White Desert (6/4), Magellan (5/1), Abareeq (6/1), Hawridge Flyer (7/1), Sporting Times (7/1), Past Master (12/1), Native Fighter (14/1), Stamford Raffles (14/1), Hope Is High (16/1), See Of Rome (16/1), Excellent Result (25/1), Fair Power (50/1)

Sporting Times is interesting after wind surgery and a check for market confidence in his chance looks essential. Hawridge Flyer is not ruled out if he can settle better this time, while Hope Is High could come on for her reappearance and is considered. Magellan is another for the short-list along with Native Fighter, now he is dropped in grade, but preference is for WHITE DESERT, who represents a stable in decent nick and is worth another try in handicaps after a good run last time.
