Verdict

SALEH'S form of late entitles him to plenty of respect and he may have more in the locker yet, which is more than can be said for the majority of his rivals. Captain Courageous is another unexposed type who put in an improved performance last time but had been slowly away from the stalls on previous occasions and will need to prove he's confined that habit to history now. Zorba The Greek appears to have enjoyed the switch of yard and should be in the shake up provided this doesn't come too soon. 1. Saleh 2. Captain Courageous 3. Zorba The Greek
