Dancing Phantom Trainer loves a winner at York but this formerly useful handicapper need to be something special to overcome such a long absence; although is on a mark he has won off before; interesting if ground stays good to soft.
Ligne Gagnante (IRE) Seemed to improve for step up in trip last time and although consistent long absence may count against him.
Octavius Caesar (USA) Not the most consistent of horses but put in solid effort at Chester last time out; still might not be good enough.
Inch Perfect Generally consistent over a variety of trips and surfaces who saves his best for York; needs things to go his way but not without a chance.
Persian Pride (IRE) Improved for step up in trip last time out but looks a little harshly handicapped today.
Bawsian Has been fairly consistent this season but trainer is out of form and others preferred.
Steel Band Would want it good to soft and has been in-form of late but others make more appeal on balance of form.
Robandela (USA) Has been running well since winning well at Newmarket three months ago; live chance if reproducing that form for in-form yard.
Adjawar (IRE) Excellent second at Salisbury last time and holds every chance if reproducing that sort of effort.
McGillycuddy Reeks (IRE) Has been running well of late and should run another good race here; tends to win only in small fields however.
Ocean Tide Step down in trip does not augur well and rarely wins away from his beloved Hamilton.
Sporting Gesture After a four-timer but will need to improve a good deal to play a major role here; would not want it too soft.
Golden Chance (IRE) Seems to go better for a woman but ground likely to suit and trainer in good form.
King Spinner (IRE) Solid effort last time at Newmarket on first try at this trip; good chance if able to reproduce that effort.
My Very Own (IRE) Decent effort at Headquarters 18 days ago and should have good chance if ground is on the dead side.
Henry Island (IRE) Good chance if reproducing the form shown last time at Leicester and could go close at decent odds.
Borders Belle (IRE) Looks the form pick but would need the ground to stay good to soft to have her best chance.
Warning Reef Seems better over 10 furlongs but ran very well in similar type of race here last season; place chance.
Tycoon's Last Won have to be at his very best to play a major in this affair but is in form so could run into a place.
Irish Distinction (IRE) Best run has come over 11f but has been campaigned over 10f in recent races - might be on a useful mark.
Night Sight (USA) Trainer out of form and horse far better on the AW; place chance at very best.
