Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and WILLIAM TELL can build on a promising debut second in a big field here last month and get off the mark. The Gordon Elliott-trained duo The Grey Poet (second choice) and Cosmos d'Ainay could emerge as the main dangers with The Man's Room and Tippawan Haa also in the picture for minor honours.

  1. WILLIAM TELL (IRE)
  2. THE GREY POET (IRE)
  3. COSMOS D'AINAY (FR)
