Age: 5|  Weight: 9-13| J: S W Kelly| T: R Hughes
8/1
Showed a decent level of form in bumpers and on sole start over hurdles but probably wants further than this trip and doesn't have an obvious AW pedigree.

20/1
Respectable effort on debut when fifth of 12 at the Curragh but off since then (2014) and hard to know what to make of him on return. Market may be the best guide.

100/1
200/1 last of 10 on Flat debut at Southwell and not an obvious AW type. Will need plenty more hear and will likely want further with time.

1/2
May have won his last couple of races if he had broken better from the stalls and that has to be a concern here but sire has a fine record on the AW and the booking of this jockey will help with any inexperience he shows. Will be tough to beat if he gets away well.

Age: 3|  Weight: 8-7| J: T Eaves| T: M Moubarak
50/1
Home bred gelded son of English and Irish 2000 Guineas winner Cockney Rebel. Has shown nothing in two starts though, finishing tailed off last time and likely to need more time.

2/1
Very little shown on debut but much better last time, having the run of the race to some extent and he may improve for the drop back in trip; one of the more interesting ones and market support would be significant.

Swallow Dancer7
Age: 3|  Weight: 8-2| J: Rhiain Ingram(7)| T: H J L Dunlop
20/1
Yet to get involved on either of her two starts and likely to do better in handicaps which she will qualify for after this race.

Forecasts

Enfolding (1/2), Specialist (2/1), Amitie Waltz (8/1), Bosphorus Prince (20/1), Swallow Dancer (20/1), Mister Raffles (50/1), Delphyne (100/1), Running Squaw (150/1)

Verdict

The booking of Silvestre De Sousa aboard ENFOLDING looks significant and he sets a clear form standard. He should be tough to beat if he gets away well. Specialist improved last time and should be thereabouts once again while any market support for Bosphorus Prince would be significant on the back of a large absence.
