Highbank Consistent performer who should be a leading contender in what are ideal conditions.
Tellion Returns from break since completing hat-trick; should be a leading contender if fully primed.
Reggie Buck (USA) Has been running in better races than this and could prove hard to beat in this easier contest.

Wilton Open to more improvement that some of his more exposed rivals but may find one or two too good today.
Irish Fashion (USA) Out of form at present but could win this at best; difficult to place too much faith in him today.
