Mind The Crack (1/3), Dubai Philosopher (7/2), Little India (11/2), Ydra (12/1), Kalaya (40/1)

Mark Johnston's horses are running well and they are always to be feared when going up in trip. MIND THE CRACK showed plenty to work on last year in three runs, including a placed effort at Newmarket when last spotted. This appears a good starting point for him. Little India may well prove the main danger, though Dubai Philosopher likely has a bit more to offer than he showed on comeback at Wolverhampton and rates an interesting turf debutant.
