Selected odds by:
Picked up three races in France in 2015 and has been hurdling for Willie Mullins more recently. Has not looked the heartiest of battlers and best watched on debut for new trainer.
Given a fine tactical ride to score over C&D a month ago. Up 5lb for that and this looks a better race.
Form has dipped significantly and would be considered well-handicapped if recent form offered any encouragement. This is a track that brings out the best in him but he remains risky and probably wants further.
Can be hard to settle and needs a decent pace. Easy winner at Lingfield (1m2f) in May and went close over C&D subsequently. Not disgraced over a mile last time and the presence of Ravenous should grant him the gallop he needs.
Has won here but best performances have come at Chelmsford. One of several hold up performers in this who will be relying on Ravenous to set the race up for them.
Looked much more like the horse we saw on debut when a fast finishing third at Windsor in August. That form is nothing special and a 3lb rise makes this tougher. The longer trip will help and stable continue in excellent form (12-39 last two weeks).
Overcame greenness to win his first two races. A significantly higher mark, a drop in trip and shortage of daylight conspired to deny his hat-trick bid at Goodwood. A four month break suggests there may have been other factors too.
Career record of 3-41 and yet to make the frame on AW tracks. Provides the likely pace angle but hard to fancy off a mark still 3lb above that for his last victory 16 months ago.
Comfortably held Enjaaz at Chelmsford and there is the likelihood of even better to come. Looks one who should make into a decent handicapper and could give trainer an overdue change of luck.
Won a poor race over C&D in March but has put in some creditable efforts since including back here a month ago. Weighted to go close and jockey booking is a positive.
Looks held by Airway on Chelmsford running and has since made hard work of defeating an uncooperative rival there next time.
Landed his maiden at Windsor under a positive ride and almost made similar tactics pay off in a handicap at the same venue. Held up when a strong finishing third at Newbury when upped to 1m2f last time. Up in trip and tackling a new surface.

Forecasts
Seniority (7/2), Eldritch (7/2), Royal Reserve (9/2), Airway (6/1), Ennjaaz (15/2), Rumpole (14/1), Artful Rogue (14/1), Vogueatti (14/1), Eskendash (16/1), Tom's Rock (16/1), Ravenous (20/1), Graceful James (25/1), Sunblazer (33/1), Herminio (50/1)
A case can be made for many in this with Rumpole taking the eye last time with the style of his finish in a race where the lack of pace would have counted against him. If handling this new trip and surface he would be the one to beat. AIRWAY looks one who will pay to follow and his defeat of Ennjaaz should be confirmed here. He comes from a good family who were late developers and can take this en-route to better things. Seniority hails from a yard who remain in great form and that earns him more respect than the balance of his form. Eldritch may be better than his last run suggests and Vogueatti will find this easier than her last two races.
