Plenty have possibilities but the vote goes to SIR BENEDICT, who is 8lb lower than for his Nottingham win last June and he got back on track with a strong-finishing second at Southwell last month. Monsieur Fantaisie was as good as ever when scoring at Redcar and he's feared most, ahead of Papa Don't Preach who is on the same mark as for his close call at Wetherby on Monday. Calafrio could be a big factor if this sets up for her closing style, while Ishe Worth Agamble and Woodleigh also enter the reckoning.[David Moon]

Five-time AW winner who made his belated breakthrough on turf when scoring on recent stable debut at Redcar (6f); up 5lb but he was as good as ever last time and has claims if he can back that up; last run was on good to firm but he's also effective on good to soft.
Triple AW winner who is 0-25 on turf but he's been in good form since February and has gone close at Nottingham (6f) and Wetherby (5.5f) in his last two runs; handles most ground and he should be in the thick of things again.
Record of 1-19 but he's well treated on his win (6f, soft) last May and showed signs of a revival when third at Wolverhampton (7f, AW) two weeks ago; has claims if he can back that up and any rain would be a positive.
Won at Newcastle (5f, AW) for Daragh Bourke in January but he's been hit and miss since and has been well held in last two starts; has 6f form but overall record now stands at 1-21 and others are more convincing; headgear removed.
Effective on good to firm and good to soft; strong-traveller who often goes close and has been placed at Thirsk (6f, good) and at Nottingham (6f, good to firm) in her two runs this season; likely to be delivered late and she's respected.
Just one win from 15 starts but that came at Leicester (6f, good to firm) last month and he ran another good race when third at Ripon (6f, good to soft) last week; hung right-handed last time but cheekpieces are now added and he's a big player if he can find something extra.
Well treated on her old form but last win was over two years ago and she has form figures of 77870096 in the last 13 months; handles most ground but she has plenty to prove and needs a big turnaround.
Six-time sprint winner who won three times last year; now 8lb lower than for his Nottingham win last June and he got back on track with a second at Southwell (5f, AW) last month; has possibilities back up in trip and it would be a bonus if rain arrives; cheekpieces removed.
Won at Yarmouth (6f, good to firm) last August; third in three consecutive handicaps at Chelmsford (7f/1m) in the autumn, but he's been quiet in his three runs this year; bit to prove and he wouldn't want any rain.
