1

Dave The King

Drops in trip, has ability and can go very close from the best draw.

2

Zapatillas

Is taking time to win again but is in good form and must be respected and included.

3

Trip Of Fortune

A very capable sort whom probably never saw out the distance last time but still ran well. Big chance.

4

Safe Passage

Is becoming a tad difficult to assess and predict lately but nevertheless, he has talent and can never be ignored.

5

Rascallion

Has ability but needs to bounce right back to very best.

6

Bartholdi

Is making us wait for his next win but is doing enough to keep us interested. He has a place chance.

7

Pomp And Power

Is extremely temperamental but loaded with ability. It is hard to assess how he will run but if the proper Pomp And Power turns up – beware.

8

Mk’s Pride

Bounced right back to very best last time when winning and can follow up.

9

Second Base

Was thought to have no chance in the HDJ last time but he ran an absolute cracker running on for fifth. Chance.

10

Princess Calla

Outstanding filly that goes 1800m. Her last win was breathtaking and she will make them run. Obvious win chance.

11

See It Again

His run in the HDJ was out the top draw. He is packed with talent and has very strong each way claims. One of the horses to beat.

12

Al Muthana

He is drawn widest of the 12 runners, which is a slight worry. He won the G1 L’Ormarins King’s Plate earlier this year, has solid recent form and went close to Charles Dickens last time in the Hollywoodbets Gold Challenge. He has strong claims and another huge run can be expected.
