ALI BIN NAYEF has returned to form since the application of cheekpieces and he brings the pick of the recent form into this. He will be racing off higher marks in future and that makes him hard to oppose. Jimmyjames , Loch Luath and Sunset Sadie are likely to improve for this longer journey, but a bigger threat may come from Battling Spirit. The ten-year-old caught the eye on his return from a lengthy absence and is well handicapped on his best form.
- Ali Bin Nayef
- Battling Spirit
- Sunset Sadie
