Easy With Aces (10/3), Copper Mountain (9/2), Sweetest Company (11/2), Autumn Festival (13/2), Prince Achille (15/2), Romantic Thought (17/2), Clodovea (18/1), Connie R (22/1), Antwasaprettypenny (22/1), Golden Prosperity (22/1), Urban Road (25/1), Methinks (25/1), Stanley Snugfit (25/1), The Grey Wolf (66/1), Vamos Chica (80/1)

PRINCE ACHILLE is bred to be better than this grade, and following an eye-catching qualifying run 3 weeks ago, a big step forward now handicapping could well be on the cards. Copper Mountain is a huge threat if carrying on the good work back on turf, with Sweetest Company completing the shortlist.
