My Brother Mike
Veteran who pulled hard from a similar stall and finished held behind City Escape here on Tuesday, having won off 3lb lower over C&D last month; has his good and bad days now.

Bird Of Play
Couple of absences since leaving Ivan Furtado and has finished comfortably held in three runs back; 1m2f may have been beyond him last time, though, and he's another 3lb lower in first-time headgear.

City Escape
Looked unlucky not to complete a quickfire C&D hat-trick on Tuesday, when slowly away and having little chance given the way the race unfolded; will be 4lb higher from tomorrow and holds obvious claims.

Venetian
Course winner for the Johnston yard as a 2yo who started favourite for a couple of Irish turf handicaps early last summer; easy to back here on Wednesday, returning from four months off, when hitting traffic late having struggled early (8.6f).

Strategic Fortune
Three-time C&D winner who's been dry in two years but been enjoying a consistent spell; pulled hard and didn't see out 1m4f last time and will be happier back round here.

Port Noir
Course regular who returned a solid effort back from a second round of wind surgery in a race that didn't set up ideally over C&D last time; rarely runs badly here and looks set to go well again.

The Pug
Headgear worn for his three wins is on for the first time since joining this yard, which is a positive; he's down to a career-low mark too under Hollie Doyle, but has become wildly inconsistent.

Cryptos Dream
Came away with Strategic Fortune when winning over C&D last November (2lb worse off tonight); has been held a few times here since, though, including on Wednesday night.

Mr Trick
Regressive gelding who did better, given a second try in the visor in place of cheekpieces, over C&D last time; that came in a 0-50 classified event and he's no certainty to repeat the effort.
