Averted View (USA) Gradually improving with each run but no easy task giving weight away all round.
Makarim (IRE) Made the most of a drop to this trip to finally gain reward for some good efforts, no reason why he should not go well again and one to consider.
Pirro (IRE) Suited by this trip and will not be inconvenienced by the advent of rain, should go close.
Tiyoun (IRE) Won a fair Handicap at Ripon back in June but this looks tougher, any rain would aid his case.
Middlethorpe Only beat one horse home in his two outings this season and best watched until signs of a revival.
Little John Highly tried and not one support with the greatest of faith for win only bets however, has gained his fair share of second place prize money.
