Placed third two and three starts back, Great Bedwyn brings solid recent form into this, and his experience over today's trip and going is a clear asset; winless in his last six, though a rating of 94 gives him a strong case as the one to beat here, trainer's current run of form aside.

SR 89 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Son Of Man arrives here fit on a 14-day turnaround, has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 91 marks him out as a leading threat from stall 2; the risk is that his recent form has turned patchy, with just one win in his last six starts.

SR 60 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 28/1.
Winless in his last five starts and returning after 73 days off, Macari does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, but back-to-back eighth-place finishes latest out are a concern, even if a second three runs back shows he can hit form.

SR 57 suggests ability but 25/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
A near year-long absence makes John T very difficult to trust here, and ranked seventh of nine on our figures the profile offers little encouragement; he does return to familiar distance and going conditions, and that winning effort last time out at least shows ability, but fitness must be a serious doubt.

Brigid's Well has run over today's going and, rated 91, ranks third of nine — making her a credible threat despite being winless in her last five starts, though a trainer striking at just 4% over the past fortnight is the one concern.

King Of Berkshire shaped well when second last time out and has winning form in his last six starts, with experience over today's trip and going in his favour; the 132 lb burden and a 37-day absence are the questions he must answer.

Parisian Scholar shaped with real promise when second last time out, and he has experience of both today's trip and conditions — the main question is whether he can recapture that form after an unplaced effort the start before.

Winless in his last five starts and returning from a 185-day absence, Zarakerjack faces an uphill task, with his trainer hitting just 4% over the past fortnight; he has run over today's trip and going before, and stall three is his draw.

King Of Berkshire (SR:95, 7/4) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin and drops a class (ClassMv:↓1), which combined with proven DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ at today's trip and going bucket makes this a compelling profile. The market has backed him in 20% since opening, reinforcing confidence, and Andrew Balding's 18% career strike rate is the strongest trainer figure in the field. The Course:W0P1 at Windsor and a recent form string of 131342 show consistent competitiveness at this level and above — the '2' last time is a solid effort that sets him up well for a drop in class. The MarkMv:+6 is the only mild concern, but the class relief and superior SR absorb that comfortably.
Each-way alternative: Great Bedwyn.
Main danger: Brigid's Well — Brigid's Well (SR:87, 9/2) has steamed in 24% in the market, wears a tongue-tie for the first time, carries a featherweight 9-8, and Hugo Palmer's 13% strike rate backs a yard that deploys first-time headgear with intent — if the tongue-tie unlocks improvement, this 3yo could be competitive at a live price.
