Dubai Icon (10/3), Montather (7/2), Jumaira Bay (6/1), Summa Peto (15/2), Far Hope (9/1), Final Voyage (12/1), Piece Of History (12/1), Endured (16/1), Surprise Picture (18/1), You're Hired (25/1), Animal Instinct (25/1), Laos (40/1)

MONTATHER hasn't had much go his way the last twice and now finds himself back down in grade bidding to maintain an unbeaten record on polytrack, so he makes plenty of appeal from an ideal draw. Stablemate Jumaira Bay is also back in calmer waters having had an excuse last time, so he's considered the main danger.
