Atavistic (IRE) Tends to run well if managing to finish and recent run at Plumpton was encouraging; one for the shortlist.
Supreme Glory (IRE) Out and out stayer who should enjoy this ground; best effort last season came in the Scottish Grand National; might need the run today however.
Kadou Nonantais (FR) Started to get the hang of things late last season; should improve for this step up in trip and is one to watch with interest.
Satshoon (IRE) Won his last two races of last season but this is a step up in class and looks set to run well without winning.
Nordic Prince (IRE) Yet to prove he stays beyond three miles and is best avoided here.
Menelek Lord (IRE) Fair performer when completing the course (prone to mistakes); pulled up on reappearance and others preferred.
Kinnahalla (IRE) Dour stayer who always gets round; stable form a concern however and is best watched today.
Dads Lad (IRE) Some good efforts last season and ran well on reappearance last season; good chance if handling step up in trip.
Andy's Birthday (IRE) Has run well on occasions but generally needs a run and is passed over here.
Cherokee Boy Would be a hot favourite if ground came in his favour (needs firm); not nearly as good on a softer surface and will find things tough here.
