C&D winner last time out who goes up 5lb as a result. Raced keenly that and could be able to take the required step forward if overcoming that, especially as he goes from the lowest draw of all.
C&D winner two starts ago but struggled with a 6lb higher mark at Yarmouth last time and seems likely to do so again off an unchanged figure, despite his previous excellent performance here.
Ran his best race since switching to his current trainer two starts ago over shorter, before slightly disappointing last time over the same trip. Won on his only previous attempt at this distance, so the step up in encouraging, but could still prove a little too high in the handicap.
C&D winner two starts ago when beating Outlaw Torn by over 10L. Worse off in the weights with that reopposing rival now but has been running well in general and could be in the mix for at least a place.
Ran a great race to finish a narrow second at Newcastle last time and remains on the same mark now. Has run well over this C&D in the past and is only 3lb above his most recent winning mark (which also came at this course).
Beaten favourite at Brighton last time out and is now dropped a useful 2lb. No win since June 2014 but that was still a solid start for his new trainer and there could be more to come.
0/21 in his career having been tried over a wide variety of trips, and has had none of his best performances come on this surface. Looks an unlikely candidate yet again.
Never figured on his return after a break of almost two years at Newcastle last time. May have needed the run but regardless a huge step forward is needed here.

Lord Murphy (2/1), Muthraab Aldaar (3/1), Kafeel (7/2), Caribbean Spring (8/1), Outlaw Torn (8/1), Grey Destiny (10/1), The Dukkerer (12/1), Fitzwilliam (14/1), Crossley (200/1)
GREY DESTINY ran a great race at Newcastle last time out and he returns to a racecourse today off the same mark over a C&D he has form over. He is only narrowly above his last winning mark and everything looks set for a big run, especially if he can build on that Newcastle performance. He will have to overcome the in-form Lord Murphy, who seeks to defy a 5lb rise in the weights for a C&D victory last time out but has the lowest draw to help, while The Dukkerer has also been running well recently and should be capable of putting in another big run.
