Coeur d'Or
Ran well in some hot handicaps last year, most recently fourth of 24 in the Irish Cambridgeshire over C&D last August (1m, good; won that race in 2023), keeping on well and briefly short of room; might need the run but versatile ground-wise; contender.

Indigo Five
Fourth behind Orandi in the Lincoln on return; produced career-best when comfortably winning over C&D (soft) 13 days later off 90; made little impression at Gowran (7f, heavy) on latest but has a chance if she can bounce back.

Orandi
Five-time winner in France; has won twice at this track for current yard, including the Lincoln over C&D on return in March; just failed when coming from rear to finish third in Lincoln at Doncaster (1m, good to soft) soon after; rain would be a big help for his chances.

Record of 4-20, including over C&D in the summer of 2023; won over this trip at Dundalk in October but weakened out of things quickly in two subsequent AW runs; finished fifth in this race last year, beaten 2.5l; now 1lb lower on return.

Runner-up in the Britannia Handicap at Royal Ascot (1m, good to firm) last June; first run since when close fifth at Haydock (7f) last month; ran on late through beaten rivals on latest at Newcastle (7f); British challenger commands respect with Ryan Moore aboard.

State Actor
C&D maiden winner who followed up in this race (good) last year from 10lb lower; fair C&D fourth next time in June; improved form when going very close in Irish Cambridgeshire over C&D in August; disappointed in Balmoral at Ascot but big player returning to favoured track on return.

Akecheta
Debut win at Tipperary (7f, soft to heavy) last May; model of consistency in defeat since, last seen finishing second behind Indigo Five over C&D (soft) on return in March, hitting the line well; should be in the mix again.

Perfect Judgement
Completed 1m Dundalk hat-trick in the winter; fifth there next time after a further 8lb rise in the weights; has won on turf but will need a career-best to defy his current mark.

AW specialist is 6-23 at Dundalk and 1-22 on turf; stiff assignment when never a factor in valuable 1m Newcastle handicap last month; turf mark looks too high at present.

Dual winner last year at up to 9.5f, including an impressive victory over C&D (good) in October; 14lb higher now; down the field in two comeback runs and must improve here to figure.

Lord Church
Thrived in first half of last season for former yard, racking up a hat-trick of wins at Limerick, Cork and here (1m1f); eyecatching debut run for this stable when never-nearer third of 16 at Limerick (1m) last month; ground-versatile and Oisin Murphy booked.

Slieve Binnian
Four of his five wins have been on AW but is capable on turf too; improved from seasonal/stable debut when third of 16 at Cork (10.5f, soft); first try at this trip since June 2023 and might find it on the sharp side.

Dual-purpose performer is 4-41 on the Flat; midfield finish in the Lincoln over C&D (soft) in March; well beaten when last seen over hurdles at Tramore; would be a surprise winner.

Derry Lad
One of two for the yard; 4-26 for Kevin Coleman; last won at Pontefract off 77 in June 2023; has since failed to make an impact off his revised mark but wasn't beaten far (3.5l) on seasonal/stable debut at Leopardstown (1m); market watch advised; tongue-tied.

Lightly raced 4yo has won 3-4 handicaps all over 7f; followed up AW success on handicap debut with Leopardstown win (good); scoped badly in hat-trick bid; another winning return when sent off favourite at Leopardstown last month, pushed out to win cosily; 2lb wrong but good chance up in trip.

Won over 9.5f at Gowran in 2022 and gained his first win since on the AW in December (10.5f); respectable third of eight at Ballinrobe (9.5f) on latest but faces a tough examination here.
