First Principle (11/4), City Of Poets (4/1), Advancing (9/2), Dosman (15/2), Duke's Command (8/1), Zryan (12/1), Unassuming (14/1), Moon Beginnings (14/1), Thunder Wonder (14/1), Superposition (25/1), Penzance (25/1), Perfect Part (25/1), Exquisite Acclaim (80/1)

CITY OF POETS improved when switched to all-weather handicaps last season and James Tate's colt can continue on his upward curve after a 4-month break. First Principle is well suited by this track and has to be considered again on the back of a good effort over C&D earlier in the month, whilst Dosman and Advancing also merit consideration in a hot race.
