Runners
| Pos | No. | Dr | Horse | Jockey | Trainer | Age | Wgt | Best decimal odds |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10th | 1 | 11 |
Asfoora (M)
One of the top sprinters around, beating several of these when winning Nunthorpe at York and Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp last season. Could be vulnerable on first run back under a 7 lb penalty, however.

Oisin Murphy | Lemos Souza | 7 | 63 kg |

9/2
|
| 14th | 2 | 8 |
Ain't Nobody (C)
Seemed to excel himself in first-time headgear when second in the Nunthorpe at York and that remains his standout effort. Headgear left off for this return.

R L Moore | K A Ryan | 4 | 61.2 kg |

14/1

| 9th | 3 | 13 |
First Instinct (F)
Career best when winning Group 3 at Newbury in September by neck from Shagraan. Had the worst of the draw in Prix de l'Abbaye next time but penalty makes this a tough ask on return.

Tom Marquand | W J Haggas | 4 | 61.2 kg |

| 4th | 4 | 9 |
Jm Jungle (G)
Took his form to another level last season, winning the Dash at Epsom and Group 2 at Glorious Goodwood. Drawn away from the action in Prix de l'Abbaye at Longchamp final start and he's on the shortlist.

Jason Hart | J & S Quinn | 6 | 61.2 kg |

| 1st | 5 | 4 |
Night Raider (G)
Speedy front runner but failed to win last season, albeit highly tried. Back down in class on return but this looks a strong Group 3.

Quinault (G)
[T]
As good as ever when making all in 7f Group 3 at York last summer and ended season with fine third in Champions Sprint at Ascot. On the go early this year and ran well when third in Group 3 here (6f) 16 days ago. Front runner who is worth …

Rumstar (G)
FAV
Twice a winner last season, including when making a successful reappearance in this (2-2 over C&D). Excuses last 2 starts of the campaign and bold bid expected on return.

Rob Hornby | J G Portman | 6 | 61.2 kg |

| 3rd | 8 | 2 |
Shagraan (G)
Likeable sprinter for Michael Appleby, winning a couple of listed events towards the end of last season. Just edged out at this level at Newbury in between those wins and can go well fresh. Has re-joined former yard.

Rossa Ryan | C G Cox | 5 | 61.2 kg |

Washington Heights (G)
Respectable fourth in this last year. Took advantage of a drop in grade when getting back to winning ways in listed race at York in July and excuses at the highest level both subsequent outings. However, needs to leave comeback run here we…

Frost At Dawn (M)
[V]
Went close in a listed race at this meeting last year and better than ever after, winning listed event at Haydock before placed in Group 1s at Royal Ascot/York. Big player if ready to go after 6 months off.

L Morris | W J Knight | 5 | 59.9 kg |

Miss Attitude (M)
[TP]
Successful twice last year, better than ever when landing listed race at Deauville in August. Excuses both starts this season but needs things to drop right.

Billy Loughnane | J Channon | 6 | 59.9 kg |

| 12th | 12 | 6 |
Town And Country (F)
Confirmed herself a useful filly when winning listed race at Sandown last summer but limitations exposed in pattern events after.

Shane Foley | H De Bromhead | 4 | 59.9 kg |

| 11th | 13 | 14 |
Beckford's Folly (G)
Progressive at 2 yrs, taking his form to another level when narrow winner of the Cornwallis over C&D. However, never a threat under a penalty against his elders in Abernant Stakes here on return and looks up against it again.

W Buick | C Appleby | 3 | 58.5 kg |

11/1
|
| 7th | 14 | 7 |
Five Ways (C)
Progressive as a juvenile, making all in Group 3 at Kempton before fourth in the Middle Park here final start. Raced only at 6f but should prove effective at this trip. However, likely to find this too demanding under a penalty taking on e…
