Butrinto Put in much improved performance last time in a claimer; this is a little tougher but the manner of that victory suggests better is to come; the one to beat.
Rimatara Disappointing favourite last time over 7f; stays this trip well and could be given another chance here.
Wind Chime (IRE) Slipping nicely down the weights and is suited by today's conditions; fair third last time and could step up on that.
Sharp Shuffle (IRE) Has won on much higher mark than this and will be suited by conditions; usually needs a couple of runs to sharpen him up.
Denbrae (IRE) Yet to prove he truly stays this trip but has some good recent runs behind him; place possibilities.
Colombe d'Or Not one to trust implicity; won over a mile last time but this is tougher and others are preferred.
Never Can Tell Winning hurdler but still a maiden on the Flat; fit from jumping but may struggle to get competitive today.
Lou's Wish Doesn't seem the type who will go well in an amateur race and is best avoided.
Kinnino Tends to save his best for these amateur events and should go well.
Jade Tiger Not one to put too much faith in especially after two poor runs this term.
Biya (IRE) Has been hurdling and chasing; has some creditable AW performances behind him but is probably best watched in this event.
Count Frederick Poor maiden at best; needed run last time but not one to rely on.
Jenko (IRE) Well held by Colombe d'Or on recent run and is not worth backing here.
