Ranville ran up a five-timer last year but is nine pounds higher than for the last of those wins. Cupboard Lover has been raised ten pounds for his Newbury win but should still run well. Thurles maiden winner Domenico is well bred and could well run well with Mick Kinane booked (he also took the ride on the horse at Royal Ascot). Prairie Falcon ought to be able to win from his present mark. Lord Jim is ten pounds lower than for his last win and the easy ground might help his fragile legs. Caqui d'Or is four pounds higher than for his Haydock win but will appreciate give in the ground. Coco Loco ran up a sequence two years ago but the handicapper has been slow to relent with her mark. Carlys Quest has been absent for over a year.
