Butrinto Capable performer, especially in this grade; better form over shorter.
Calko Below par last time but worth another chance in this company on form shown at Southwell the time before; does have a tricky draw to overcome.
Welody The only course and distance winner in the field; the booking of Jason Weaver catches the eye.
Rashik Best in on official BHB ratings but has a long absence to overcome and may not be as good as once was.
Society King (IRE) Improved effort at Southwell on most recent start; has been temperamental in the past.
Impulsive Air (IRE) Seems to be on the downgrade and is difficult to fancy on recent form.
Dream Carrier (IRE) Still going at the age of 13; first run for some time so probably best watched.
Flashtalkin' Flood Little encouragement from recent efforts; ridden by an inexperienced jockey.
Noble Investment Hard to fancy after a long lay-off; would need to show dramatic improvement.
Utah (IRE) Moderate plater at best.
Kathies Pet On the downgrade and without a win since May 1999.
Carrick Lady (IRE) Well enough treated at the weights but three-year-old's tend to struggle against older rivals at this time of year.
Cantgetyourbreath (IRE) String of duck eggs next to his name is likely to be extended.
