Secret Investor (10/11), Samburu Shujaa (11/8), King Calvin (6/1), Waitinonasunnyday (200/1), Sustainable Star (250/1)
Secret Investor sets the standard here and if able to reproduce his second run at Kempton, he would probably win. However, he faded fast at Doncaster last time, which is a concern, as is his ability to act on soft ground given that his best effort and his point-to-point win were on good. Conversely, KING CALVIN may be better suited by a bit of cut and he is taken to build on a promising debut and come good this time. Samburu Shujaa is the other obvious contender and is certainly not ruled out.
