Umberto (6/5), Lady Of Arabia (3/1), Eligible (11/2), Hieronymus (15/2), Arctician (8/1), Gavi Di Gavi (9/1), Longlai (12/1), Desfondado (22/1), Tarbaan (22/1), Afta Party (150/1)

UMBERTO was an excellent close third off this mark over C&D on his final 3-y-o start and the booking of Oisin Murphy suggests he's ready to go after 6 months off. Lady of Arabia made it 3 wins from 4 starts around here when beating Gavi di Gavi 4 weeks ago and is the obvious threat.
