That Is The Spirit (9/2), Sophie P (5/1), Dark Profit (6/1), Storm Cry (13/2), Penwortham (8/1), Sakhee's Return (9/1), Muntadab (10/1), Gurkha Friend (11/1), Rousayan (14/1), Rock N Rolla (14/1), Explain (18/1), Al Khan (22/1)

THAT IS THE SPIRIT ran well in a hot contest at Newmarket latest and dropped 2lb here will take some catching from an ideal draw. Muntadab has done little wrong lately and merits respect as does Sophie P who won a well contested race here last time and could easily overcome a penalty.
