Rebel's Romance (11/10), Sweet William (10/3), Continuous (9/2), Epic Poet (7/1), Alsakib (14/1)
REBEL'S ROMANCE wasn't at his very best in the Sheema Classic last month but still looks the one to beat on a rare start in Britain. Epic Poet is another who arrives with fitness assured after a spell in Dubai and might provide a bigger threat than the returning Sweet William.
