Decent second over C&D in May and went even closer when failing by a whisker over 5f at Thirsk last time. Top rated on BHA figures and sets the standard.
Yard 1-4 here with previous 3yo runners so is entitled to respect on that alone. Broke slowly over 7f on debut at Leicester last time before staying-on into fifth. May do better if jumping off on terms this time.
Yet to score in seven attempts but shaped with promise on seasonal return when staying on well over stiff 5f in Beverely handicap last time, finishing fourth of 12. Should be thereabouts with extra furlong to help.
Looked headstrong on debut at Haydock earlier this month where pulled hard before getting tired and dropping out to finish a long last. May need more time and looks to face a stiff task.
£150,000 Heeraat colt whose dam was a 5f winner. Bred for speed and went close on second start last term at Kempton on 6f novice event. Creditable second in first-time tongue-tie at Doncaster latest and another bold show looks on cards.
Seven-race ex-Irish maiden makes his debut in Britain for new connections. Not easy to asses but had his chances last term and failed to deliver so may need a run or two to acclimatise.
10-race maiden who has yet to reach a place and is badly in on these terms. Hard to see him making much impact despite application of first-time visor.
Heeraat filly out of dam who won seven sprint races. Makes her raceourse bow and will probably benefit from the experience unless market signals suggest she's expected to excel.
500,000 guineas Exceed And Excel filly, half-sister to smart Beat The Bank. Shaped with some promise on Wolverhampton debut in May but was disappointing when a six-length second at Bath last time to 70-rated rival. Respected, but no good thing.
Captain Gerrard filly whose dam won over both 5f and 6f. First career start and yard not known for having them fully wound up for racecourse bow, so others are preferred.
Newcomer by Mayson out of dam who was placed at up to 1m4f. Doesn't jump off the page on pedigree at this trip and will likely improve for the experience. Yard continuing to fire home a regular stream of winners.

Abate (5/4), Vandella (5/2), Molaaheth (4/1), Attorney General (11/2), Chil Chil (11/2), Raksha (8/1), Baldwin (17/2), Kodiak Attack (10/1), Springwood Drive (25/1), Key Choice (33/1), Rangefield Express (40/1), Friday Fizz (50/1), Bluetta (66/1), Gorgeous Gobolina (100/1), Slieve Donard (150/1)
Chil Chil will be a popular choice given connections and her hefty price tag, but on what she has achieved thus far she needs to improve to win. Vandella is fascianting on first start for a new yard having shown plenty of promise on both starts for John Gosden. Her pedigree suggest she may be suited by the drop in trip. MOLAAHETH and Abate may be the two to concentrate on, with the former narrowly preferred having done well last time on his first turf start. Abate should be on the premises having failed by a whisker recently in a similar event. Attorney General and newcomer Friday Fizz are also worth noting for any positive market moves.
