      Verdict

      Not as competitive as the numbers suggest and the much-improved BUZZ ICECLEAR is taken to quickly resume winning ways on the back of an excellent Ascot third. Carismatic Soldier fluffed his lines when odds-on at Uttoxeter last time out but had been on the up prior to that and could emerge as the chief threat, although course winners President Scottie and Rocheval can both have a say too. Veteran C&D scorer Shoeshine Boy completes the shortlist.

      Buzz Iceclear (Ire) silk

      Much improved this season, scoring over C&D and at Wetherby. Excellent third of 9 off a 10 lb higher mark in 3m Ascot handicap last time so he's a likely player with cheekpieces now added.

      Carismatic Soldier (Ire) silk

      Made an encouraging return when third at Wetherby (21f) in November but made mistakes when last of 5 at Uttoxeter following month. Sent off odds-on there and worth another chance with cheekpieces fitted.

      President Scottie (Ire) silk

      Course scorer who shaped as if back in form in first-time cheekpieces when eighth of 11 in handicap chase at Kelso (32.4f, soft) 53 days ago, close up until bad error 4 out. Not ruled out back over hurdles.
