A number of these have been running well without making the winner's circle. However, TADLEEL has had less chances than most and shaped well after an absence of over a year when a respectable third to Lethal Lunch in a 7f Kempton handicap. He'll be on the premises if repeating that level of form. Zeyzoun should be winning before the year is out but the assessor is not helping his cause by inching him up the ratings, despite a lack of success. The consistent Dourado is also short-listed along with Glory Of Paris and Lawmaking, the latter back in action after wind surgery.
