The obvious staring point is Barwell, who will be fancied by many to complete a hat-trick. However, he is up 8lb from last time and it will be surprising if there is not something lurking off a more realistic handicap mark. The one who might fall into that category is ALFARRIS, who is lightly raced, could find this his optimum trip and may improve for first-time cheekpieces. Top weight Redicean is much respected for his new yard, while Solar Cross should be better at this distance after failing to stay 1m5f last time. True Romance looks best of the rest.
