Baba Reza (85/40), Mutahamisa (5/2), Toussarok (5/2), Fayathaan (6/1), Sands In Time (18/1)

A case can be made for all, but Roger Varian's MUTAHAMISA returned much improved after an absence when scoring at Kempton last month so looks one to keep onside, with more progress on the cards now she steps into handicaps. In-form top-weight Toussarok rates a big threat with both Fayathaan and Sands In Time not taken lighty either in an open handicap.
