5 top 10s around this course & makes plenty of appeal with that record. Not hit his best yet in 2024. Never in contention during the Master's but did finish 22nd. Played well for most of the week & hopefully he returns to something like his best on a course he obviously enjoys.

Totally unexposed coming into this having only had 3 runs so far. Interesting that Marquand has got down to a low weight to ride. Didn't get the best of runs on his final start as a 3yo at Kempton when finishing 5th where he would of got closer. Considering the winner of that is now rated 103 & has won a group 1 then he could be very well treated off 88.

1 win from 4 starts in her 2yo campaign winning a low class maiden very easily at Kempton on her 3rd start. Rounded off last season with a 3rd in a group 3 at Newmarket. Needs to improve on bare form especially compared to Relief Rally but her stable have started the season in great form & she's got no stamina doubts at this trip.

2 of his last 3 runs have been good but word of caution he did bleed on the other occasion at Doncaster. Convincing winner lto at Newbury over shorter but looking as though he could be better over further. 8lb rise makes things tougher but he's on the up.

Has really found form in the UK on his last 2 starts. Nailed close home at Chepstow he led all the way when a very good winner at Aintree last week jumping like a stag. More to do off this 10lb higher mark & on drying ground. Still that was a very good performance at Aintree & he looked to be an improving type.

Twice successful in this contest & returns to compete in it again 7lb lower than when winning it in 2022. Has performed poorly in 3 outings this season & will need to step up considerably on those showings. If he can then he's very well handicapped to go well in the hat-trick bid.

Off the mark at the 4th attempt when winning a Southwell handicap off 96 in a race that worked out well. Bettered that form when pulling well clear with his stablemate Gwennie May Boy at Bangor when finishing runner-up off 102. Considering his stablemate has subsequently franked that form considerably since then he could be well in here off 107. Big run expected.

Plenty of promising sorts coming into this after their 2yo campaigns. This selection won on debut over 6f on the July course before finishing 3rd over CD in a group 3. Rounded off last season with a fine 3rd in the Dewhurst on soft & should be better on this ground. Hopefully will of learnt to settle better though cautious that Gosden might not have him fully tuned for this but that could apply to a few of these.

Yet to score over fences but she's finished placed in all 4 starts. Runner-up in a class 2 handicap at Hereford prior to a 3rd of 8 lto at Huntingdon behind Fortunefavorsdbold. 8lb better off with that rival today for 3 lengths so should reverse that form. 2 of her 3 hurdle wins came on good ground so these drying conditions should suit. Definite each way claims.

Had 4 of these well beaten lto when winning at Plumpton in a valuable contest. Had previously run well in the Betfair Hurdle at Newbury. Up 8lb for the 11 length win at Plumpton & if in the same form the handicapper may of wished he'd given him more. The more the ground dries out the better.

Only had 5 runs over hurdles & is up in class today following a win lto off a 5lb lower mark at Newbury. Appeared to appreciate the step up to 3m that day & gets in here off a very low weight. Could well have more to offer being unexposed over hurdles & over this trip.

Shouldn't have any issues up 1f & he did round off last season with a decent 4th in a group 2 at Longchamp. Hopefully trainer has him forward enough for this assignment.

Finished 6th in lash season's Scottish National & is only having his 2nd outing this season. Would probably prefer a more testing trip but his reappearance was respectable enough finishing runner-up at Newcastle. 2lb lower than that Scottish National effort & hopefully he'll of come on plenty for the run at Newcastle.

Former winner who has returned to close to his best this season. Won the Genesis with a superb final round in Feb & has since finished 12th 6th & 7th on his last 3 starts culminating with a 66 last week in Texas. Ranking high up recently in all departments & he's certainly capable if playing his best to be involved.

Not too sure what to make of the defending champion on his return to a 72 hole format since his deflection to LIV. Certain signals suggest he maybe having 2nd thoughts already but he's made his bed & until the tours come together he's going to have to put up with it. Personally I think a return here may rejuvenate him as he probably thinks he's got something to prove. Superb when winning this last year & in his other 6 starts in this he's finished top 10 on 4 occasions. Will need to perform better than he has since joining LIV but there's no denying his talent & he won't of become a bad golfer just because he moved to LIV.

By far & away the most consistent golfer in the world in the last 2 years. Had a few putting issues towards the backend of last season but since changing putters he seems to of ironed out a lot of the misses from inside 10ft. Best tee-green & makes less mistakes than many of his opponents. Dominating on the PGA Tour. Only out of the top 10 once in his last 8 starts including 5 top 5's & 2 wins. Decent effort defending last year here when 10th & the shortest priced Master's fav since Tiger in his heyday.

The lovable Irishman has finished inside the top 25 in the last 4 renewals of this. A superb iron player who sometimes is let down with his putting. This course puts a lot of pressure on getting up & down from tricky spots & there's not many better in the short game department than Lowry. If he can hold a couple more putts then I can see him contending come Sunday evening.

Certainly doesn't win as often as his game suggests he should but he's a proverbial contender in big events. His stats this season stack up well as he's 6th off the tee, 2nd in tee-green, 18th in approach play & 9th in putting. Has a decent record in this finishing in the top 3 in 6 attempts. Solid performer in majors over the last 5 year's & could well contend again.

Looks to be getting the hang of things hurdling with improved efforts on her last 2 starts. 3rd at Warwick in Jan was followed lto by a runner-up spot at Chepstow behind an odds on shot.

Followed a good 3rd at Exeter in Dec with a win next time out at Doncaster. Slightly disappointing lto at Sedgefield off this mark when only 4th of 11. Worth giving another chance to hoping he can return to his previous progressive form.
