURY who looks the most persuasive option having bolted up in a Leopardstown maiden (strong form) last month. He can provide Aidan O'Brien with an eighth success in this race at the expense of stablemate Illinois, who found only subsequent Derby runner-up Ambiente Friendly too strong last time, while Birdman, who beat the selection on debut, rounds off the shortlist.
