Doyen Quest (11/10), Long Draw (3/1), Thanksforthehelp (8/1), Wonderful Eagle (10/1), Zain Nights (11/1), Gowel Road (12/1), Bhaloo (12/1), Might I (14/1), High Game Royal (25/1), An Tailliur (40/1)

The manner in which DOYEN QUEST overcame a significant early blunder here the previous month suggests a 10 lb higher mark may not be enough to prevent him from going in again, not least as he's totally unexposed as a stayer. Long Draw and Might I head up the opposition in a race that is likely to make for strong form.
