Three-time course winner who is back off the same mark as when successful over C&D in March; needs to improve on recent efforts, though.

Jockey: Jason HartTrainer: Michael Herrington
1
Houquetot

3-7 on turf in France for Christopher Head, including a win in a Group 3 (7f, soft) as a 2yo; changed hands for 90,000euros in July and makes his stable/AW debut after six months off having been gelded and undergone wind surgery in the meantime; market revealing.

Jockey: Luke MorrisTrainer: David O'Meara
2
Storm Star

Ultra-consistent with his record here reading 13111, his latest win coming in the AW Mile Championship over C&D in April; up another 5lb, but still a major player if the market suggests he is ready after eight months off and he may find this race is run to suit.

Jockey: Jason WatsonTrainer: Andrew Balding
3
Pocklington

Won his first two outings here (6f) as a 3yo and has gone down by less than a length in his last four starts, incluing when beaten a short head at Doncaster (6.5f, good to soft) in September; off three months since, but has gone well fresh and this trip looks worth exploring; stable also runs his half-brother Doctor Khan Junior.

Jockey: P J McDonaldTrainer: Geoff Oldroyd
4
Doctor Khan Junior

Handy sort who is 5-9 on the AW including a win over C&D; held on his return from 342 days off at Southwell (7f, Tapeta) in February and has been off another ten months since; his half-brother Pocklington may be the stable's main hope.
