Quite a few of these have the talent to get beaten when looking as though they are going to win and it may well be that the straightforward DARK CONFIDANT ridden by up and coming Ella McCain will be able to strike again. Our Place In Loule can't be left out of this but there are question marks about him as there are with Dodgy Bob both being questionable in a finish at times. Racquet should run his race although his task is a stiff one off this mark with most of the others having a lot to prove.
