Motown Mick (13/8), Our Man In Havana (9/4), Central City (9/4), Zalshah (4/1), Diamond Pursuit (9/2), Roseau City (11/2), The Mums (10/1)

MOTOWN MICK may not have won either of his last two but he is a good yardstick here and likely to be able to produce his running, so he is taken to defy top weight. Central City could be a danger if handling this track on his first attempt, while The Mums is another obvious probable contender after showing better signs last time. Our Man In Havana is another in decent form and taking him on also has its concerns, while cases can be made for Diamond Pursuit and Roseau City, though whether they can bridge the class divide here has to be open at least to some doubt.
