The best part of £80,000 is up for grabs for the winner of Saturday's Northumberland Plate.
One of the most prestigious handicaps of the summer, this contest has been won by some of the toughest stayers down the years and will crown another champion at Gosforth Park this weekend.
Trueshan became a very famous winner in 2022 under 10-8, pulling off one of the greatest weight carrying performances in recent memory to win by half-a-length.
We take a look at the main contenders this time around...
Despite there not being anything in here to match the class of Trueshan -- in fairness, there rarely is -- Saturday's renewal looks as competitive as ever with Circus Of Rome fancied to get the job done.
His four-year-old has been well beaten in two starts this term but a return to the progression he showed throughout last season would make him very interesting here.
If his profile isn't for you, then Roger Varian's Ride Of Thunder might be more fitting. He is yet to finish out of the top four in his career and was eye-catching on his sole start this season, shaping as if the step up to two miles will suit.
Team Player is another that is suited by the trip and showed that on his most recent start when a never nearer fifth behind A Piece Of Heaven in the Chester Cup.
Runner-up, ninth and first in this contest down the years, Spirit Mixer is back for the fourth time and certainly knows his way around the track.
He's only 6lbs higher than last year's win and, given he took out a Chester handicap following his victory here, there is reason to believe that he could go well again.
