Behrajan (IRE) Ran well last time to finish third to Baracouda and top-class staying hurdler at best; however, difficult task off this weight today.
Crazy Horse (IRE) Superb performance to win at Aintree last time and has had time to recover from race; should get this distance and will take all the beating.
Forest Ivory (NZ) Loves a true test of stamina but may find the pace too fast today.
Hulysse Royal (FR) Has been out of form recently and is unproven over this trip; chances if back to best but plenty to prove.
Juyush (USA) Has been completely out of form for some time and looks best watched again today.
Majestic (IRE) Very consistent performer who will try to make a bold bid from the front; should give a good account of himself and one to consider.
Manx Magic (USA) Has stepped up on previous form recently and will try to make all today; will have a battle for the front and may not get race to suit.
Ballet-K Struggled at Aintree last time and will have to improve to win this competitive race.
Rising Talisker Looks completely out of her depth.
