Under The Sun (5/2), Battle Cry (9/2), Zain Blue (11/2), Castle In The Sand (11/2), Kings Valley (11/2), Sisyphean (10/1), Superposition (10/1), Volterra (25/1), Dimsons (25/1), Peace Walk (28/1), Thanks Forever (33/1), Al Waasl (33/1), Ever Driven (50/1), Spirit Of Acklam (80/1), Bulmer Bank (80/1)

UNDER THE SUN was only narrowly denied by a subsequent listed runner-up at Ascot last time and can make it third time lucky. Andrew Balding has a good recent record in this and his Castle In The Sand, who is nicely drawn in stall 1, is second choice ahead of Ollie Sangster's Kings Valley. Peace Walk and Sisyphean are newcomers with Group entries and need betting checks.
