The shortlisted three are Marning Star, Parliamentary and Red Cauldron, with the selection being Marning Star, unless the betting says markedly otherwise. The probables: Apollo Shark, who showed promise when fourth on his Ripon debut; Cetic Strand, who was fourth on his Newcastle debut; Marning Star, a 23,000 guineas son of Diktat who showed promise on his Windsor debut; Parliamentary, a Mark Johnston-trained son of Diktat; Red Cauldron, a 29,000 guineas son of Choisir, and Tim Easterby's 28,000 guineas purchase, Royal Musketeer. The possibles: Filthy Gorgeous, who is a 12,000 guineas daughter of Bahamian Bounty, and Uncle Harry, a 9,000 guineas son of Mind Games. The selection - although watch the betting because favourites have a good record in this race - is Marning Star, who seemed to get the hang of things late in the day on his debut and who can improve today.
