Mighty Mac

J: M Mjoka

Shown all winning form at Kenilworth (two successes) but grade looks suitable; not beaten too far when fifth at Kenilworth last month in a conditions race; should be thereabouts from a good draw.

Augusta Blue

Trippi's Silk

J: A Domeyer

T: C Bass-Robinson

Behind Tambourine Man when going down narrowly at Kenilworth 21 days ago; only once has he got into the winners' enclosure but normally pretty consistent; first-time cheekpieces; recent display was promising so should not be ruled out.

Wing Walker

Few miles on the clock with this his fourth race; not beaten too far when fourth of 12 at Kenilworth three weeks ago in a maiden plate; easy enough to take on.

Grue Of Ice

A long time since her last win; not disgraced when fourth of nine (Kenilworth, close behind Why Not Jackie) four weeks ago; easy to oppose given the strong opposition here.

Nile The Boss

J: R Fourie

T: P Botha

Respectable effort (beaten just under 2l) at Kenilworth last week in a stakes race; managed just one success in her career to date but has run well here recently; definitely of interest if confirming promise shown last time.

Trippi's Silk competes off the back of some good runs, and True Horizon might have a say. However, TAMBOURINE MAN is strongly fancied to prevail. He should be able to confirm placings with Trippi's Silk, Tres Chic and Augusta Blue and can capitalise on a nice draw.
