Animato (11/8), Tafsir (11/8), Show No Fear (9/2), Yakhabar (7/1), Adrian (16/1)

TAFSIR stepped up on her reappearance when runner-up here on Monday and Jim Goldie's mare looks up to going one better if able to repeat that effort. Animato shaped well at Chelmsford on his penultimate outing and also has to be respected stepped back up in trip, with Yakhabar preferred of the remaining trio.
