Valsharah overcame a slow start last time to finish a close second, beaten just a length in a classified event, form that looks the best on offer. Proven at today's trip and going, he's yet to get his head in front in his last six starts, but that effort makes him hard to oppose.

Comment

Big Time Rascal returned to his best last time, winning by a length in a classified event, and the placed efforts either side suggest solid consistency. Fit again after just a week and proven at today's trip and ground, he rates a leading threat once more.

Comment

Bated Breeze was well held after a slow start last time, though two placed efforts earlier in the sequence read better, and he remains without a win in five starts. Highly rated on our figures and suited by today's trip and going, he can turn things around if he begins on terms this time.

Comment

Barnsnape Boy was a below-par fourth last time, beaten five lengths in a classified event, some way below the level of his win two starts back. He does have claims at today's trip and going and isn't without a chance, but a wide draw and that below-par effort make him hard to trust fully.

Coast matched her recent levels last time, beaten a little over four lengths in a classified event, but her last six starts have brought no win as yet. A confirmed front-runner now tried in first-time blinkers, she's suited by today's trip and going, though she'll need to find more to feature prominently.

Comment

Apple's Angel showed more encouraging form last time, over-racing early but finishing best of all late to be fourth, beaten only three lengths in a classified event. She remains without a win in five starts, but a first-time hood and clear claims at today's trip and ground suggest she's finding her form.

Comment

Manhattan Chute hasn't beaten another rival in five runs since a surprise success in January, and he was never landing a blow after a slow start when last seen at Windsor. He's proven at today's trip and going and usually ridden patiently, but a 61-day layoff and a wide draw add to the queries.

Comment

Molly Marine travelled without urgency when beaten five lengths in a handicap at Lingfield last time, and her last six starts have yet to yield a win. She has raced over today's trip before, but a lengthy 68-day absence means she'll likely need this run to find her form again.

Comment

Coiled never landed a blow from off the pace when well beaten at Windsor last time, and he remains without a win in five starts. He does have claims at today's trip and going and looks capable of better, but a wide draw and modest form make him tough to trust.

Comment

Mishy's Star made little impact in a below-par effort down the field at Bath most recent run, continuing a winless sequence across her last six starts. A drop in trip could bring an upturn, and she has raced over today's distance before, though questions remain about whether she can find enough.

Comment

Poet was never competitive from a poor start when well beaten at Chepstow last time, and he has finished behind every opponent since October. Rated bottom of this field on our figures, with the stable successful only once from its last twenty-two runners, he faces a tough task despite claims at today's trip and going.
