Whistlejacket (4/5), Shadow Of Light (11/4), Ides Of March (3/1), Defence Minister (7/1), Black Forza (12/1), Jouncy (22/1), Intrusively (33/1), Dash Dizzy (40/1)

Aidan O'Brien looks to have a strong handle on this race again and the tough WHISTLEJACKET is a strong candidate to make all at the likely expense of stablemate Ides of March, who was most impressive in the Round Tower Stakes at the Curragh last time. Shadow of Light hasn't finished improving, so he's the clear pick of the British-trained contingent.
