J: Billy Loughnane

T: Michael Bell

This is a classier race than he's accustomed to but he's been in fine form since returning from a break and it was comfortable over C&D a month ago; 6lb rise demands another career best but couldn't put it past him.

J: Pat Cosgrave

Placed three consecutive times before leading close home to open account at Nottingham (1m2f, good; front pair clear) on Wednesday, carries 5lb penalty here but should be fine on the forecast slower ground; ought to be right in the thick of things again.

Prevailed narrowly at Newbury last time, taking record to 5-28 and confirming that he's well suited by fast ground; back up 3lb but remains well handicapped on peak form and is a dual C&D winner; good third in this race last year; one of the main players.

Both wins have been on AW but he's run well on turf this season including when runner-up at Carlisle (1m) in May and when third over this trip at Windsor (good to firm) last time; continues to edge down the weights and he's in the mix with cheekpieces added.
