Average effort on last start when tenth over 2000m at Epsom Downs on latest appearance. Better than that effort and can improve sharply.

Finished sixth over 3922m at Punchestown seven weeks ago. Warrants serious consideration representing Willie Mullins. Capable of sharp improvement now back on the flat.

Last appeared eight months ago when he finished comprehensively defeated over 3600m at Newmarket. Can run a good race despite the gap between outings.

Hasn't raced since finishing ninth in this contest last year. Willie Mullins boasts a strong record in the race. Ryan Moore's engagement is a further positive. Great chance.

Fitter for two runs from a break but hasn’t done a lot this campaign. Last start beaten 25L into sixth over 3300m at Newbury. Hard to recommend.

Last appeared when he finished third over 4828m at Kilbeggan. Irish-trained runners from National Hunt yards hold a strong record in this contest. Has the right credentials.

Stepping up in trip after finishing fourth over 3700m at Chester last time out. Finds a suitable race this time and is right in contention.

Aiming for his first win in nearly two years. Easily accounted for last start when pulled up over 2414m at Cork. Prepared to risk.

Modest effort first up from a spell on last start. Finished fifth over 2400m at this track. Faces a tough task.

Yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell. Likely to find this out of reach.

Entire who returned to the winners' enclosure last start over 3200m at Goodwood. In form and is a solid top-three hope.

Last seen recording a second over 3319m at Listowel. Steps out over this trip for the first time but should strip fitter. Can measure up with the right run.

Last appeared when he scored over 2816m at the Curragh in late May. Holds claims pending market support. Best form should see him measure right up.

Resumed from a spell with a 12L second over 3218m at Ballinrobe on last start. Harder here though and is unlikely to threaten.

Returned from a break over 4023m at Killarney last start and finished seventh. Not likely.

Ran a solid trial for this when seventh over 3700m at Chester five-and-a-half weeks ago. Capable of sharp improvement.

Hasn't raced since finishing fourth in a G2 hurdle over 3200m at Ayr. Best form is over the jumps and looks safely held.

Intriguing French raider debuting for a new yard. Finished 13th over 3000m at Longchamp seven-and-a-half weeks ago. Prefer to see him back in form.

Registered a win on last start over 1609m at Listowel. Represents a yard with previous success in this contest. Happy to risk this time.

Last appeared when he scored over 2816m at Killarney in May. Prefer to watch at this stage.
