Fresh off a win 11 days ago, I Ready has experience of today's distance and going and arrives in form carrying 140 lb from stall 7; the main risk is that his three starts before that victory brought an eighth, fifth and sixth.

SR 71 suggests ability but 17/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Winless in his last three starts — second last time out but unplaced and eighth in the two prior runs — Banks Of The Boyne carries 139 lb from stall eight, and our rating of 68 leaves him well held against this field on current form.

SR 68 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 11/1.
Winless in his last three starts, Bold Commander does bring going and distance experience to the table, and that second two starts back shows he can mix it at this level; the fifth last time out, however, suggests he's one to approach with caution from stall 4 off 139 lb.

SR 78 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Winless in his last four starts, Seven Nation Army showed signs of life with a runner-up finish last time out, 11 days ago — fitness isn't an issue. He has experience of today's trip and going, and a trainer firing at 28%, though stall one and 137 lb are notable factors.

Margot Mae showed her best when third two starts back, and having run over today's trip and going, she arrives here fresh on 21 days' rest carrying 136 lb from stall three; winless in her last three, but her rating of 90 marks her as the one to beat.

Celtic Moon arrives on the back of a win last time out, has experience of today's trip and conditions, and her rating of 85 suggests she's well treated; the sole concern is a trainer who has drawn a blank in 23 attempts over the past fortnight.

Winless in his last four starts, Eighteenth Smiles nevertheless brings strong fitness from 19 days ago, has run over today's trip and going, and a trainer firing at 28% makes him a live threat — though another unplaced effort last time is the chief concern.

Winnie's Wish has been well beaten in each of his last three starts, including two eighths, and ranked bottom on our figures here, he is hard to fancy at the weights; the trainer's recent strike rate offers little encouragement either, though he has run over today's trip and going before.

Celtic Moon owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (44) and market confidence (88). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.

Celtic Moon (SR:80, 5/2) carries the joint-highest SR in the field on the lowest weight among the top-rated horses at 9-9, a meaningful pound advantage over Bold Commander and Seven Nation Army. Her form of '41' — placed and then winning last time out — is the most progressive and compact sequence in this field, and JP Murtagh's yard (11% strike rate) has booked Ben Coen (12%, 660 rides), a booking that signals stable confidence. While GoingFit and DistFit are both unproven (?), the same uncertainty applies to most rivals here, neutralising that concern; at 5/2 she represents solid each-way value with upside.
Each-way alternative: Bold Commander.
Main danger: Bold Commander — Bold Commander (SR:78, 3/1) is trained by Aidan O'Brien and has steamed in 14% in the market — the strongest market move in the race — suggesting informed confidence that his '525' form line is about to improve at this trip.
