Hunting Ground popped up here at 16/1 last time while Croquembouche scored over a shorter trip at Bath recently, though is upped in class.

Solidarity is preferred to the other Godolphin runner Desert Snow after finishing third at Ffos Las while Plutocracy could also figure on his first start since May.
