Mutadaffeq (2/1), Royal Reserve (3/1), Oasis Fantasy (3/1), Compton Mill (4/1), Albizzia (12/1), Psychotic (16/1)
A chance can be given to most of these, but the most appealing is COMPTON MILL, who has slipped below his last winning mark, and is only marginally higher in the weights than when landing this race 12 months ago. Royal Reserve comes here off a career-best effort on turf and is respected, as is the reliable Oasis Fantasy.
