| 9th | 1 | 3 |
Invictus Gold (G)
Finished third behind Double Rush on C&D reappearance for the second year in a row here last time, and while he's probably as good as ever, there's no obvious reason to expect a reversal of that form.

El Bodon (G)
Landed back-to-back 6f handicaps at Kempton in February, but he found his run of good form coming to a halt on All-Weather Finals Day at Newcastle last time and looks no more than averagely treated back on turf.

Jakajaro (G)
[P]
Ended a long losing run with a dominant success over 5f here on return, and while that was a career-best effort, following up under a penalty in a better race will prove tougher. Cheekpieces go back on.

Apollo One (G)
Runner-up in the Portland at Doncaster and an Ascot Group 3 last season, though hasn't been close to that level in the Middle East this winter, finishing well beaten at Meydan in late-February.

Sir Les Patterson (G)
Found his progress on the all-weather halted when bidding for a hat-trick on Finals Day at Newcastle, and it's hard to be confident now returning to turf, his record more miss than hit.

Double Rush (C)
FAV
Comfortable winner on handicap debut here for Charles Hills last season and made it 2-2 over C&D with an impressive success on first start for Andrew Balding last time. Likely to prove better than this grade and should prove hard to beat u…

Coul Angel (G)
4-time all-weather winner opened his turf account over C&D last season and though he ran as well as ever when chasing home Double Rush here on return from 13 weeks off, a 5 lb swing probably won't be enough to reverse the placings.

Brian (G)
Showed more than on return when mid-field in a competitive handicap at Newbury and though his mark is a fair one, he may be vulnerable pitched into a better-quality race.

Addison Grey (G)
Low-mileage 4-y-o who gained his third career success on the July Course here last August. Gelded in the off-season, he got firmly back on the up when going close on reappearance at Newbury and is probably well treated off an unchanged mar…

Indian Run (G)
Merely ticking over in similar handicaps to this last summer, and returning from 8 months off, it's hard to envisage him capitalising on a falling mark.
