Merlin Magic (15/8), Purser (2/1), Ateem (13/2), Blue Laureate (8/1), Staunch (12/1), Robinson Crusoe (14/1), Tansheet (16/1), Arthenia (33/1), Island Sound (40/1), Surrey Blaze (66/1), Deadly Accurate (100/1), Universal Command (100/1), Foxangel (125/1)

Verdict

Purser must be of interest with his pedigree and the booking of Ryan Moore could be significant while Staunch is well related and represents a yard in excellent form. However, the narrow vote goes to MERLIN MAGIC who has a racecourse experience to call upon and the form of that contest has been franked since.
  1. Merlin Magic
  2. Purser
  3. Staunch
