Dirham Emirati (5/2), Geelong (5/1), Beggarman (6/1), Cloudy Rose (7/1), Thunder Flash (17/2), Silver Bubble (9/1), Urban Forest (9/1), Hidden Pearl (11/1), Humaniste (18/1), Thahab Ifraj (50/1)

A few with chances but the vote goes to SILVER BUBBLE who arrives on the back of a very good fourth here and can take another step forward now upped in distance. Dirham Emirati is feared most on the back of his recent victory here with in-form trio Urban Forest, Beggarman and Thunder Flash also well in the mix.
