Crazy Horse (IRE) Hasn't won for two years and looks to have plenty of weight for what he's achieved so far this term; tough task.
Nigel's Lad (IRE) Probably found the three miles beyond him last time but had previously showed good form; each-way contender.
Hulysse Royal (FR) Has five lenghts to find with Solo Mio on their running last time and balance of form suggests he may struggle.
Kates Charm (IRE) Another to be held by Solo Mio on recent running and looks weighted up to the hilt.
Polar Prospect Stayed on well over two miles last time and the trip and ground today should suit; not without a hope in a hot handicap.
Brandon Court (IRE) Out of form of late(including A/W) and hard to get excited about.
Vent d'Aout (IRE) Sloppy jumper and likely to be found out by a strong pace today - others make more appeal.
Red Guard Steps up in trip after midfield effort in the Tote Gold Trophy and not sure to be suited by conditions; tough task.
Doctor Goddard Looks to need more respite from the handicapper and can expect a place at best today.
Golden Goal (GER) Has been crying out for the step upin trip and gets it today; off a fair weight he has good prospects of making the frame.
Ask The Natives (IRE) Out of form of late and is difficult to recommend with any confidence.
Globe Runner Decent in his grade but looks a shade out of his depth in today's company.
Brother Joe (NZ) Stays well and will handle the testing ground; could be one of the more likely outsiders.
Aspirant Dancer Would probably appreciate better ground but has been given a chance by the handicapper; hard to see him figuring in the finish though.
Mazileo Mixes hurdling with chasing but has run well over timber last two starts and gets in here on a good mark; a likely outsider with a serious chance on form.
Prokofiev (USA) Scored at long odds last time but it didn't look a fluke and shrewd connections have a greta record at this meeting; sure to command plenty of support.
Dr Jazz (NZ) Won a handicap hurdle on heavy ground earlier this season and should have same conditions today; off a lightweight is not without hope.
Killerine (FR) Novice chaser who will find things happening a bit too quick for him here.
Solo Mio (IRE) Talented sort but sometime doesn't look the hardiest of battlers; ran a great race last time behind Barracouda and has a leading chance if able to repeat the feat.
Serenus (USA) Has mixed it in good company this term and though another held by Solo Mio on Fontwell running the weights give him a decent chance; sure to be thereabouts at the business end of the race.
Seixo Branco Ran well in the Imperial Cup last time and is on the upgrade; sure to give a good account of himself.
Young Radical (IRE) Best form on top of the ground and unlikely to find conditions to suit today.
Mr Lamb Hasn't lived up to expectations after a bright start to his career but the handicapper is relenting and if he is going to win a decent prize, this could be his best chance of doing so.
Kaiserstolz (GER) Best on fast ground and balance of form looks below the required grade; difficult to see in the shake up today.
