Huscal arrives in excellent nick, winning last time out and placing in two of his three most recent starts, and he has experience of both today's trip and conditions; drawn in stall one carrying 131 lb is the factor to weigh.

Philanthropist shaped with real promise when runner-up last time out, and having already shown experience over today's trip and conditions, he arrives here fit on a 30-day break carrying 130 lb; the risk is that his two starts back yielded an unplaced effort that questions his consistency.

Comment
Winless in his last six starts, The Angel King nonetheless finished second two starts back and shaped with more promise than his overall record suggests; he has experience of today's trip and going, and his rating of 93 gives him an edge over his rivals, though the trainer's lean spell is worth a note.

Ranked last on our figures and returning from a 71-day break, Zabeel Alkabeir is hard to fancy despite two wins in his last four starts; he has experience of today's distance and going, but a speed rating of 75 leaves him with plenty to find.

Third two starts back and fourth on his most recent outing, Christian David arrives on decent fitness at 27 days, with experience over today's trip and going and a rating of 90 to underpin his claims — though a winless recent run of six and a trainer operating at just 4% are real concerns.
