Believing (1/1), Makarova (7/2), Beautiful Diamond (5/1), She's Quality (7/1), Ano Syra (22/1), Twilight Jet (25/1), Valiant Force (28/1), Jakajaro (33/1), So Majestic (100/1)

British-trained sprinters can come to the fore, with BELIEVING very much the one to beat if reproducing anything like the form she showed when fourth in a Group 1 over this trip at Royal Ascot last month. Makarova did it nicely at Sandown a fortnight ago and is second choice ahead of Jack Davison's thriving 3-y-o She's Quality.
