Famous Star (5/4), Greek Flame (5/2), Resumption (11/4), She Got The Look (14/1), Wabbal (25/1), Al Muhaajir (33/1), Obsidian Knight (40/1)

FAMOUS STAR did well to win at Lingfield at the second time of asking and remains capable of better. Resumption and Greek Flame have shown a similar level of form and can't be discounted by any means.
