Managing Director D
4yo ch Gelding (IRE)Connections
Jockey: P. J. McDonald
Trainer: Geoff Oldroyd
Pocklington, N Yorks
Owner: Bond Thoroughbred Limited
Breeding
Sire: Cotai Glory (GB)
Dam: Fondled (GB)
Damsire: Selkirk (USA)
Comment
Placed second and third in recent starts, Managing Director brings solid each-way claims having run over today's trip, and his rating of 79 ranks him second among these seven; the concern is he's been winless in his last five and was unplaced last time out just 16 days ago.

Upper Helmsley, N Yorks
Owner: Georginio Rutter Jinky Farms
Breeding
Sire: Mehmas (IRE)
Dam: Desert Mission (IRE)
Damsire: Shamardal (USA)
Comment
Winless in his last six starts, Goyard nonetheless shaped with promise when fourth four starts back and offers solid claims here from stall one carrying 135 lb, with experience over today's trip and going a further boost; the main risk is his return just three days ago.

Jockey: Rossa Ryan
Trainer: Clive Cox
Lambourn, Berks
Owner: J A Young Racing Limited
Breeding
Sire: Sioux Nation (USA)
Dam: Dutch Courage (GB)
Damsire: Dutch Art (GB)
Comment
A winner last time out gives Courageous Sioux a live form line, but the 80-day absence and a rating six points below her official mark make her hard to fancy at the foot of the field, with the distance experience her one genuine tick in the column.

Owner: Thames Ceilings Ltd
Breeding
Sire: Cable Bay (IRE)
Dam: Holloa (GB)
Damsire: Acclamation (GB)
Comment
Hanney Girl shaped with plenty of promise when second last time out, and having run over today's distance and going she arrives here well placed on conditions; winless in her last six starts is the one caveat, but her rating of 83 marks her as the one to beat from stall seven.

Rogue Bullet D

Jockey: Luke Morris
Trainer: James Owen
Newmarket, Suffolk
Owner: The Rogues Gallery
Breeding
Sire: Mehmas (IRE)
Dam: Hope And Faith (IRE)
Damsire: Zebedee (GB)
Comment
Rogue Bullet shaped with real promise when second two starts back and third three starts back, and he has experience of today's distance and going in his favour; the worry is whether he can bounce back after finishing eighth last time out.

Sire: Harry Angel (IRE)
Dam: She Can Boogie (IRE)
Damsire: Dandy Man (IRE)
Comment
Winless in her last three starts, with a fifth last time out and a third three starts back, Dance of Angels also returns after a 147-day absence, and our rating of 61 leaves her looking well held at the foot of the rankings despite experience over today's trip and going.

Jockey: Sean Kirrane

Owner: Dods Racing Club
Breeding
Sire: Coulsty (IRE)
Dam: Brazilian Breeze (IRE)
Damsire: Invincible Spirit (IRE)
Comment
Brazilian Belle won two of her last five starts but has been beaten in each of her last two outings, and 129 days off the track is a significant fitness query; she has run over today's trip and going before, and 133 lb from stall two is the hand she plays.
