Lively Dessert (IRE) Has won three times this year, stays the trip and acts on the going; not a bad level of form but needs to improve on it to trouble the favourite.
Lord of The Sky Lovely prospect who seems to have put his blood vessel problems behind him this year; aims for the six-timer here and, if on song, will prove very hard to beat.
Fornaught Alliance (IRE) Irish import who holds an each-way chance but needs to improve on his form to trouble the favourite.
Springlea Tower Won at Cartmel but he was the only one to complete; has to improve a lot to take this.
Amber Moss Unproven on soft ground; has won twice over hurdles but little show on chasing efforts.
Forever Grey (IRE) Won a chase at Hexham in May of last year on good ground; all three wins have come on livelier ground; others preferred.
Rebel Son Big step up in trip after being well beaten in two chase starts to date.
Thanks Keith Likes to front run and is pretty consistent at his level but is possibly best at distances short of three miles.
Try A Bluff (IRE) Behind the favourite at Ayr, as was Springlea Tower; no reason, all things being equal, for things to change today.
Son of Sam Winning pointer who has shown enough to suggest he should keep improving; has fallen last two starts.
