Swiss Cross won this in 2011 but doesn't arrive in great form. By contrast, last year's winner ARCTIC FEELING went close at Haydock last week and looks set to make another bold bid racing off a lower mark this time round. Bondesire is another in fine fettle and beat Chooseday at Beverley before scoring again at Chester a week ago. Ashpan Sam finished ahead of Desert Command and Joe Packet when runner-up at Goodwood and is another with claims while Doc Hay won off a higher mark in this grade last year and can figure if the ground softens.
