Brentford Hope
There's a few that really look capable of winning this contest and it's interesting to see the top-weight Brentford Hope as the frontrunner early on.
He goes well on soft and heavy which is seems like it will be this weekend and faces a tough task giving away between 6lb-26lb to his rivals.

But he's been in the top three in his last four races and just keeps progressing for trainer Harry Derham.
His third place finish was just two lengths off of Hansard in a Grade 3 at Newbury and his second place also at Newbury was to Spring Note, who had the benefit of 11lb on testing ground.
Last time out at Newcastle he showed his dominance and potential once more by easily dispatching of Horn Cape and a few others, and that was while giving away 13lb, so he's capable of replicating that, up 5lb for that win.
Improving horse who's going well and running for the third time this month.
Individualism
Tipped Individualism when he made his debut back in July and he finished second of six just 3/4 length away from Cerulean Bay.
Wasn't as close next time out at Leicester but clearly likes a bit of cut in the ground when second to Respectful in September.
He's always looked as though he has more on offer and just not quite unleashed that potential as a two-year-old but looks the strongest here to finally get off the mark for his first start in 2024.
There's more form on heavy and good to soft which bodes well for this weekend over a few rivals and he could be one to watch going forward too.
Poet Master
Won three times in 2023 all over 7f and only got caught out once when upped to 1m.
Clearly a progressive horse for trainer Karl Burke who's going well with results at this time of the season and ought to continue that with this Lope De Vega gelding.
He certainly inspires more hope than others and with a course and distance win already to his name he should take a lot of beating to some of these rivals who just present a bit too much risk with inconsistency.
Shannon Royale
Really impressive hurdler who's sire, Walk In The Park has produced a few promising youngsters so far this season.
This horse owned by Robcour, has already beaten two odds-on favourites this season, Tullyhill by a mile at Punchestown and beat Summerville Boy by a neck last time out.
He looks comfortable over this kind of distance and won't mind the ground either way.
Should take this comfortably based on his form and may well have more to offer still, upped 8lb.
He beat the 8/13 141-rated Summerville Boy by a neck and could go forward as the six-year-old has plenty of scope for improvement at such an age, exemplifying that against the experienced 12-year-old.
