Arabeska (3/1), Mokhalad (4/1), Shatharaat (9/2), Hit The Silk (9/2), Madam Seamstress (8/1), Ahlan Bil Zain (8/1), Mary Salome (12/1), Peshkova (12/1)

This looks a tricky puzzle to solve with Shatharaat not one to completely rule out after he looked a promising and progressive recruit to the handicap sphere last season. He signed off last season, and returned to the track this year with a pair of underwhelming efforts but is still unexposed after just the five starts so should be given another chance. The consistent Mokhalad bounced back from a couple of poor showings to win in commanding fashion when last seen and should cope with the 5lb rise. The selection is ARABESKA though, who broke her maiden duck over C&D in June and showed her wellbeing when a fine second at Leopardstown last month.
