Hamada (7/4), Raymond Tusk (10/3), Walton Street (11/2), Dal Harraild (13/2), Algometer (7/1), Perfect Clarity (14/1), On To Victory (16/1), Jet Streaming (50/1)
Stepping from handicaps to Group class is never easy but HAMADA couldn't possibly have been more impressive in a strong handicap at Newmarket so he should be capable of taking the hike in class in his stride. The other seemingly quite unexposed contender Raymond Tusk is rated as the chief danger. This Listed winner should be suited by today's step up in trip and this race was won by a three-year-old last season. Algometer and Dal Harraild are seasoned campaigners at this sort of level and they will find any chinks in the armour of the less exposed duo if given the chance.
