Iroko (11/8), Trelawne (7/2), Tahmuras (9/2), Hillcrest (6/1), Deafening Silence (13/2), Lieutenant Command (150/1)

IROKO was runner-up in the Grade 1 Mildmay at Aintree on his final outing last term and is open to further progress. He is fancied to make a winning return to action at the expense of Trelawne, who boasts a notably good record when fresh and was sent off favourite for the Ultima when last seen but fell at the second. Deafening Silence warrants plenty of respect on return/chase debut so rounds off the shortlist.
