Humble Hero (1/1), Glassy Waters (11/4), Kazawi (7/1), Lethal Impact (8/1), Cross Step (12/1), Sea Sovereign (28/1), War Drums (33/1), Tapdancealltheway (66/1), Mancini (100/1), Iley Boy (100/1), Stockton (100/1), Ruby Taylor (200/1)

William Haggas' horses are running well at present and his HUMBLE HERO, runner-up on debut at Haydock last month can claim this opening contest. The selection has a leading jockey in Ryan Moore in the saddle here and can get the better of Sea Sovereign who ran well when making his Flat debut following a number of promising efforts in bumpers. Of the remainder Glassy Waters, third last time out can occupy the same spot once more while War Drums is another to note on his debut.
