An easy winner of his sole start in points, KSAR FATAL looked something out of the ordinary when readily maintaining his unbeaten record in a Gowran bumper in March. He's fancied to make another bold bid in this stronger affair, with El Cairos, who was a good fifth in the Champion Bumper, also shortlisted. Dani Donadoni and Gordon Elliott-trained pair Koktail Brut and He Can't Dance complete the shortlist.
