Amir El Jabal gets the vote here with Leamington Lad and Classic Dream rating the main dangers. The selection won well on his debut, is sure to have learnt from the experiance and given nominal improvement he will be hard to beat. Leamington Lad rates the main danger on his latest second behind Paradi but he has all ready suggested he will be sen to better effect over a longer trip and he is taken on with this in mind. Classic Dream is another that could go well on his latest second behind Capitalise his yard are in form and he should be watched ibn the market. Of the remainder Marc Of Brilliance is game nad consistent and is sure to run his race but he is more exposed than most and for the winner we return to Amir El Jabal.
