Easily beaten at his last run before spelling and didn't fare any better when resuming over 2400m at Haydock Park two-and-a-half weeks ago, beaten 7 lengths into tenth. Prefer in something easier.

Last appeared four-and-a-half months ago when he finished 17 lengths from the winner in ninth over 2410m at Meydan. Did finish in the money first-up last prep at Meydan over 2000m. Not good enough for these.

Well held last start when fifth over 3218m at Down Royal to continue a run of plain efforts. Struggling to make an impact lately and others appeal more.

Consistent type much improved by two runs back from a break. Last start scored by 3.5 lengths over 3319m at Ballinrobe. Fitter but others look better placed.

Has now had two runs from a spell and shooting for his first win in two-and-a-half years. Easily accounted for last start when eighth over 2112m at Curragh. Unreliable and needs to do more.

Last appeared ten weeks ago when he finished 33 lengths from the winner in fourth over 2800m at Nottingham. Managed to fill a minor placing first-up last prep at Kempton Park All Weather over 2200m. Prepared to watch.

Handy entire who is racing well, including a win last start over 2800m at Goodwood. Talented type who is expected to run well again.

Yet to fill a placing in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest effort a fourth over 2816m at Navan seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Likely to find this out of reach.

Returns to racing after a break of three-and-a-half months. Opened last prep with a win at Naas over 3218m. Goes well first-up. Should be in the finish.

Handy gelding who raced close to the speed and returned to winning ways over 2400m at Newmarket (Rowley) last time out. Going well and rates highly.

Looked to be close to a win but ran below par last time when seventh and beaten 6 lengths at Goodwood. Previous form sound but needs to do more.

Consistent four-year-old gelding who added to his impressive record last start when successful over 3250m at Haydock Park. Finds a nice race and is one of the major players.

Lines up for the first time since April 3. Closed the last campaign in lukewarm fashion, with a eighth over 3180m at Aintree the latest offering. Others make more appeal.

Has not raced since finishing 7 lengths away in fourth over 2220m at Southwell All Weather on February 22. Has claims on best form.

Goes well at this trip with multiple top-three finishes. Got the prize last time out by 12 lengths over 3721m at Ballinrobe. Well placed here. Great chance to score.

Resumed at Curragh over 2011m last time out and finished 14th, beaten 6 lengths. Strips fitter and should be in the mix.

Well held last start when friendless in betting over 3200m at Sandown Park. Not among the chances.

Returns to racing after a spell of three-and-a-half months. Opened last prep with a pulled up at Cheltenham over 3400m. Shapes as a leading contender.

Scored at Southwell All Weather over 2400m two starts back in a similar race to this. Followed up with a seventh last time over 2800m at York. Will get back in the run and need a bit of luck.
