9/1
Latest win came over C&D and handles undulating tracks well having also won at Brighton and Lingfield in the past. 1lb above his last winning mark after a trio of moderate efforts this campaign but handles fast ground and not ruled out.

7/2
Three-time C&D winner who won this race last year. 5lb lower for this year's renewal and running well in defeat so far this campaign, including when fourth of 12 at York last time out. Should run well.

10/3
Still a maiden after 11 Flat starts and while not beaten far at Windsor last time, his better efforts have come on more conventional tracks. 2lb rise for his latest effort won't help his cause and others hold stronger claims.

Highly progressive throughout last season, winning four times in the summer. Holding his form well this year since his win at Hamilton in May but there's a suspicion he might want a bit more cut in the ground than what he gets here.

Took advantage of being down to a new low mark when winning at Chepstow over this trip in May but not in the same form at Goodwood last time when stepped back up to 2m. This looks like his trip and he's on a workable mark.

7/2
Course winner who returned to form last time out and is well-handicapped on old form. Optimum trip probably a bit further and not the most consistent sort so no guarantee he will back that run up but has obvious claims if he can.

Unplaced on all four starts on turf and well beaten last on fast ground at Bath last time. Has a bit to prove at present.

TAPIS LIBRE won this race last year and looks capable of running well again now returning off a lower mark. River Dart isn't ruled out back at a more suitable trip while Ravenous is another course winner who returned to form last time out.
