Duck Row (USA) Undoubtedly the class horse of the race having taken on all comers a few years ago at the top level; wouldn't be inconvenienced by a drop more rain.
Katy Nowaitee This has been the long term aim but worrying that the ante-post money has dried up.
Albuhera (IRE) Cannot be written off and certainly is progressive enough to win this.
Persiano Has had a good season but there has to be a question mark about this trip.
Reef Diver Unexposed and Pat Eddery an interesting booking.
Big Future Has looked a doubtful stayer over a mile and cannot be fancied to get the trip here.
Pantar (IRE) Unlucky in running latest but invariably finds one or two too good.
Bomb Alaska Ninth last year but difficult to fancy on this year's efforts.
Blue Sugar (USA) Should get the trip but has been found wanting against the best handicappers.
Nadour Al Bahr (IRE) Dropped markedly in trip here; well drawn but opposed.
Alphaeus Well backed ante-post but the recent vibes from the yard have not been that great.
Bourgainville Would have a chance on a five length beating by Askham; lively outsider.
Vintage Premium Should get the cover he needs from this draw but does he truly stay this far off a fast pace.
Putra Pekan Looks to have been campaigned with this in mind but hasn't got a great record at the track.
Smirk Has seen plenty of money in recent days; question mark about trip and not one to take at such short odds.
Optimaite Has looked a very tricky ride in the past and opposed over this trip.
Halland Well backed in recent days and well drawn; must be in with a big shout from this draw.
Celebration Town (IRE) Probably wouldn't be good enough to win this.
I Cried For You (IRE) Second in the Tote Trifecta but a doubtful stayer over this trip.
Soft Breeze Well beaten by Albuhera latest and unlikely to reverse it from this draw
Elmhurst Boy Able in his grade but this isn't it.
Digital Has produced little evidence of being able to stay a mile let alone 1m1f.
Champion Lodge (IRE) Not shown too much this year and passed over today.
Port Moresby (IRE) Has had a few wins this year but these have been in significantly lower class.
Chem's Truce (IRE) Any market move would be highly significant.
True Night Progressive handicapper who would probably need it softer to win here.
Kuster An interesting runner but a slight concern that the blinkers are left off today.
Kirovski (IRE) Looks laid out for this but will need to be closer up to the pace than normal if having any chance of winning.
Thihn (IRE) Caught the eye when a staying on fifth to Hail the Chief latest; chances if staying.
Faithful Warrior (USA) Impressed with his attitude at Chester but this trip is the longest he's ever faced
Salty Jack (IRE) Regular in big handicaps but opposed here.
Transatlantic (USA) Lightly weighted and looks a possible here on the book having beat Red Carnation by 5l latest.
Hail The Chief Destroyed a class field at Ascot last week but will he get his own way today?
Prince of My Heart Asking a lot for this old campaigner to win here.
Sea Mark Hard to fancy.
