More than half of this field are previous course and distance winners including ROYAL BRAVE (NAP). He is 5lb better off than when fourth behind War Whisper at Carlisle last month and drops back to his best trip after a fine run in a Class 2 over 6f at Ripon. Alsvinder rattled up a hat-trick last month and reverts to Turf after two runs on Polytrack but is probably due a rest. Longroom arrives off the back of a win at Ayr but was beaten by the selection here in May and is 3lb worse off. Machree, Computable and Economic Crisis would all have claims on their best form but Kinloch Pride has gone up 5lb for winning a Class 6 at Catterick and looks held on earlier form.
