Best Secret (7/2), High Degree (9/2), Marhaba Ghaiyyath (6/1), Fort George (15/2), Daiquiri Bay (9/1), Parole D'oro (10/1), Serenity Blue (11/1), Ernst Blofeld (16/1), Calla Lagoon (18/1), Dante's Lad (18/1), Hymnbook (22/1), Thunder Wonder (25/1), Janey Mackers (25/1), Nebras (28/1), Seagolazo (28/1), Magellan Cloud (28/1), Best Adventure (33/1), Brise Noir (40/1)

This looks a very good renewal of what is often one of the hottest 3-y-o handicaps of the season. It'll require a really smart effort to defy top weight but BEST SECRET might be up to the task after his highly promising effort at Royal Ascot. Parole d'Oro, Dante's Lad and Charlie Johnston's Marhaba Ghaiyyath head the many dangers.
