Roaring Lion (3.25 Doncaster, nap)

The John Gosden-trained colt showed real determination to land the Group 2 Royal Lodge Stakes at Newmarket last time. That effort put him firmly in the frame for this race and with more improvement expected he holds solid credentials here.

Topspeed: Dave Edwards

Johanos (3.45 Cheltenham)

Enjoyed a couple of wide-margin victories in March and although this is tougher, Nigel Hawke's improving six-year-old should not be underestimated.

West Country: Andrew King

Whataknight (3.45 Cheltenham, nap)

Should have derived benefit for seasonal return and can make his presence tell as a result.

Cheltenham 2.00 Doing Fine, 3.10 Vaniteux 4.20 Alcala 4.55 Robbin Hannon, 5.30 Ainchea.

Racing Post Ratings: Steve Mason

(1.50 Kelso, nap)

Shaped like a certain future winner behind a smart type over course and distance earlier this month and this looks an ideal opportunity for him to go one better.

Longshot: Ed Quigley

Lamb Or Cod (2.00 Cheltenham)

His last run was too bad to be true and the ten-year-old has ground conditions to suit, winning form at the track and is capable off a mark of 130.

Ireland: Tony O'Hehir

Mawaany (4.50 Leopardstown)

The Ger Lyons-trained four-year-old, who won twice over shorter trips early in the year, has performed well over 1m4f and ran as if today's return to that distance would suit when beaten a neck on his most recent start at the Curragh. He appears to be adaptable in terms of ground and can score for Colin Keane.
