Threatening (5/2), Al Rufaa (5/2), Tonal (3/1), Studious (7/1), Boubyan (12/1), Ernie's Valentine (14/1), Lessay (25/1), Soames Forsyte (40/1)
The return to this sort of trip will surely suit AL RUFAA and given the mark he's on these days, he looks ready to end a frustrating losing sequence. Tonal is a thriving rival who will doubtless be popular, with Boubyan also of interest at longer odds.
