Blasket Sound (IRE) Winning chaser who has reverted to hurdling this year; his second to McHattie last time reads well and he has been dropped 10 lbs since the start of the season.
Ballygriffin Lad (IRE) Raised 14 lbs for his Towcester win almost a year ago; trip and ground no problem but could need this.
Ela Agapi Mou (USA) Raised just a pound for his second to Lightning Star last time; that's not exceptional form but he has dropped in the weights of late; pulled up behind Blasket Sound the time before.
Charlie Charlie Often finds one or two too good but keeps trying; his form is at or around plating class; has run well here over course and distance.
Coastguard (IRE) Showed improved form in fist-time blinkers last time and has only been raised a pound; he has scope; provided he runs to that form again, can't be ruled out.
Not Forgotten (USA) Lightly-raced in recent times; hasn't raced for 118 days and would have to improve a good deal on that effort to play a part here.
