[T1]
Third on debut at this course in November but not built on that form since, including when looking ungainly at Meydan the last twice. Steps up significantly in trip returned to this venue in a first-time tongue strap. Plenty to prove.

Clansman (G)
In good form since reappearing in January, following a couple of solid placed efforts with a deserved first success on the all-weather at Newcastle in March. Held form since and is proven at this longer trip.

Westlain (G)

Twice a winner over hurdles since last seen on the Flat, responding well to the hood. Returns to this sphere with that headgear retained and he has scope to progress over a new trip.

Dollar's Dream (G)
Runner-up to subsequent winners twice in January but disappointed when fifth of 6 in a handicap over 1¾m here in March, looking awkward under pressure. Not one to write off if bouncing back given he's a proven stayer in a race where a few …
