Failed To Hit Won more than his share here but major worries about a long layoff and this extended trip.
Semper Sursum Nothing to recommend on hurdles form.
Yalail (IRE) Moderate maiden
Alsahib (USA) A regular in this sort of contest but invariably finds one or two too good.
Danka Hard to fancy; one to say Nein to.
Spirit of Love (USA) Once top class but has really become sour since leaving Mark Johnston; officially the best here but not one have the mortgage on.
Port of Call (IRE) Never been over this sort of trip on the level and easy to oppose here.
Nautical Star Once useful but now on the downgrade; ran a fair effort on reappearance; a bit to find on official ratings.
Mu-Tadil Rated at just 16 by the BHB Handicapper.
Cilantro Rated 20 by the handicapper and has no obvious chance.
Durham Once useful stayer but very much on the downgrade these days.
Rise Above (IRE) Plating class over the sticks and opposed here.
