Sharp Play Down 2lb after finishing down the field at Ascot Heath last time; talented but niggling doubts about his stamina
Lermontov (USA) Tumbled down the weights since his days with Aiden O'Brien; tried at the highest level but now dropped significantly in class.
Optimaite Landed a Class C Conditions event at Folkestone latest; dropped a ton in the handicap and may be able to follow up
Bawsian Has won off higher marks than today; consistent this term but handicapper has taken no chances.
Stallone Progressive last term; best effort for some time last time out; chance if truly staying this trip.
Scheming Under a penalty for his last win over 1m1f at Nottingham; on the upgrade and should go close
Angus-G Not the force he was; in good heart at present and may still be well treated on old form.
McGillycuddy Reeks (IRE) Got her head in front at Thirsk after a succession of near misses; up 7lb for that; others preferred.
Anticles (FR) No form over this trip; hard to fancy here.
