J: Shane Gray

T: Kevin Ryan

8yo who was inconsistent last season and lacks a recent run; however, he's just 1lb higher than when both second of 13 over C&D (good) last May and winning at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) next time; not ruled out each-way.

J: Oisin McSweeney

T: Kevin Ryan

Not far off his best this year and won at Hamilton (5f, good to soft) in June, but he's been in and out since and was well held in the Ayr Gold Cup; this C&D winner could be revived but he doesn't have the potential of some of these.

9st 0lb

J: Oisin McSweeney

T: Kevin Ryan

Fine servant who was winning for the eighth time when successful in a 5f handicap at Hamilton in June; good third back at Hamilton in July but not at quite the same level on his last two starts; this will be his fifth attempt in one of the Cups here though and last season's Silver Cup third was his best result; stable has stronger claims elsewhere.

W: 9st 5lb

4 yo Gelding

OR: 89

Form & Verdict
Seemed suited by the drop to 6f when winning impressively at Ascot (good; 2-1 favourite) last autumn; hasn't repeated the form, however, fading when fourth of eight over the same C&D last time; now returns from three months off in a visor/after wind surgery, and he'll be dangerous if revitalised.

Form & Verdict
Looked a sprinter going places with back-to-back 6f successes at Windsor (good to firm) in May and Doncaster (good; hooded) in June, but well held twice at Ascot since, tailed off (no headgear; 15-8 favourite) on latest; this race is less competitive and he may well bounce back.
