Echo Brava came up just short at Yarmouth last time having won at Wolverhampton before that. Persepolis is up 7lb for scoring over a mile at Kempton last time and Gaelic Silver won over today's trip at the same track recently. He had LU'S BUDDY back in third on that occasion but the latter is less exposed and can reverse running on better terms today. Ruban is also lightly-raced but is having his first start since 2012.
