Dubai Hills, Striker Torres, Prime Mood, Zegna, Lock 'n' Load, Doric Echo and Senor Berti have all been left in the richly-endowed Listed contest at the five-day stage.

Fellow Yorkshire handler Richard Fahey also has strength in numbers with Deadly Secret, Olympic Dream, Viva Ronaldo, Salsa Star and Fathey making up his quintet of possibles.

Last year's winning handler, Stan Moore, has Riflessione and Total Gallery, Godolphin could run Khor Dubai while Kingship Spirit, Magaling and Brae Hill are some of the names from the big Newmarket yards.

Docofthebay will try to make an improvement on last year's second place as he lines up in Saturday's totesport.com Cambridgeshire at Newmarket.

The four-year-old finished just a length behind hot favourite Pipedreamer that day, but faces a stiffer task racing off a 9lb higher mark this time.

However, trainer Jamie Osborne reports the colt to be coming into his own after a season that has yet to yield a win in six starts.

"He's in good order and he runs – the only worry would be if the ground turned soft, but I don't think it's going to do that," said Osborne.

"He's had a difficult year this year but I think he's just starting to come right now. I'm happier with him now than I have been all season and he does seem to do well at this time of year.

"He obviously has more weight to carry this time but he is a nice horse."

Docofthebay sported blinkers earlier in the campaign with the headgear in place when he finished second in the Royal Hunt Cup at Ascot.

Osborne took them off when the son of Docksider finished second at Great Leighs last time and has no plans to reapply them at the weekend.
