Jockey: Rhys Clutterbuck
Trainer: Ralph Beckett
Kimpton, Hants
Owner: Disco Fever Syndicate
Breeding
Sire: Ulysses (IRE)
Dam: Disco Fever (GB)
Damsire: Oasis Dream (GB)
Comment
Calchas was third last time out, with a second two starts back and a third three starts back, so he is yet to win in his last four but is bang consistent; a 395-day absence and 133 lb from stall two temper things, though our rating of 74 sits just above his official 72.

Owner: Dr Jamal Ahmadzadeh Mrs D Swinburn
Breeding
Sire: Time Test (GB)
Dam: Sign Of Life (GB)
Damsire: Haafhd (GB)
Comment
Fifth last time out follows a second, and a winner three starts back, and another win four starts back, so Madjid's recent form is solid, and he has run over today's trip and is fresh from 16 days ago. Carrying 134 lb from draw 3, he sits only fifth of 12 on our rating of 77, which holds him back slightly.

Comment
Pure Moon, a gelding, was second twice before a seventh two starts back and then went unplaced last time, and he returns after 56 days off. He has run over today's trip and our rating of 76 ranks him seventh of 12, but he is yet to win in his last four starts, carrying 133 lb from stall 12.

Damsire: Oasis Dream (GB)
Comment
Beaten into seventh last time out and a fifth three starts back, Willow Wood has tailed off since her win four starts back, and she carries 130 lb from stall five. In her favour, she has run over today's trip and going, and a third two starts back shows she can still get involved.

Damsire: Thunder Gulch ()
Comment
Third last time out and a winner four starts back, Yokohama has run over today's trip and on this going before, and our rating of 84 ranks him second of 12 against an official 72; the one concern is a 38-day break since that latest run, with 138 lb to carry from stall seven.

Owner: Mrs S Thorpe
Breeding
Sire: Lope De Vega (IRE)

Damsire: Cape Cross (IRE)
Comment
Newtown Duke has finished a fourth last time out, and a third both two and three starts back, so he's been consistent since winning four starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 83 sits well above his official 72, but 138 lb from draw 11 is the main risk.

Comment
Arthur's Realm is without a win in his last five, finishing fifth last time out and fifth three starts back, but he has run over today's trip and going and returns after 27 days off. Our rating of 86 is the highest in the field, and he is the one to beat from stall 1 off 138 lb.

Comment
Lavender Gold won three starts back, but he has since finished unplaced and then an eighth last time out, and he returns after 43 days off. He has run on today's going and our rating of 76 ranks him sixth of twelve, so he looks a midfield sort carrying 135 lb from draw 8.

Jockey: Daniel Muscutt
Trainer: James Horton
Newmarket, Suffolk
Owner: Hamdani Racing And Partner 2
Breeding
Sire: Space Blues (IRE)
Dam: Neesaan (GB)
Damsire: New Approach (IRE)
Comment
Hamdania was beaten into eighth last time out, a step back after a second two starts back and a win three starts back, and that leaves her hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and is fresh enough after 18 days, but 135 lb from draw 6 and a 72 rating that ranks her eleventh of twelve make her a rank outsider.

Jockey: Tom Marquand
Trainer: David Menuisier
Pulborough, W Sussex
Owner: Lady Blyth
Breeding
Sire: Golden Horn (GB)
Dam: Astragal (GB)
Damsire: Shamardal (USA)
Comment
Astracornus brings solid recent form, a fourth last time out, a second two starts back, and a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip, with our rating of 79 ranking him fourth of twelve. The main risk is a 73-day absence, so fitness is the question from stall 10 under 135 lb.

Jockey: Jack Gilligan
Trainer: Sir Mark Prescott Bt
Newmarket, Suffolk
Owner: Christian Ayres Osborne House
Breeding
Sire: Australia (GB)
Dam: Sorelle Delle Rose (IRE)
Damsire: Dark Angel (IRE)
Comment
Pace Attack was sixth last time out, nine days ago, and his only win in recent starts came three starts back, so the form is patchy. A trainer in poor form (1/29) and a ninth-of-twelve ranking on our rating make him hard to fancy, though he has run over today's trip.

Jockey: Robert Havlin
Trainer: Amanda Perrett

Sire: Persian King (IRE)
Dam: Hulcote (GB)
Damsire: Frankel (GB)
Comment
Pershalla looks tough to fancy at the bottom of our ranking, with finishes of fifth, seventh and fifth in the three runs before her recent uptick, and she carries 130 lb after 40 days off. In her favour, she was third last time out, a winner two starts back, and has run over today's trip.
