Turbine would have to be considered if recovered from his exertions at Gowran on Friday, where he finished third in a maiden hurdle, as he's been in excellent form and his third in the Irish Cambridgeshire puts him bang in the picture. The lightly-raced Onlyhuman was caught close home by Dream Walker on testing ground at Galway and the pair of them have the form to get competitive here, though the former would do well to win from his outside berth. Alcatraz doesn't win often but is back on the same mark as when successful at the Curragh in June though BAND OF OUTLAWS can take this. He also won at the Curragh in the summer and though that was on fast ground his head defeat at Listowel last month came on very testing going. Prosecution took an age to get off the mark but finally did so on heavy going at Listowel and a 6lb rise shouldn't prevent another big run.
