Knightsbridge has won two of his last five starts, with back-to-back victories two and three starts back giving him solid recent form, and he has run over today's trip and going before; the main concern is a 42-day absence and a hefty 163 lb to carry.

Flashy Boy arrives on the back of a third last time out and a win five starts back, bringing solid recent form into this contest; he has run over today's trip and going, and at 142 lb the weight burden is the one factor he must overcome.

Premier Fantasy shaped well when second three starts back and winner four starts back, and his third last time out keeps him in fine heart; experience over today's trip and going suits, and he looks the one to beat off 168 lb.

Pulled up last time out after winning two starts back, Lynsey Larue arrives 75 days later carrying 146 lb and ranked last on our figures, making her hard to fancy despite having experience on today's going.
