Mister Doon (IRE) Useful performer at this level but may struggle to concede weight all round.
Theatreland (USA) Flattered by proximity to Tathmin at Exeter latest and far from certain to reverse form on revised terms (4lb for three parts).
Punchy (IRE) Consistent type but still looks a shade high in the weights.
Tathmin In excellent heart of late, winning eased down at Exeter earlier in month (now 4lb higher); unexposed over this trip and capable of further progress.
Banjo Hill Has been off the track since narrow Exeter win in May 2000; likely to need the outing off 3lb higher mark.
Red Blazer (NZ) Faces no easy task on return from seven-months absence.
Bigwig (IRE) Well beaten of late and still needs to come down further in the weights.
Blasket Sound (IRE) Has become slightly disappointing and likely to struggle in this company.
Kippanour (USA) Easy winner at Huntingdon in September but now 12lb higher and will find this tougher.
Quickswood (IRE) Out of form.
Red Hare (NZ) Well treated on Fakenham win in June (now 7lb lower) but has been below best of late.
