Kateira
Useful mare who is a dual Listed winner (2m5f/2m); beat a highly notable rival at Aintree (2m4f, soft) on last handicap attempt; now 9lb higher but Harry Atkins takes off a handy 7lb; could go well.

Knickerbockerglory
Good reappearance record includes an 8l success (off 6lb lower on heavy ground) in this race 12 months ago; held his form well for the remainder of last term; respected back here on seasonal debut.

Goshen
Absent since well beaten in the big end-of-season handicap chase at Sandown (3m4f) in April; smart on his day but is mercurial and hasn't won over hurdles for three years; may need further than 2m now.

Metier
The winner of notable prizes under both codes; however, has a doubt over current form judged on his two Flat efforts this year; not seen over hurdles since well beaten in the 2024 Imperial Cup here.

Glynn Brae
Justified favouritism with neck success at Sandown (2m4f, good to soft) on seasonal debut, taking overall record to 5-8; previously effective at about 2m; major contender with further progress plausible.

L'Astroboy
Still unexposed, having raced only four times, and form includes a good effort in Grade 1 novice over C&D; however, has been absent since March 2023; market signals may prove best guide.

Go Dante
Beaten long way at Bangor on reappearance but is interesting back at Sandown, assuming he rebounds; 2-2 here, namely wins in the Imperial Cup in 2024 and 2025; overall strike-rate is 6-20.

Honky Tonk Highway
Two attempts at Sandown comprise Listed wins, including on this card 12 months ago; however, needs to rebound having posted a dismal effort at Bangor on handicap/seasonal debut.

Afadil
Losing sequence is mounting up but he's nicely treated on lots of form, including close third in last season's Imperial Cup over C&D; each-way possibilities with Ascot reappearance under his belt.
