13/8

Comment: Has managed five wins from 17 career runs; finished third two weeks ago albeit only beaten 2½l with Undisputed just behind in an allowance race; has to be taken seriously given recent reappearance at Belmont At The Big A will have blown away the cobwebs.

Comment: Lightly raced (running for just the fifth time); didn't run too badly when out of the frame at Saratoga (beaten 8l) in an allowance race dropped back in distance 42 days ago; shown he can win fairly recently and likely to be involved.

Dirand (IRE)

Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 324

11/10

Comment: From respected trainer and some promise; closest he has come to winning after three starts was a second; came up a bit short, beaten just under 2l when favourite, over 1m1f at Saratoga (maiden special weight) splitting Orgonite, Limo and Operation Overlord five weeks ago; can make his presence felt as he was strong in the market last time.

Orgonite

Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 64423

Comment: Seems to be improving based on last two runs; finishing third was a good effort at Saratoga five weeks ago where he had four of these rivals behind him in a maiden special weight; should go well as jockey does well from inner gates here and his latest run was promising.

Comment: Winning form over C&D; managed two wins in his last four outings; problems at the start (stumbled) when beaten 10l (Saratoga) 52 days ago in a claimer; a few rivals look in good form so there are better alternatives here.
