Free Winner at Cartmel last time out with top weight. Very capable horse with a tally of wins over the sticks and on the flat; will be the one to beat if he shows willing.
Divet Hill Back to back wins most recent (C&D latest). Has not been out the placings in his last six starts. Would have strong chances today.
Weaver George (IRE) Beat Heidi a head at Newcastle last November. Has failed to reproduce that form and unlikely to win today.
Kings Minstral (IRE) Has not run since 1999 and running 13lbs out the handicap; others preferred.
