Virtuous Circle Goes well fresh and made light of an 18lb rise in the ratings to dispose of a moderate field at Market Rasen in March; more on here but may well be able to take the sting out of a few of these if allowed an uncontested lead.
Suntas (IRE) May find this trip a little on the sharp side and others preferred.
Impertio Got his act together at Perth in April where the blinkers had the desired effect but he has not been the most reliable of performers without the headgear applied.
Harlov (FR) He may not be the most straightforward of characters and is best left alone on his first run since February.
Palisander (IRE) May need the run after being away from the action since last August but he is capable of taking Virtuous Circle on for the lead if he is fully wound up. Goes well with some juice in the ground also. One to consider.
King Bavard (IRE) In and out performer who cannot be relied on to put his best foot forward.
Emperor's Magic (IRE) He has been reported as being hard to keep sound but his only win so-far did come at this course. Place claims have to be his most realistic claim here though.
All Trix (IRE) Hard to make a strong case for and is best left alone.
