Cash Back (11/10), Fakir D'Oudairies (7/4), Notebook (7/2), Djingle (22/1)

FAKIR D'OUDAIRIES' Arkle second received a huge boost when Put The Kettle On made a winning return and this classy 5-yo is taken to follow suit in a fascinating Grade 2. Cash Back could prove a formidable opponent, particularly if getting his own way in front, while the likeable Notebook can't be ruled out.
