Selected odds by:
Won a Listed race at Ascot and has been running well in defeat subsequently, just touched off by a smart sort in a Listed race last time and that rival has come out and won a Group 3 since. Should run well despite having to concede weight to most.
Has won three Listed races in his career and not beaten in a French Group 1 two starts back. He's a little inconsistent but has a good chance if he's on a going day and versatile from a ground perspective.
Impressive when landing a Group 3 at Newcastle earlier in the campaign but not as good in two subsequent turf starts, though not beaten all that far at the Curragh last time. Probably wants fast ground to be seen at his best so won't want any rain.
Winner on his seasonal return in a Class 3 at Nottingham and has run well in some decent handicaps since. Plenty to do on these terms though and would need a career best by some stretch to land this.
Won a valuable contest at Newmarket at the end of 2016 and got back on track when dropped in class at Kempton last time. Needs to come on plenty for that run to land any sort of blow in this contest though and not always fast away from the stalls.
Won for the first time since his second start at Haydock last year with a facile success at Lingfield last time. Plenty to like about that effort on just second start for this yard and may go on improving now. Leading claims.
Has won four of his last five starts but they all came on the AW and not as good at Haydock last time. Has been given a break since then and may have been amiss so no surprise to see a better performance here; probably won't want any rain.
Rattled off a hat-trick last year and impressive when winning on return at York this time around. Continued in form until a disappointing effort at Ascot last time out but may be better on faster ground here and not ruled out if she can bounce back.
Impressive when winning at York and has run well in defeat twice since, particularly her Listed effort at Pontefract last time where she looked unlucky in running. More needed here but she can't be ruled out if she takes another step forward.
Shamardal filly, cost 300,000 gns as a yearling. Full-sister to Group 2 winner Puissance De Lune. Won well on debut over C&D in April and while it's a slight concern she's not been seen since, she's bound to improve. Interesting runner.
Ran well over C&D in a Group 3 on her return this year but not been at her best since. Drying ground in her favour here and not dismissed if back to her best in a first-time visor.

Second Thought (11/4), Dream Of Dreams (4/1), Tabarrak (5/1), Golden Stunner (9/1), Princess De Lune (10/1), Eartha Kitt (10/1), Tupi (14/1), Accidental Agent (16/1), Urban Fox (20/1), Koropick (25/1), George William (33/1), Belle Meade (33/1)
DREAM OF DREAMS got back on track last time out and the colt looks capable of more progression for his new yard. Tabarrak doesn't have an easy task at these weights but he's been in good form this campaign and should do better. Eartha Kitt and Princess De Lune are two three-year-old fillies with progressive profiles, with the former looking a little unlucky not to win last time out and the latter entirely unexposed.
