Amir Kabir (5/2), Bavardages (5/2), Zambezi Magic (7/2), My Poem (4/1), Northern Hope (10/1), Jack Ryan (14/1), Bentley Wood (16/1), Warne's Army (20/1), Come On My Son (25/1)

There are a number of potential improvers on display, and the twice-raced Amir Kabir is respected after meeting trouble on both his starts. He's clearly unexposed, but marginal preference is for ZAMBEZI MAGIC, who showed plenty last year, and has been given a chance by the handicapper with an opening mark of 73. Bavardages was a good second last week, and with fitness assured, looks sure to be thereabouts once more.
