Bannister (11/4), Queens Wish (10/3), Ikigai Star (5/1), Start Again (5/1), Vivid Pink (7/1), Gms Prince (12/1), Lord Warburton (18/1), Soldat Forte (22/1), Leading Lion (25/1), Little Soiree (66/1)

QUEENS WISH showed promise when third on debut for new connections in June and she appeals most with a recent pipe-opener at Uttoxeter under her belt. Bannister isn't the easiest to win with but is 2 lb lower than when successful in Division 1 of this race last year, while Ikigai Star has claims on the form he showed earlier in the season, particularly if getting his own way in front. Start Again is the one to note for market confidence now handicapping.
