Trailing 5 1/4 lengths here 14 days ago and ranked bottom on our figures, Echo Of Faith's most effective form has come over longer trips — up to a mile — and he arguably needs softer ground to show his best; an eye-catching jockey booking adds a small note of optimism.
Winless in his last six starts and well held at Sandown 17 days ago, beaten over five lengths, Carbine Harvester is suited by this trip and fast ground and wears a tongue-tie for the first time; the trainer is in good form of late but our figures rank him ninth of eleven and a significant uplift is required.

Inconsistent form (570736) and a high weight of 9-13 undermine confidence despite accessible 13/2 odds.
Cheekpieces applied for the first time, and while Amazonian Dream was well held here 14 days ago off a 2lb higher mark, he handles this trip and any going, and our top rating in the field gives him a clear edge; a top local jockey is a notable plus as he bids to go one better.

Carrying top weight of 9-13 with inconsistent form (320357) and a modest Saturday Rating of 73 limits confidence despite fair 4/1 odds.
Consistent and in good heart, Lequinto placed third 17 days ago off his current mark and clearly takes to this course; he usually settles well towards the rear before finishing with purpose on fast ground, though our figures put him mid-field in this competitive company.

Carrying top weight of 9-13 with a modest Saturday Rating of 74, Lequinto's inconsistent form of 223133 at 6/1 limits confidence.
Third last time off 73 — a mark 1lb above today's — Mumayaz is still handily placed in the weights and handles a variety of conditions over trips from 5f to 7f; consistent on his day and competitive here on a rating he can run to, though our figures place him mid-field.

Absent for 259 days — a significant layoff — Trafalger was slow to break last time at Yarmouth and beaten over seven lengths; wearing a hood for the first time, he acts on a sound surface and the current mark could prove workable if he returns fit and steps away promptly.

Carrying top weight of 9-10 with a lowly Saturday Rating of 56 and weak 16/1 odds signals limited winning prospects.
Akabusi wears a tongue-tie and blinkers together for the first time and is 2lb lower than when struggling from the rear last time; he has winning form at 6f on a sound surface and the headgear combination with a lower mark provides a reasonable basis for a step forward.

Akabusi's inconsistent form (488148), high 9-9 weight, and unfancied 14/1 odds suggest limited winning prospects with a modest 69 Saturday Rating.
Fourth beaten 5l over this trip last time off today's mark, Northcliff wears a visor for the first time and is clearly at his best on quick going, which suits; the official rating looks fair enough and he has a realistic shout with conditions in his favour, though consistency has been an issue.

Carrying top weight of 9-8 with a lowly Saturday Rating of 63 and poor recent form of -00814 at 10/1 makes Northcliff unconvincing.
Second in our figures and showing form that held up well when pitched in quickly under a penalty last time, Yachtsman has a 39-day freshener behind him and dons a tongue-tie for the first time; 1lb lower than that outing, he looks capable of going close with a clear round.

Yachtsman's mid-table Saturday Rating of 71 and inconsistent form (-34714) justify 3/5 stars despite fair 13/2 odds.
Fourth-rated on our numbers, Monsieur Patat was just half a length adrift at Newbury only six days ago at this exact mark and is versatile over ground; yet to get his head in front in recent starts, but the form he brings from that near-miss effort is strong and he merits respect.

Inclined to race keenly and unable to find extra when put under pressure at Sandown 17 days ago, Robert Anstruther is winless in his last five starts and our figures place him tenth of eleven; stepping down to the minimum trip today could suit if he settles, but a meaningful improvement is needed.

Amazonian Dream owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (41) and market confidence (79). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.

Lequinto (SR 74, 6/1, 9-13) is the top-rated horse in the field and arrives in the best recent form, with a 223133 string showing three consecutive top-three finishes including a win last time out — the strongest consistent pattern here. At age 9 Tony Carroll has clearly found a race to suit, and the 6f12y trip on Good to Firm at Windsor is a standard sprint-handicap condition that a consistent performer like this handles well. The 9-13 burden is shared by three rivals but Lequinto's SR 74 is the highest in the field, giving a genuine ability edge at the same weight as Amazonian Dream (SR 73) and Carbine Harvester (SR 69). At 6/1 the market has not over-bet this selection, leaving fair each-way value.
Each-way alternative: Monsieur Patat.
Main danger: Amazonian Dream — Amazonian Dream (SR 73, 4/1) is the market leader with three-star AI probability, carries identical weight to Lequinto, and a 320357 form string that includes recent placed efforts — the market confidence at 4/1 suggests connections and punters see a live chance on Good to Firm ground.
