Cilician shaped with plenty of promise when runner-up last time out, and with experience over today's trip and going he arrives in good shape on a 13-day turnaround; yet to win in recent starts is the caveat, but our rating of 93 marks him out as a serious threat from stall 8 off 128 lb.

SR 71 suggests ability but 28/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Fuel The Jet won last time out and was ninth two starts back, though a winner three starts back gives his record a more positive look; he has run over today's trip and going, and 128 lb from stall seven is the key query at a rating of 90.

SR 101 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, giving him live claims on a retrieval of that form; however, he carries 128 lb from stall six and a rating of 92 leaves him ranked fifth of nine, so he faces a stiff test against the upper echelon here.

Rated 7 of 9 on our figures and carrying 128 lb, Jimtrott is hard to fancy at face value, though he does bring a win last time out and has run over today's trip, at least offering some recent momentum heading in.

Ranked bottom of nine on our figures, Mezzo Forte faces a stiff ask, though he does arrive off a win last time out and has run over today's trip and going before, giving him some experience to call upon from stall 5 carrying 128 lb.

Notable Dream won two starts back and was third three starts back, giving him a solid platform heading into this, and with experience of today's distance and going, he appeals on profile despite a 75-day absence.

Sontsivka won last time out and was second two starts back, so recent form reads well enough, but he ranks eighth of nine on our figures and that gulf in class makes him very hard to fancy despite his experience over today's trip.

Undiscovered has back-to-back wins three and four starts back, retains experience over today's trip and going, and returns fit on a 14-day turnaround carrying 128 lb from stall two; the worry is that two unplaced efforts since those victories leave his current form under scrutiny.

Varzi won two starts back and was runner-up three starts back, so he arrives in excellent recent heart; drawn from stall nine carrying 128 lb, the main question is whether last time's fifth represented a blip or a warning sign.

Fuel The Jet (SR 101, 13/2) is the highest-rated runner in the field and arrives on the back of a form string reading 5191 — a win last time out that followed a Group victory in the sequence, showing genuine progression at this level. Crucially, the market has steamed in 30% since opening, which is the strongest market signal in the entire field and suggests connections and informed money are confident stepping up in class. Tom Clover's 16% strike rate and Neil Callan's 14% are workmanlike but respectable, and the proven distance fit (DistFit:+) is an important edge in a seven-furlong Group 3 where several rivals have question marks at the trip. The MarkMv:+6 is a modest concern but does not offset the combination of top SR, strong market move, proven trip, and recent winning form.
Each-way alternative: Great Balls O'Fire.
Main danger: Great Balls O'Fire — Great Balls O'Fire (SR 99, 5/2) is the market's favourite, trained by Richard Spencer and ridden by Saffie Osborne, and a dominant debut winner — if that maiden form reads well in hindsight after this Group 3, its single run of '1' could represent untapped ability that makes it the likeliest horse to beat Fuel The Jet.
