Sire: Churchill (IRE)

Comment
Winston's Oath arrives in cracking nick, a winner last time out and a second two starts back, just ten days after that success. He has run over today's trip and going before, though 159 lb is a hefty burden, and our figures rank him second of twelve.

Comment
Ballylicky Bay arrives in solid form, third last time out, a second two starts back, and a third three starts back, after 21 days off, and she has run over today's trip and going. Yet to win in her last five and carrying 159 lb off 85, she looks more of a placer than a winner.

Comment
Dante's Inferno is hard to fancy after unseating last time out, and he is winless in his last five, with a second two starts back his only sign of promise. He has run over today's trip and going and is back quickly after 11 days, but 154 lb is a big ask, and our 77 ranks him tenth of twelve.

Comment
Winless in his last five, Anxious Moments has finished sixth, ninth and sixth in his latest three outings, and he's hard to fancy off 145 lb with an official mark of 72. He has run over today's trip and going and comes back after 23 days, but our figures rank him 11th of 12.

Comment
Bluey Bay was a fourth last time out, but he was pulled up two starts back and is yet to win in his last five, so consistency is a question. He has run on today's going, returns after 33 days, and carries 163 lb off 89, with our rating of 87 ranking him fifth of 12.

Comment
Fifth last time out, a seventh two starts back and a third three starts back show Nala The Lioness is consistent without being quite good enough, though she has run on today's going and returns after 25 days. Carrying 156 lb off 82 is a stiff ask, and our rating of 86 leaves her seventh of twelve.

Comment
Golden Garden has run to a consistent level with a fifth last time out, a fifth two starts back and a sixth three starts back, and he returns fresh after 23 days with experience of today's going. Our rating ranks him third of 12, but he's yet to win in that spell and carries 164 lb.

Comment
Yet to win in his last five starts, Am Still Here was fifth last time out after a third, a second, a third and a second, so he keeps finding a couple too good. Carrying 155 lb, he has run over today's trip and going, but ranks ninth of twelve on our figures.

Damsire: Midnight Legend (GB)
Comment
Fourth last time out and a third three starts back give Pippin's Legend a solid recent profile, and he has run on today's going before, carrying 166 lb off a mark of 94. The main risk is a 196-day absence, so fitness is the question.

Comment
Our top-rated runner at 95 against an official mark of 88, he has run on today's going and was second five starts back, though the risk is clear: he is winless in his last five and was eighth last time out, 39 days ago, under 162 lb.

Comment
Dusky Spyglass is winless in her last four, with a fifth last time out, a pulled up two starts back and a fourth three starts back, though she has run on today's going before. Our rating of 86 sits well above her official 74, but 148 lb and a 34-day break leave plenty to prove.

Comment
Celine Man is hard to fancy: he was eighth last time out after three pulled-up efforts before that, and he returns from 236 days off. He has run over today's trip and his official rating is 69, but 145 lb is a big ask and our rating of 58 ranks him last of 12.
