Alpine Sierra
Two C&D wins last season; he's slipped down the weights this year and was sent off favourite over C&D nine days ago, eventually finishing fourth (Golden Valour second and Havana Rose sixth); likely to be heavily involved again.

Jkr Cobbler
Closely matched with Darbucks on Carlisle form from May (7f, good to soft); the odd good effort since, including over C&D, and respected, for all that he'll need a good pace to aim at.

Mighty Power
Yet to win on turf but he's capable of a big run off this mark and he's closely matched with Lumenbourg on a Doncaster run from August; 1m on soft a valid excuse last time; one to take seriously.

Darbucks
Modest strike-rate but he's yet to run a poor race at this track, including when first past the post in the corresponding race 12 months ago (demoted to second); not at his best on last three starts and he'll be another 3lb lower from the weekend; dangerous if anywhere near his best but some rain wouldn't go amiss.

Havana Rose
Gone the wrong way for current stable and although her latest sixth of nine over C&D was better, she still finished behind a couple of reopposing rivals; didn't get the cleanest run there but more will be needed to win.

Lumenbourg
Lightly raced 3yo who has improved for the addition of a visor, winning at Doncaster (7f, good to firm) in August and then placed at Wolverhampton and Redcar; best of the prominent racers last time and he's a major player off an unchanged mark.

Golden Valour
Ended long losing run with 1m win here in May off 2lb higher; held his form since and last week's C&D second was a positive effort; each-way claims again.

Ana Emaraaty
Off the mark in a weak classified event at Newcastle (1m) in March; failed to build on that success in three more runs in spring; back from six months off and looks vulnerable.

Bernie The Bear
Won three times on AW in the second half of 2023 and he has run well on turf this year too; that hasn't been the case on his last two starts though.
