Godsend (4/7), Beggarman (7/1), Young Merlin (15/2), Cubana Habana (15/2), Mujid (17/2), Made For You (12/1), Oriental Art (14/1), Hidden Depths (14/1), African Star (25/1), Calculate (66/1)

CUBANA HABANA is handicapped to win and is sure to be suited by the step back up in trip, so he gets the nod ahead of the improving 3-y-o Godsend. Oriental Art shaped well recently, so he's another one to consider.
