Kotari (5/4), Mill Street (4/1), El Vigaro (11/2), Getmetothemoon (6/1), Mini Yeats (9/1), Impecunious (11/1), Taritino (12/1), Siam Park (12/1), Card Dealer (16/1), Badlands Boy (20/1), As Fast As Wind (40/1), Basman Palace (50/1), Basilette (66/1), Zufal (125/1)

This looks a strong race for the grade with KOTARI and Taritino of particular interest having displayed improved Flat form since last contesting a race over hurdles. Preference is for the former with fitness on his side. Of the rest, Mill Street makes a quick switch to handicaps from juvenile company and he's a player with his weight-for-age and excellent rider's claim thrown in, too.
