Simlet Won well at Perth last time, with tongue-strap fitted; should go close today.
Bay Magic (IRE) Was a good second at Hexham in May; good jockey booking and is a serious contender.
Rebel Son An improving sort, who won with plenty in hand at Perth last time; has a very good chance today.
Shifting Moon Second last time out, beaten a head by Ballistic Boy; possible place chances.
Rushen Raider A decent second here over this trip in July; subsequently ran over 3m3f and finished fourth; should appreciate the drop back in trip.
Cootehill Boy (IRE) C&D winner last year; recent form disappointing and makes less appeal than others here.
Arthurs Kingdom (IRE) Won last time out at Cartmel on good to soft ground; would have to find a bit on form to date to win here.
Cool Miner (IRE) Second on this track over this distance in July last year; subsequent poor run on heavy ground best ignored; probably best watched today.
Mazeed (IRE) Won at Stratford in July over 2m 3f and raised 5lb for that effort; last two runs very poor and on that form others preferred.
Minusla Two previous starts here over 3m 3f were moderate efforts; dropped back in trip today, but others preferred.
Mattkar (NZ) Best watched on return to the racecourse after a year off; second at Newton Abbot on his last outing; best watched.
