Red Ark Never a factor when PU at Listowel over 3m. Penultimate start fourth behind Hisar; at these weights others preferred.
Simply Gifted His best form is on soft ground over 2m, a very consistent horse and best watched on his return since April.
Redemption Did not like the heavy ground when well beaten at Sandown latest, back to back wins before that having got his jumping together; one for the short list.
Fullopep Has been keeping fit on the flat. Back to back wins including here over 2m in May, has failed to sparkle over 2m1f, but cannot be ignored.
Major Sponsor (IRE) Best form at Sedgefield summer 2000 with back to back wins, put up 17lbs for his efforts, has since come down again. Some credible efforts recently including when beaten 0.5L by Hisar at Worcester latest; cannot be ignored.
Native King (IRE) Just beaten in his last two starts over longer trip, likely to improve on this good ground today
Gulshan Does not stay 3m, very easy back to back wins in May; should be in the frame.
Turgeonev (FR) His jumping let him down in March at Sandown. Off a decent mark today and best watched for new trainer.
