Made all in small field at Ayr (2m, soft) last time, taking hurdles record to 2-4; in good hands and may do better still but dominating this race seems likely to be harder.

Cosmic Connection

Scored in tidy fashion at Chepstow (2m, good to soft; handicap debut) last time, taking rules record to 2-3, and is probably still well treated even after a 6lb rise; improving.

Jockey: Sam Twiston-DaviesTrainer: Chris Gordon
2
Kadastral

Non-stayer over 2m4f last time; solid record at 2m otherwise, including two efforts behind smart Sober Glory; this Skelton runner likely still has more to offer; respected handicap debutant.

Kocktail Bleu

Proving consistent and, following a good effort in a Grade 2, he made all at Newbury (2m, good to soft) back down in class last time; far from sure to get an easy lead in this bigger field, however.
