Difficult to make a strong case out for any of these, so caution is advised and the tentative suggestion is MIDNIGHT REQUEST, who was unable to win from this mark last time out, but may still prove good enough in a weak enough contest. Dubai Devils came good this time last year and may do so again to collect some prize money, while Buckontuppence is another likely to do the same.
