The rejuvenated veteran Raising Sand drops down in trip bidding for a hat-trick while Biggles has now won four of his last five outings and can figure again. Final Watch won an amateurs' race at Ascot while Marlay Park is best at Epsom and scored at the latter track last time.

Ed Walker trained Molls Memory to win the last three renewals and runs King Of Jungle this time.
