Trainer: George Baker
Epsom Downs, Surrey
Owner: Miss Tess Hoppeler
Breeding
Sire: Protectionist (GER)
Dam: Power Surge (GER)
Damsire: Le Havre (IRE)
Comment
Power of Prayer is yet to win in her last five starts, though a third three starts back shows she can pick up a cheque, and she has run over today's trip. Back-to-back seventh-placed efforts and 149 lb on an official mark of 50 hold her back after 39 days off.

Comment
Nelson Gate showed he can go close with a second four and five starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 58 ranks him fourth of 13. The main risk is a 119-day absence after three modest runs since, with 155 lb to carry.

Comment
Molly Valentine is yet to win in her last five starts, with a seventh four starts back the best of a modest recent run, though 28 days' rest is a plus. Our rating of 54 sits above her official 50, but carrying 149 lb and ranked eighth of 13 leaves plenty to prove.

Comment
Cougar is hard to fancy, winless in his last six with an unplaced effort last time out and a ninth two starts back, and he carries a hefty 149 lb off an official mark of 50. He has run over today's trip and is fit enough after 20 days, but our rating ranks him 11th of 13.

Sire: Soldier Hollow (GB)

Comment
Si White was a winner four starts back and a third three starts back, but he has since slipped to a fifth and then a sixth last time out, and he returns after 55 days off. He has run over today's trip and carries 152 lb off 59, so he looks a midfield sort.

Dam: Vasoni (IRE)
Damsire: Redback (GB)
Comment
Wrist Art was second last time out and returns after 28 days, having run over today's trip and on this going, but a fifth and an eighth in the two runs before that show his inconsistency. Carrying 149 lb off 50, he looks a mid-pack type, with our rating of 54 ranking him seventh of 13.

Comment
Good Onya Mate has been consistent without a win, with a third two starts back and a second six runs ago, and he has run over today's trip before. Our rating of 63 ranks him second of 13, but a seventh last time out and a yard in cold form (1/22) are the worries.

Comment
Freewheelin is winless in his last five, with finishes of sixth last time out, eighth, eighth, seventh and unplaced, so he is hard to fancy at 145 lb off an official rating of 41. He has run over today's trip and is 27 days since his last run, but our figures rank him last of 13.

Comment
Kotari is the one to beat, having finished second two starts back and fresh from a run just 15 days ago, with experience over today's trip and going. He is yet to win in recent form, but our rating of 71 tops the field and sits well clear of his official mark of 60.

Comment
A Daughters Love is winless in her last six, finishing eighth last time out after a sixth and a fifth before that, though she has run over today's trip and going and returns after just 16 days. Carrying 151 lb off an official mark of 58 looks a stiff ask, though our rating ranks her fifth of 13.

Comment
Port of Entry has finished ninth in his last two outings, and he is winless in his last five starts, which makes him hard to fancy. Quick back out after 14 days, he runs off a lowly mark of 50, though 149 lb is a hefty burden and our rating of 46 ranks him 12th of 13.

Sire: Without Parole (GB)
Dam: Oasis Joy (GB)

Comment
Caledonian Dream is winless in his last five, finishing ninth last time out, and was only a sixth three starts back, so he is hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and is back quickly after seven days, but 145 lb is a big burden for a horse rated 50 by us and tenth of 13.
