1) Kanthaka 3-1

7) Beautiful Shot 6-1
The scratch of Calexman has significantly altered the way this race looks on paper; MCKALE (3) looks like he's as loose on the front as he wants, and that makes him even more dangerous than he already was. If he doesn't find the seven furlong distance too taxing, he's a logical win contender; at his current odds of 1/1 with 11 MTP, he seems like an underlay. At their current prices, I find ZULFIKHAR (4) and BEAUTIFUL SHOT (7) the most appealing, however they each could be a bit pace compromised this afternoon.
