City Bank Dudley Ran over 10f on last start last year; kept busy during the year without showing too much; this trip is not an obvious one for him
Westfield Star (IRE) Irish import who even tried hurdles over there last year; placed over 6f and 7f on last two starts, both at Southwell and has to come into the reckoning here
Dispol Chieftan Sprint bred and best effort last year came in a tonguestrap, which he doesn’t have on today
Harry Bennett Debut for this Mind Games gelding who is not quite 3yo yet
Stiletto (IRE) Foaled towards the end of May so this Danehill colt is two months shy of his third birthday; Jeremy Noseda’s few winter runners have mainly gone well; didn’t show much on his debut earlier this month
Ticker Showed promise in two starts last year and normal progression gives him a chance of winning a race or two this year; the counter argument is that he’s a late foal (May), wasn’t seen after June 2 last year and his dam stayed 12f; his sire was fast but this trip may ultimately prove too sharp for him
Bouchra (IRE) Inchinor filly who seemed to appreciate 7f last year; in this company, though, she has to come into the reckoning
Cateel Bay Showed promise over 7f and 8f last year but is very much bred for a lot further than this trip
