Arthurian Fame (11/5), Anna Bunina (5/2), Jon Ess (10/3), Cafe Con Leche (4/1), Hesamanofhisword (15/2), Somptueux (12/1), Whatsinthecorner (12/1), Scalor (18/1), Sharp As A Pin (125/1)
An intriguing contest which brings plenty of strong form lines together, the top-weight Arthurian Fame obviously sets the form standard on his consistent form book and belated victory last month. He should be hard to beat but the weight penalty is significant. Jon Ess and Somptueux registered career-best's last time but need to back that up at a track which may not play to their strengths. A chance is taken with the filly ANNA BUNINA, who wasn't disgraced at higher levels previously and was an easy winner last time her. Her 7lb is also a very handy advantage to have too.
