Ambiente Friendly (6/4), Los Angeles (13/8), Matsuri (13/2), Sunway (16/1), The Euphrates (22/1), Grosvenor Square (25/1), Euphoric (33/1), Keeper's Heart (100/1)

AMBIENTE FRIENDLY was beaten only by a potential superstar in the Derby at Epsom and should take all the beating. Los Angeles fared best of those ridden up with the pace when over 3 lengths behind the selection that day so it wouldn't surprise if he bridged the gap. Matsuri is taking a huge step up in class but could hardly have created a better impression at Leicester and is the potential fly in the ointment.
