Duraid (IRE) Suited by conditions and can race off a 4lb lower mark than he did when winning here last year, but has to put some mediocre recent efforts behind him.
Pension Fund Always goes well here and is has won off a similar rating, dangerous to dismiss lightly.
Kala Sunrise Capable on his day but needs to prove his well being after well over a year on the sidelines.
Material Witness (IRE) His form has dipped of late and he may prefer a sharper track, other also look better treated.
Arpeggio He can be given a good chance if repeating his effort when landing a competitive Newmarket Handicap in July, but he is will need to be on the top of his game to do so from a 6lb higher rating.
First Truth Failed to impress on his first outing for a year at Pontefract recently and is best watched.
The Judge Improving with each run but this looks to be a big ask now he has qualified to run in Handicaps.
Monica Geller She has run respectably in good company lately but the balance of form leaves her a little short of the mark.
Champagne Rider Looks to be in the grip of the Handicapper at present and needs to drop a few pounds.
Smooth Sailing On a long losing run and is opposable on the balance of form.
Ballet Master (USA) Yet to really fulfil his potential but cannot be ruled out if running up to the form that saw him finish three and a half lengths behind Foreign Affairs in the John Smith's Cup here in July. Close inspection of the market will be the best indication to his chances.
Donna's Double Another who is capable of a bold show at this track but does not look to well treated at the moment.
Lady Bear (IRE) Returned to form when well supported last time at Ascot, has similar conditions here and she may well go close again. One to monitor in the early exchanges if there is any more rain.
Shaanara (IRE) Interesting runner for this time of year who may have just needed the outing last time. However, she may not be best option for win only purposes in such a competitive heat.
Riverina (USA) Looks to have a stiff task ahead of her but she should learn from the experience.
King Priam (IRE) Surprise winner of a tough looking Handicap at Redcar recently, but although he is well treated at the moment he is too inconsistent to be supported with any real confidence.
Escalade Made hay in lower grade events and has risen 22lb as a result. He should run his race again but this is tougher than his latest engagements.
Supreme Salutation Knocking on the door again lately but he is making a career out of finding one or two too good.
Trouble Mountain (USA) Respected on the best of his form and hails from a stable that likes nothing more than a winner here, one to consider.
Ballyhurry (USA) Fitness has to be taken on trust after being off the track since an appearance in Dubai in February, best watched.
Silk St John Regular in this sort of event and has been given a definite chance by the Handicapper. However his recent form is nothing to write home about and any support would be more in hope than trust.
Typhoon Ginger (IRE) Long standing maiden until recording a couple of wins in quick succession recently. Her last couple of outings have suggested normal service has been resumed and she is more than likely going to have to settle for a minor role.
Rutland Chantry (USA) Likes to run with the pace and is a sulky character if he doesn't get his own way, other preferred this time around.
Kingsdon (IRE) Not the most consistent of performers and is passed over.
Thrust Looks to have a little to find on balance.
Scene (IRE) Acts on soft ground and ran a fair race last time out at Nottingham, but she has not really caught the imagination this term.
Girl's Best Friend Hard to see her adding to her Lingfield maiden win of two years ago and is easily passed over.
