Gore Point has winning form in his last five starts but our figures rank him fifth of six here, and 163 lb is a stiff weight burden to overcome; he does arrive with strong recent momentum and experience of today's trip and going.

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Gower Prince is hard to fancy against stronger company, though he arrives on the back of a win last time out, has run over today's trip and going, and his recent form — a second two starts back and a second three starts back — shows consistency.

Breaking Cover arrives as the top-rated runner in this field, and his experience over today's trip and going stands him in good stead; the concern is that he has finished fourth in each of his last two starts, and his 168 lb burden makes a return to winning ways far from straightforward.

Obsessedwithyou has won twice and finished second three times in her last five starts, a record of dogged consistency, and she has experience of both today's trip and the going; the main concern is 39 days off the track, leaving her fitness to prove.

Centara has experience of today's distance and going, and a win in his recent starts — that victory coming five starts back — though his form since has been patchy, with a pulled up effort in the mix. Carrying 166 lb after 39 days off, he arrives fresh enough to outrun his recent figures.
