Lots with chances. AIR COMMANDER remains with better days ahead of him having gone freely when sixth over C&D last time so is fancied to quickly resume winning ways. Handicap-debutants Sharinay and Soldier's Empire both bring a fair bit of potential too and can chase home Aidan O'Brien's Kingman colt in that order. The handily weighted Uncle Albert completes the shortlist.
