Sameem (11/8), Dubai Tradition (11/4), Kitaabaat (3/1), Big Challenge (6/1), Island Brave (6/1), To Be Wild (10/1), Jersey Wonder (14/1)
KITAABAAT was left poorly placed at Chelmsford last time, but shaped as if still at the top of his game, and he's the percentage call here. Sameem was progressive before flopping on his latest start, but that was too bad to be true, and he's a big danger if bouncing back. Island Brave takes a drop in class, and should also be very competitive as a result.
