2-1 GLOBAL INFLUENCE is unbeaten in his two starts at this course, including a Grade 3 event last time, and he looks difficult to oppose despite stepping up in trip.

4-2 SHAMROCK arrives in sparkling form after making it five wins from as many runs since last October. He remains on an upward curve and is strongly fancied to complete the six-timer today.

Siege Courageous and Imperial Blue for silver and bronze medal.

Course specialist 5-1 A STAR IS BORN has won on four of his five visits to this track and he can further enhance that record in his bid for a hat-trick.

4 EVALDO is one to keep a close eye on after a subsequent absence. PLACE GOOD.

Kolkota has been a happy hunting ground for the Narredus and the Bangalore handler can enjoy more success here courtesy of the progressive Kolkota Oaks/Derby winner 7-1 LONG LEASE, who has an impressive strike-rate at this course winning four out of five starts and is presented with a good opportunity to bolster the positive statistic.

Golden Kingdom and Magneto can chase the selection home to pick up some minor money.
