Lavender Hill Mob (G)
Useful performer who capitalised on a lenient hurdle mark at Cheltenham in November. Yet to conclusively prove his stamina for this far on the Flat, though he should be cherry-ripe for this, having been spared a hard race on the all-weathe…

Blazeon Five (M)
Followed up Ascot/Nottingham wins with a career-best success to land the hat-trick at Southwell in December, yet she did find life tougher off this mark when midfield in a relatively valuable 2m handicap at Newcastle the following month.

Pole Star (G)
Likeable son of Teofilo who notched a third career success when winning in a similar grade at Yarmouth last summer. Wasn't disgraced in better company before finishing down the field in the Cesarewitch and remains the type who should relis…

Classical Allusion (G)
FAV
Ulysses gelding who was relatively unconsidered but looked firmly above average when making a winning start at Southwell and backed that up when chasing home Constitution Hill at Kempton (1½m) last time. This greater test of stamina should…

Maxident (G)
Front-running stayer who finished a solid second over 1¾m at Ffos Las prior to going one better over the same C&D in September (heavy). Usually gives his running on reappearance, though perhaps crucially, he doesn't have his optimum condit…

Caprelo (G)
[B]
Having shaped much better than the result in the Cesarewitch, ran his best race when runner-up in valuable 2m handicap at Kempton in December. That form (winner followed up next-time-out) puts him firmly in the mix on return to turf.

Call My Bluff (G)

Useful handicapper at his best but clearly hasn't been the easiest to train in recent seasons, showing nothing after 5 months at Southwell last time.

Francesco Baracca (G)
Better on than ever on the all-weather last season and while he cannot be judged harshly on his latest run at Lingfield (left poorly placed), this looks considerably tougher on return to turf.
