Selected odds by:
Course winner who has won over this trip third of 14 beaten 1L behind Texas Radio over C&D . Capable of going well again off a similar mark.
Course winner who finished fourth of 14 beaten 1½L adrift of No Approval. Now over three years since he last visited the winners enclosure.
C&D winner in December when leading 13 rivals home to win by 2¼L. Still races off a 8lb higher mark but not one to leave out of calculations.
Winner at 9/1 over C&D earlier this month finishing 3L in front of Texas Radio before a gallant run off a 10lb higher mark last time out not beaten far last month. Capable of another big run.
Solid and consistent in two starts over C&D this year including a ¾L defeat behind Prove The Point before finishing ½L adrift of Texas Radio earlier this month. Another bold show likely.
Disappointing since joining this yard but not beaten far despite finishing 12th of 13 over 1m before disappointing when upped in trip last time out. Hard to construct much of a case here.
Not disgraced but has struggled generally over this C&D. Has work to do here in this company and others preferred.
Back here from two disappointing hurdle starts. Still a maiden after 16 starts and seemingly regressing when with the Denis Hogan yard. Best watched on yet another stable debut.
Promising run earlier this month on third start here last time out 4¾L behind Texas Radio. Looks up against it here.
C&D winner of this contest last season and six-time course winner but has been regressing of late and now finds himself 14lb lower than last winning mark.
Improved over C&D when finishing second of 13 beaten ½L behind Prove The Point before a disappointing run last time out earlier this month when missing the start.
Has produced a number of laboured displays for former yard before showing nothing on stable debut when eighth of 14 here over 6f. Looks opposable.
Improved on a number of gloomy runs here when finishing fourth of 14 beaten 1¾L adrift of Nimitz before another promising display behind Texas Radio earlier this month. Place claims.

Forecasts
War Room (6/1), Military Hill (6/1), Rosenborg Rider (6/1), So Sensible (6/1), Lady Rosebud (13/2), Rummaging (7/1), Kodiac's Back (8/1), Vanderbilt (10/1), Cresendo (10/1), Mostawfee (14/1), Multiviz (14/1), Lydia's Joy (14/1), Alfirak (16/1), Baby Bellini (20/1), Sbraase (25/1), The Lords Walk (25/1), Qasser (33/1)
The change of race-tactics seemed to suit Multiviz last time out and could well take up the running in the early stages here. The likes of Military Hill and Rummaging can be expected to be battling at the business end of the race with preference for the consistent LADY ROSEBUD who has solid figures over C&D.
- Lady Rosebud
- Military Hill
- Rummaging
