Aronius (2/1), Auenwirbel (7/2), Russian Service (6/1), Nocte Volatus (6/1), Tactical Manoeuvre (9/1), Blazing Saddles (10/1), Arcade Attraction (12/1), Cheng Gong (16/1), Vanderbilt (16/1), Manor Park (20/1), Motdepas (33/1), Russian Exile (40/1), Champagne Ideas (50/1), Dido (66/1), Toad Of Toad Hall (80/1), Across The Park (125/1), Jupiter Rising (150/1)

The 3 last-time-out scorers look the ones to focus on here, with preference for Laura Young's AUENWIRBEL, who made light of a 13-month absence to score readily over C&D 9 days. He should come on from that and seemingly holds leading claims of following up. Aronius and Russian Service rate as the obvious dangers, with 3-time C&D winner Tactical Manoeuvre another to consider.
