Regent's Stroll
Lost unbeaten record when fourth in Grade 1 Challow at Newbury (2m4f, good to soft) in December, and beaten into second when odds-on in Listed novice (2m, good to soft) at Exeter last month; there's a concern how he'll settle now back up in trip but it will be a big surprise if he doesn't win.

The Sainted Canary
Good-ground bumper runner-up who won here (1m7f, soft) last month on his second hurdle start; Regent's Stroll has much stronger form but this unexposed 6yo is bred to be suited by the step up in trip and is open to further improvement; can give another good account.

Thankyouandplease
Best result in Irish maiden points came when 10l second of six in January (3m, yielding); faces a tough assignment on this rules debut and he's probably best watched.

The Italian Fox
25,000euros foal, £25,000 3yo; second foal; unraced dam from useful family; hard to envisage him bothering Regent's Stroll on debut but his trainer is enjoying an excellent season and he's not ruled out each-way.

Kantagua Du Large
Won 4yo chase in France (2m3f, very soft) last January and she may have needed the run when soundly beaten on her stable debut in a novice hurdle at Warwick in January; not ruled out each-way.
