Hurricane Lane (8/11), Mostahdaf (11/2), Broome (6/1), Third Realm (8/1), Layfayette (11/1), Solid Stone (14/1), Living Legend (18/1), Away He Goes (25/1)

Lack of match practice is perhaps a slight concern but last year's triple Group 1 winner HURRICANE LANE is potentially a cut above this opposition and he can get his 4-y-o campaign off to a perfect start. Broome can leave his reappearance run behind and the fill the runner-up spot in this for the second year in succession. Mostahdaf may prove best of the remainder.
