Rufus King (5/4), Red Persian (5/2), Bella Figura (9/2), Adnap (9/1), Hyperlapse (10/1), Only William (33/1), Island Affair (50/1), Stormy Tale (66/1)

Red Persian has gone well in both starts to date, twice finishing second, and should be off the mark soon. He should go well again here but may run into one in the form of RUFUS KING. It is to be noted that his leading British trainer sends him here, his sole runner on the card, and the booking of a jockey riding with supreme confidence right now adds to the allure. He has already won in fine style over 6f at Pontefract and looks a strong contender in this now upped in trip having run well enough over 5f last time out. Bella Figura is also entitled to go well while money for newcomers Hyperlapse or Island Affair would be notable.
