The really interesting one is ALPHONSE LE GRANDE, who was a major eye-catcher on his handicap debut in this sphere at this course in February when staying on strongly under minimal assistance from the saddle (rider and horse both subsequently picked up bans under the non-triers' rule). He will benefit from stronger handling here and is open to any amount of improvement. Crafty Gael is second choice ahead of Skip Mahler.
