Karl Burke won this 12 months ago and can do so once more courtesy of FINAL APPEAL. The Inns Of Court colt went desperately close at Nottingham before scoring in fine style at Wolverhampton and, in receipt of 5lb from dual Musselburgh winner Adonius, he would appear to hold outstanding claims. The latter is respected though, as is Bath scorer Wait Geordie, and don't rule out a big run from Blackbeard filly Black Treasure on her debut.

Being drawn low can often be of benefit on the Roodee and that earns PARTISAN HERO the vote. David Loughnane's charge wasn't as fortunate when attempting to make all in this 12 months ago and although much higher in the handicap now, recent efforts out in Bahrain suggest he's ready to win again. Snow Master struggled at Pattern level last season, most recently in the Joel Stakes at Newmarket. He goes handicapping for the first time, though, and might be up to defying a mark of 100, while Percy's Lad and Bellarchi appeal most of the remainder.

Amelia Earhart struck in the same Leopardstown maiden that stable companion Minnie Hauk did 12 months ago en route to landing this and then Oaks glory, which entitles her to plenty of respect at the very least. As was the case with her brother Cleveland, she will surely benefit from a step up in trip and that may allow Aidan O'Brien to land his 10th Cheshire Oaks, but the Gosden's are no stranger to success in this contest either and I'M THE ONE is preferred. The daughter of Sea The Stars was mightily impressive when scoring on her debut at Newbury last month and, as the current Epsom Oaks favourite, may well be very special. Sugar Island looks next best.

BENVENUTO CELLINI showcased a high level of form as a juvenile, winning impressively on Irish Champions Weekend before making the frame behind two stable companions in the Futurity Trophy at Doncaster, and has an excellent opportunity to continue Aidan O'Brien's fantastic record in this contest. The Ballydoyle maestro has won the Chester Vase on no less than 11 occasions and the son of Frankel appears more than capable of announcing himself as one of their leading hopes for Epsom. Stablemate Proposition merits respect, and Del Maro remains capable of better having belatedly opened his account at Yarmouth last month.

ALAMINOS may well have made a winning return to action with better luck in the closing stages at Pontefract and a 3lb rise looks to be very fair. The Kevin Ryan stable won this prize 12 months ago and he has plenty in his favour to gain a second career success. Ruby's Angel won a valuable nursery at York's Ebor meeting before appearing to find 7f a step too far at Kempton. She is entitled to bounce back, while Watcha Snoop is another to consider.

Second in the Group 3 Horris Hill on his final start last year, ARABIAN DESERT was beaten at 1/8 on his return at Pontefract last month but that form has been boosted since. With that in mind, the son of Frankel can make amends here. El Nay has reached the frame twice on the all-weather and could do even better on turf, while Tornado Tower's Nottingham second will have given connections plenty of encouragement.

In a wide-open contest, marginal preference is for PIETRO. The four-year-old progressed well last season and maintained that momentum when successful on his return at Wolverhampton in March. Only 2lb higher here, James Fanshawe's gelding could take some stopping. A War Eagle has to be respected following an encouraging effort in defeat at Thirsk on Saturday, while Dance In The Storm and Rare Change are others to consider.
