Speedfit Free (IRE) Didn't get home over 7f last time and better judged on his previous success; capable if in the mood.
Wonderful Man No fluke about his shock success here last time and despite the fact that the weights are against him, he is far from out of the reckoning.
Bishopstone Man Big chance at the weights and was far from disgraced in most recent outing; likely to go close.
Key To The City (IRE) Ex-Irish handicapper absent for best part of two years and almost certain to need the run.
Misty Boy Best form at 6f and is likely to be in need of the outing today on his seasonal reappearance.
Mobo-Baco First outing of the term and doesn't appeal as one to pop up after an absence.
Pup's Pride Better at 6f and looks to be up against it with some better weighted rivals.
Royal Cascade (IRE) Good run last time when noted staying on well at the finish over shorter trip; could be coming back to his best and is a leading contender.
The Robster (USA) Just manages to get into the contest having fallen down the weights towards the end of last year; has plenty of fair form and stable must always be respected in this grade of event.
Chili Pepper Crying out for a return to this trip after staying well over shorter; stable don't have two many runners these days but are more than capable with the right material.
Kathies Pet Doesn't look good enough on the form he's shown so far.
Lucky Star Won a similar race to this over 8f at Wolverhampton in March and is unlikely to be suited by the step back in trip; tough task.
Napier Star Poor performer who will be outclassed today.
Tirana (IRE) Scored in handicap company last time when a change of tactics seemed to bring about an improvement; if ridden from behind again, could be thereabouts.
Moon Master Not without ability but would be better off in a handicap and may struggle today.
Killarney Jazz Consistent if somewhat one-paced sort who invariably finds a few too good for him.
