Charlie Appleby sent out last year's winner and ARABIAN OASIS looks to have every chance in this. He was outpointed by less than a length at Newmarket on his debut and can go one better. Dissolution is another leading contender having returning a losing favourite in better company at York while Darrington is not out of this either on his debut fourth at Newcastle. Rocky Rider is the most interesting of the newcomers given he's related to Group winners, has a host of fancy entries and cost 400,000gns.
