Flying Trix (IRE) Poor effort when pulled up last time out but had previously shown smart form and cannot be ruled out; sure to have his supporters.
Garruth (IRE) Stays well and will handle the soft ground; has some good form to his name but his is a further step up in grade, one that might prove a step too far.
Hindiana (FR) Unbeaten in three starts in Britain and took the scalp of Europa last time out; improving fast and looks certain to go close if he stays.
Historic (IRE) Well regarded by connections and on the upgrade; definite each-way possibilities.
Indian Wings (IRE) Outclassed and just making up the numbers.
Legal Lunch (USA) Beaten in Doncaster handicap last time out and doesn't look up to the task.
Skippers Cleuch (IRE) Star northern novice unbeaten in seven career starts; highly talented but not the best of jumpers and will need to be on his game to score here however, sure to give a good account of himself.
Spiritual Dancer (IRE) Placed twice in modest company; not up to this task.
The Sawdust Kid Worcester bumper winner, beaten in three subsequent starts in far lesser company than this; rank outsider.
Valley Henry (IRE) Possibly needed the outing when beaten odds-on favourite last time behind Patriarch but previous form is smart and he must go close if back to his best.
Karowna Rated way below the bet of these and running for an unlikely place at best.
Sister Superior (IRE) Popped up at long odds in handicap compamy last time and that's about her level; this is too tough a task.
Stromness (USA) Has run well all starts so far in England and looks a good prospect; closely matched with Valley Henry on a line through Patriarch and open to further improvement; interesting.
Never Wonder (IRE) No show on only start; outclassed.
Wishbone (IRE) Cchaser in the making who was beaten out of sight on only start in this grade; of limited appeal.
