Changes rider since being well held last time in seventh over 2100m in the G2 Dante Stakes at York. Capable of a lot more.

Consistent Lope De Vega gelding who returned with a solid third in the London Gold Cup. Shaped as though this longer trip would suit and represents a yard with a strong recent record in the race. One of the main contenders.

Sea The Stars colt who built on two runner-up efforts when winning over 2400m at Leopardstown. Still unexposed and already proven at the trip. Wide draw is the concern. One of the better chances.

Won his first two starts before finishing fifth in Listed company at Longchamp. Proven at 2400m and on quicker ground but his opening mark asks a question. Will need to do more.

Improved sharply once blinkers were fitted winning at Southwell and Doncaster before a fair sixth in the London Gold Cup. Return to 2400m looks a positive. Sure to be thereabouts.

Maiden after four starts but has useful placed form including when second over an extended 2400m at Chester. First-time tongue-tie goes on and the low draw helps. Looks one of the major contenders.

Won her first two juvenile starts but has not built on that since despite a good Doncaster second on return. Needs to improve after two lesser efforts. Unlikely to feature.

Ghaiyyath colt who got off the mark at Cork over 2100m after two placed efforts. Still has scope now handicapping and the longer trip should be within range. Worth including.

Debut winner who has run with credit in defeat this season including when second in conditions company at Roscommon. Steps up to 2400m for the first time. One to keep in mind.

Sea The Stars colt who won a Cork maiden on return after two juvenile placed efforts. Ryan Moore is booked and the profile suggests further improvement is likely. Back in good order and is a definite top-three hope.

Frankel filly who improved to win over 2400m at Dundalk in a hood. Lightly raced and gets in from a fair mark. Fit and a genuine chance again.

Dubawi colt who has finished first or second on all three starts and was only narrowly denied by Lost Boys at Sandown. That form has been boosted since. Capable of much better now advancing in distance.

Camelot colt who won a Newmarket novice over 1600m last season before finishing sixth in Listed company on return. Tackles a much longer trip. Expecting him to kick on now.

Still a maiden but has finished second on each of his last four starts including at Ascot in cheekpieces. Step up to 2400m may help. Must be included.

Gained a deserved first success in a Navan maiden after several solid efforts. Low draw and Colin Keane are positives. Fitter but needs to do more.

Progressive Study Of Man colt who has won his last three most recently over 2400m at York. Proven at the trip and still improving. Not to be underestimated.

Dubawi colt who got off the mark in a Newbury maiden after two placed efforts. The form looks useful and a mark of 85 could underestimate him. Rates highly and sure to play a big role.

Teofilo gelding with three wins from six starts and a strong record at 2400m. Needs to show he can carry recent all-weather progress back to turf. Harder here so prefer others.

Ghaiyyath colt who has shaped with promise in novice and maiden company without winning. Not far away last time but happy enough to avoid.

Consistent type much improved by two runs back from a break. Last start scored by 4.5 lengths over 2400m at Beverley. Won't find this easy.

Resumed from a spell last start and picked up where he left off, scoring over 2400m at Lingfield All Weather. Harder here and may struggle.

Handy stayer fitter for two runs back, the latest when win over 2000m at Haydock Park. Fitter for recent starts but may need more time.
