Cahala Dancer finished runner-up in a classified race against horses rated even lower than these at Brighton last time and is not certain to repeat that run while Prince Namid was well beaten on his only previous start over a mile. TIGERBILL faded badly a couple of furlongs from home on his reappearance but last year's placed efforts on the all-weather give him every chance and he gets the token vote. Monsieur Pontaven may figure on his efforts over shorter trips but it's hard to make any sort of case for the remainder.
