5/2

25/1, could never get competitive when 5¾ lengths sixth of 8 to Hurricane Ivor in World Trophy at Newbury (5.2f, good) 23 days ago. This more suitable (won this last year) so not dismissed.

4/1

A few in with claims but ROULSTON SCAR arrives chasing a hat-trick having been well placed by connections. He's only had a handful of starts this term and Simon & Ed Crisford's smart sprinter looks the one to be on here. El Astronaute isn't getting any younger but he's feared most back at this bare 5f, ahead of the 2019 winner of this contest Tarboosh.
