Newmarket

This looks wide open but it might be worth siding with CROUPIER, who was an eye-catching third in a big field at Thirsk two weeks ago and remains well treated on his old form including three wins over this trip. Hickory produced a strong late thrust when winning a Class 2 at Ascot last month and he's feared most ahead of the unexposed Brocklesby Bill, who made it 2-5 when making all at Sandown last time. Storm Star has possibilities back up in trip and down in grade, while Principality and Tuscan Hills are also on the shortlist.[David Moon]
