Strong Man Tom (G)
Tailed off in a pair of bumpers earlier this spring and offered little on Flat debut when last of 6 in maiden over this C&D 8 days ago. Looks to be up against it.

Down the field completed starts over hurdles and fared no better sent chasing when sixth of 7 in handicap at Hexham (2½m) last summer. Off 9 months ahead of first run since leaving Alison Thorpe (hood retained from jumps).

Blue Hercules (C)
Sent off at 125/1 but was much improved from debut when fourth of 9 in maiden at Newbury 2 weeks ago, keeping on again final 1f. Will need to find more again in this contest.

Echo Of Stars (C)
[T1]

El Nay (G)
Placed all 3 starts despite looking in need of the experience, running his best race yet when second to a promising type in 5-runner maiden at Chester 23 days ago. Can continue to go the right way as he develops with racing.
