Los Angeles (13/8), See The Fire (7/2), Anmaat (5/1), Map Of Stars (13/2), Ombudsman (7/1), Facteur Cheval (25/1), Royal Champion (25/1), Certain Lad (66/1), Continuous (100/1)

See The Fire has been supplemented following her Group 2 demolition job at York and in receipt of weight, she could be dangerous in a cracking renewal of the Prince of Wales's Stakes.
