Sire: Lope De Vega (IRE)
Dam: Gallitea (IRE)
Damsire: Galileo (IRE)
Comment
Oviedo arrives in cracking form, a second last time out after back-to-back wins, and he has run over today's trip and going before. The main risk is a 30-day absence while carrying 130 lb from draw 7, though our rating of 71 still ranks him fourth of ten.

Comment
Fifth last time out and a third two starts back give Law of Design a solid platform, and he's back quickly after 10 days, having run over today's trip and going before. Yet he's winless in his last six, and our rating of 69 only ranks him seventh of ten from stall three.

Comment
Third last time out and only ten days ago, Hostility is fit and has won twice in his last six starts, though a ninth two starts back shows his consistency wavers. He has run over today's trip and going, but 133 lb off an official mark of 68 and our rating of 71 (fifth of ten) suggest a midfield bid from stall four.

Comment
Francesi has been well beaten in most of his recent runs, with a third three starts back the best of his last five and a win six starts back now a distant memory. He has run over today's trip and going, and a 24-day break is fine, but ranking ninth of ten on our figures makes him hard to fancy from stall 8.

Comment
Donna Nook is the one to beat: she was third last time out, and she was third again three starts back, having run over today's trip and on this going before. She is yet to win in her last six, but our rating of 79 tops the field, and a 29-day break should leave her fresh from stall 9.

Comment
Carolus Magnus arrives in good heart after finishing second last time out, and he has made the frame four times in his last six starts, including a win four starts back; he has run over today's trip and going. The main risk is a 31-day break, while he carries 131 lb off an official rating of 66.

Comment
Cypriot Diaspora has been consistent, third last time out and again two starts back, with a win three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Even so, our figures rank her only eighth of ten, and 133 lb from stall 1 leaves plenty to prove.

Comment
Dream Pirate was sixth last time out and a ninth two starts back, and he returns after 146 days off, so he's hard to fancy; a winner three starts back and experience of today's trip and going are in his favour, but our figures rank him tenth of ten.

Comment
Our rating of 74 ranks him second of 10, and he has run over today's trip and going before, but he comes here without a win in his last six and has finished a ninth last time out after 41 days off. The main risk is that recent form, with a fourth six starts back his best finish.

Comment
Up The Jazz is yet to win in his last six, though a second three starts back and another six starts back show he can get involved, and he has run over today's trip and going. Unplaced last time out and carrying 131 lb from stall five, he looks a midfield sort, with our rating of 69 only ranking him sixth of ten.
