A tough race to call with so many who go well here but the suggestion is ASADJUMEIRAH, who was not far away last time and may be capable of tipping the scales in his favour. Flash The Dash and Athollblair Boy both look capable of having a say, while The Gay Blade and Spartan Fighter can be competitive and keep an eye on the market with regard to the handicap newcomer Woodraff.[Jonathan Doidge]

Two of his three wins have come here, including over C&D; also won at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) on his penultimate start; beaten over 4l back here (7f), from this mark, latest; not ruled out now back over this trip.
Veteran winner of 11 races here, mostly over this trip; hasn't got his nose in front for 15 months but was placed over C&D when just 1lb lower earlier in the year; not ruled out.
Six-time C&D winner who has struggled to make a serious impact so far this year; 5lb better off with Asadjumeirah for just over 3l here in February and back on a more competitive mark and over his preferred trip; not written off.
Six-time C&D winner; 9lb lower than when scoring here last October; has been placed twice here when 5lb higher since then and he's another not totally written off now back over this trip.
Moderate form in three qualifying starts here over 7f-1m; dam a half-sister to a couple of 6f winners, so this drop in trip for his handicap debut may prove beneficial; check the market for any clues.
6f and 7f AW winner; back on a handy mark based on March's Wolverhampton form, also on Tapeta, but well held latest and there's a bit for him to prove at this track.
Multiple course winner, including twice over this trip; just held over C&D when 1lb higher in February and looks to have each-way claims if producing his best.
