Near Kettering (11/8), Khalaab (9/2), Rickrack (11/2), Nimitz (6/1), South East (10/1), Elm Grove (10/1), Nibiru (16/1)

An interesting contest which has drawn together a few worth keep tabs on. South East certainly fits that profile and is one to bear in mind for future reference if nothing else, while Nibiru drops in class from the last time he was seen in action and cannot be discounted at this more realistic level. Near Kettering, on the other hand, has fitness on his side and still has scope to progress further in the handicapping ranks. He is rated as a big threat. However, preference goes to KHALAAB, who has a willing attitude and, having fared well against a couple of useful looking types at The Curragh in May, the Hamdan Al Maktoum-owned gets the nod as the one to be on.
