This won't take much winning, so INDIAN SPICE needn't improve a great deal on what he's shown to land the spoils. SAMUEL SHARPE will know more about it after an encouraging debut and subsequent gelding, so he could fight out the finish. GIFT OF ROYAL, JABBERWOCKY and UNDERDOG complete the shortlist.
