Secret Handsheikh (11/8), Libra Tiger (7/2), Voodoo Ray (7/2), Thismydream (13/2), Alafdhal (8/1)

This is easier than the Sandown race LIBRA TIGER contested 10 days ago and now 2 lb below his last winning mark, he looks ready to cash in. Course regular Secret Handsheikh and Voodoo Ray look the chief threats.
