A couple of these are clear at the weights but Soundslikethunder failed to beat a rival at Southwell back in January and HAYADH is preferred as he looks more likely to run up to his mark. Eldelbar and Hajjam have a bit to find with the selection on these terms while the remainder are even harder to recommend.
