Tyson Fury
Smart performer whose last win came here over 2m in February 2024 off 99; just denied over 1m6f at the Curragh that summer, absent since never counting (hung right) at Royal Ascot in June that year; runner-up in this race in 2023 on returning from a break so goes well fresh and not to be discounted.

Lady Lunette
Turf wins have been over shorter and was having only her second run at this track when scoring over C&D at the end of October, staying on well in beating subsequent winner Quatre Bras 0.75l in a first-time tongue-tie; 4lb rise but meets that progressive rival on 7lb better terms.

Crypto Force
Highly tried 5yo was gaining first win since juvenile days when landing Gowran conditions event (1m1f) in July; too keen and didn't get home over this trip on AW debut in October so bit to prove stamina-wise.

Gentleman Joe
Dual-purpose 7yo has a good strike-rate on the Flat, including turf wins this summer at Listowel and Leopardstown; back from a break with fine effort here last week, dictating pace under today's rider when second over 2m (Gaucher fourth); drop back in trip not ideal.

Gaucher
Very smart hurdler, winning Grade 3 Tipperary contest in October; favourite on AW debut here last week over 2m, plenty keen under restraint and wandered for pressure in straight when fourth (1.75l off Gentleman Joe); more needed and a stronger pace would suit down in trip here.

Old Peculier
Improved significantly once blinkers added, completing a hat-trick here (1m-1m4f) last winter and even better form when second over 1m2f at Lingfield; absent since solid fourth at Kempton in April but may need this.

Quatre Bras
Turf maiden has been thriving of late on this surface, both wins over 1m2f, most recently off 76; in between found Lady Lunette too strong over today's longer trip and meets that rival on 7lb worse terms.
