Poet Orten (15/8), Royal Favour (2/1), High Season (7/1), Moon Blade (8/1), Diamond Dealer (12/1), Nimble Boy (14/1), Arlan (25/1), Nam Phrik (28/1), Almonaady (28/1), Vocalizer (28/1), Political Truth (33/1), Manea (66/1), Channagide (66/1)
ROYAL FAVOUR showed borderline useful form when third here in the UAE 2000 Guineas in January and, provided he can put his only poor effort behind him last time, Simon & Ed Crisford's colt gets the nod to open his account. Heading up the dangers is Poet Orten, who took another small step forward when fifth in a listed event over C&D 2 weeks ago. Nimble Boy and course winner Moon Blade can fight out third.
