RIBCHESTER acts with cut in the ground and was only just beaten in extreme conditions last time out (going stated soft but likely it was heavy). He ought to reverse the form with Here Comes When who isn't without an each-way chance himself. Beat The Bank looks highly progressive and ought to be thereabouts if he takes another step forward while Thunder Snow and Al Wukair hold a similar form line and may be capable of running into a place. Dual 2,000 Guineas winner Churchill can't be ruled out but there's a suspicion the ground has gone against him here.
- Ribchester
- Beat The Bank
- Al Wukair
