Crown Imperial (5/2), Respond (7/2), Hinchinbrooke (5/1), Altareq (11/2), Gamrai (11/2), Meblesh (15/2), Caughtredhanded (15/2), Valiancy (14/1), Minnesota (28/1), Sail On Jimmy Boy (100/1), Bedford (150/1)

RESPOND was a major eye-catcher on his recent introduction at Chelmsford and, with that experience to draw upon here, he is the pick of several appealing types. He may have most to fear from Caughtredhanded, who was behind Hinchinbrooke in the Wood Ditton at Newmarket but he is arguably open to the greater improvement of the pair. The William Haggas-trained newcomers Crown Imperial and Valiancy are likely-looking types that need a close look in the betting.
