Seeking Gold (11/10), Modern Dancer (6/4), Urban Terms (15/2), Global Resolve (14/1), Lion Kingdom (16/1), Conquistador (22/1)

SEEKING GOLD had a pair of next-time-out winners directly behind when runner-up on Newbury debut a month ago and the 6 lb he receives from Modern Dancer may prove to be decisive. Urban Terms looks the part on paper and is also considered in what could turn out to be a fair novice.
