Kelpie Grey (11/8), Roaring Ralph (9/2), Al Muqdad (9/2), Valentine Catcher (6/1), Novak (11/1), Mr Cool (14/1), Royal Blaze (16/1), Maui Breeze (40/1), Elizabeth Bay (80/1)
AL MUQDAD is down at 0-70 level for the first time since an easy win at Wolverhampton towards the end of last year and might be worth chancing to stage a revival at a track where he's tasted success in the past. Roaring Ralph will be a danger if he can translate this year's excellent all-weather form back to turf. Novak should benefit from the drop back to 7f and is next on the list.
