Running de Cerisy (FR) Still not badly treated on earlier chase form and will be all the better for a recent win over hurdles.
Potter's Bay (IRE) Faster ground in his favour but has never won over two miles.
Silken Thomas Well behind a useful sort on chase debut at Exeter recently.
Robins Pride (IRE) Absence to overcome and prone to the odd lapse anyway.
Shah (IRE) Needed first run in over a year and might just sneak into a place if last win was no fluke.
Gin N Ice (IRE) Sole victory came in Irish maiden two years ago; shown nothing since.
Blazing Storm (IRE) Well weighted on past form and back to a more suitable trip; still likely to struggle against principals though.
Frank Knows Winner of a weak race last season and a bit one-paced.
Arctic Spirit Only had the one start over fences and hard to fancy on past ability.
