2/1
Has raced in a couple of strong handicaps (including the Old Newton Cup last time) since back-to-back wins in Class 4 company. Returned to form when 1L fourth of 9 to Everything For You at Ripon last time, and is one to consider back down in class.

20/1
Inauspicious start to life for new stable, pulling up in Chester Cup on seasonal reappearance before 13th in Northumberland Plate. Ran badly at Ascot last time, and hard to support.

11/4
Unexposed handicapper who shaped well when fourth over inadequate 1¼m here on his return before winning at Chester (1m3½f) last time. More to come, but needs fast ground, so will want the forecast rain to hold off.

5/1
Gained second career success latest when absolutely hacking up by 7L in his first try at 2m at Kempton last August, and matched that form when third at Ascot in October. Absent since, but can't be ignored, and yard's runners rarely lack for fitness.

9/2
Highly tried after a winning return in 2018, and off for 11 months before an encouraging 1½L fourth of 6 to King's Advice on handicap at Goodwood last time. May yet do better, and been given time to recover from that reappearance effort.

8/1
Won at York last year, but is increasingly hard to catch right, and while he wasn't disgraced when eighth of 17 to King's Advice in Bet365 Trophy over C&D last time, he's easy enough to oppose for win purposes.

Lightly raced and improved for the first time hood when returning from an absence to win on soft ground at this trip at Yarmouth in June. Ran poorly next time, however, and the headgear is dispensed with now. Stiff task from out of handicap.

Forecasts

Charles Kingsley (2/1), Infrastructure (11/4), Matchmaking (4/1), Sovereign Duke (9/2), African Jazz (5/1), Manjaam (8/1), Imperial Court (20/1), Shabeeb (20/1)

Verdict

The weather will play a big part, and if the rain stays away, INFRASTRUCTURE would hold an outstanding chance after his Chester win, and he's still on a lenient mark. Charles Kingsley drops in class and looks a danger, while Sovereign Duke and African Jazz are likely to get involved as well.
