Plenty arrive with claims, the most compelling coming in the shape of low-mileage 6-y-o SO SCOTTISH. Representing a very shrewd yard that landed this race 2 years ago with The Shunter, he's been kept fresh since running a fine race when second at Ascot back in November and his revised mark could well underestimate him back up in trip. Midnight River and Datsalrightgino are a couple of likely threats, with Shakem Up'arry and Il Ridoto completing the shortlist.
