Consistent and lively in her last two outings — second last time out and third two starts back — Musical Angel has experience over today's trip and going, and her rating edges above the official mark; the risk is that she remains winless in recent starts.

SR 81 suggests ability but 5/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Winless in her last six starts and with a trainer currently out of form, Bridget's View nonetheless brings fitness on side at 32 days between runs, has run over today's trip and going, and her rating of 83 suggests more ability than her official mark of 78 gives her credit for.

SR 67 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 10/1.
Wreck It Ryley bounces back from an unplaced effort 22 days ago with experience of today's distance and going in his favour, and our rating ranks him top of the field — though he remains winless in recent starts and will need to convert that promise at last.

SR 74 suggests ability but 9/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Fifth last time out tempers the case for Silver Trumpet, though he does boast a runner-up finish two starts back and has run over today's trip and going before; a trainer firing at just 3% in the last 14 days is a concern, but he returns after 17 days carrying 136 lb from stall 5.

SR 82 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Velvet Rhythm showed she can hit the frame, with a third last time out and a winner six starts back, but a seventh two starts back clouds the picture; she has run over today's trip and going, and 133 lb from stall 10 are the variables to weigh on her return just nine days later.

Havana Smile brings going and distance experience to this, and third two starts back shows he retains ability, but an unseated last time and a trainer firing at just 5% in the past fortnight are real concerns carrying 132 lb from stall 8.

SR 59 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 12/1.
Winless in her last six starts despite three runner-up finishes in that spell, Eazy On The Eye's latest effort was a seventh and our figures rank her eighth of ten here, making her hard to fancy despite the experience over today's trip and going.

Fresh Fade has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 79 puts him ahead of his official mark — a genuine threat to the principals; the main concern is that he is winless in his last five starts.

Winless in his last six starts, with finishes no better than fourth in recent outings, Middleton View is hard to fancy at a rating of 68 ranked ninth of ten, and a trainer currently running at just five per cent makes the task harder still, despite experience over today's trip and going.

Musical Angel (SR:81, 5/2) is the highest-rated runner in the field and carries 10-0, which is only 2lb above Silver Trumpet's 9-10 — a manageable burden given the 1-SR advantage. The market has shortened 7% since opening, reflecting quiet but meaningful confidence, and the horse has proven distance credentials (DistFit:+) alongside course placing form (W0P2 at Epsom). The recent form string -58632 shows consistent competitiveness at this class level (ClassMv:=) and the 1lb mark drop (MarkMv:-1) is a minor but welcome tailwind. Simon Dow at 11% with Harry Davies at 13% are modest but functional connections, and no red flags emerge on going (GoingFit:~) or trip.
Each-way alternative: Silver Trumpet.
Main danger: Silver Trumpet — Silver Trumpet (SR:82, 4/1) is the joint-highest SR in the field, has shortened 8% in the market, wears blinkers for the first time (HG:b), and carries the same weight as Wreck It Ryley at 9-10 — those blinkers applied fresh often spark a career-best performance and could tip the balance against Musical Angel.
