Most of these look thoroughly exposed but a token vote goes to HAMIS AL BIN. He won over 6f here in December and wasn't far away when third off today's mark last time. Indian Affair had been threatening to score before a poor effort here on his latest start while Soul Instinct has also been thereabouts of late. Tsarglas landed a double at the turn of the year and, if forgiven a woeful run at Chelmsford last time, may figure in the finish. Prominna has yet to threaten but has the most scope of these and could go well.
