Swallow Flight (IRE) As tough as they come; suited by any ground and loves a mile; has the quality to win this and the only negative is whether he truly acts at this track.
Malhub (USA) Last two runs confirmed his as a class act; lightly-raced enough to step up on this though has never raced on ground softer than good.
Priors Lodge (IRE) Has shown some quality this season but looks a little out of his depth and step up in trip is a worry.
Lincoln Dancer (IRE) Step up in trip is a slight concern but his trainer should know if he will stay; handles a soft surface but best watched on this occasion.
Aldebaran (USA) Has been running well in defeat all season; slightly below par over 10f last time and should appreciate the return to a mile; possibly not at his best on a soft surface.
Askham (USA) Consistent over a variety of trips of late but will need to show improved form to challenge for top honours here.
Beckett (IRE) Decent reappearance run in Listed event gives powerful stable live chance but still might not be good enough here.
Divine Task (USA) Two runs this season did not suggest the ability to win this type of race but stable going well and has obvious chance.
Father Thames Handicap win at Goodwood last time out was smart effort and any reproduction of that run would see him going close here.
Aunty Rose (IRE) Disappointed last time on rain-softened ground but had previously put in some decent runs; might not be good enough.
Palatial Good effort here last time out over 7f but overall level of form could see her struggle but decent field.
Patrivalor (USA) Has shown little ability of late and looks like a pacemaker - should win at 33/1 !
