Tailed off on both his last two starts and hard to fancy on that basis but on a very nice handicap mark if he can bounce back in first-time tongue-tie.
Wants rattling fast ground to be seen at his best and probably won't get that here. Ran okay last time out but still well above his last winning mark.
Has won once in nine turf starts and running okay in defeat lately. May need some relief from the handicapper to be getting his head back in front but has place claims.
A six-time winner but all his success has been on AW and has 11 starts without a win to his name on turf. Well beaten on return at the Curragh and hard to fancy on that basis.
Has won just once in 20 starts and that came in a maiden at Chepstow back in 2016. signs of a return to form lately so not ruled out for a place at least.
Relatively consistent when trained in England but he's not got his head in front since his switch to these shores and well beaten on his last few runs. Wears first-time blinkers.
Yet to win in four starts but has given some signs she may be capable of getting her head in front at some stage. Potential improver not ruled out.
A winner at Dundalk two starts back but very inconsistent and hard to fancy having won just once in 17 turf outings.
Really struggling in recent times and not won since all the way back in 2014. Looks a little long in the tooth now.
Still a maiden after eight starts and has a tendency to start slowly, as seen in three of his last four runs. Did show some promise earlier in his career so perhaps not one to write off just yet.
Still a maiden after eight starts but has been running well in defeat in recent times. Interesting runner if she can improve a little.
20 starts without a win on turf and losing run away from the AW stretches back to 2014. Minor promise last time out but others make more appeal.
Still a maiden after 10 starts but produced his best effort yet at Cork last time. Needs to build on that now.
First Reserve: Not won since 2016 when a winner at Newcastle. Produced an improved effort last time and very well-handicapped on old form.

Bien Chase (11/2), Time Stands Still (6/1), Diable d'Or (6/1), Arbourfield (7/1), Fastidious (7/1), Avalanche (8/1), Rimshot (10/1), Evies Wish (12/1), Mcguigan (12/1), Dance Alone (14/1), Aubineau (14/1), Jackmel (14/1), Reddot Express (14/1), Oakledge (20/1), Master Bond (25/1), King Torus (33/1), Cairdiuil (33/1)
KING TORUS is the tentative selection in a wide open renewal of this. He's very well-handicapped on old form and in the hope the first-time tongue-tie sparks a revival, he's taken to get the better of Aubineau who is lightly raced and Bien Chase who has been in good form lately.
- King Torus
- Aubineau
