Eupator shaped with clear promise when third two starts back, and has run over today's trip and going, giving him solid claims as a leading danger here at 138 lb from stall eight; the risk is he has been winless in recent starts and must find improvement on his latest sixth.

Epictetus showed his quality when winning three starts back, and a third four starts back underlines his consistency; he has experience of today's distance and going, carries a workable 136 lb, and 19 days between runs leaves him spot on, though his last two outings have both disappointed.

Winless in his last five starts, though a third two runs back offers some encouragement, and he has run over today's trip and going before; 133 lb from stall six is no small ask for a gelding rated 73 officially, and last time out's unplaced effort gives pause.

Winless in his last six starts and out of the frame on his most recent outings, Copper Knight faces a stiff task from stall two, though he has run over today's trip and going before and carries a workable 124 lb, with our rating of 83 suggesting some unexploited ability.

Winless in her last six starts, Over Spiced has been placed repeatedly without getting her head in front, and ranking last of 13 on our figures makes her very hard to fancy; that said, she has run over today's trip and going before, and returns on a quick 11-day turnaround in decent enough form.

Blue Prince was third last time out and showed smart form with a win four starts back, and our rating of 90 suggests he retains strong claims here; carrying 138 lb from stall 3 over a trip and going he has encountered before, the main risk is reproducing that level after back-to-back sevenths in between.

Winless in his last five starts, Diligent Resdev nevertheless catches the eye on a our rating of 88 that comfortably outstrips his official mark of 78, and he has run over today's distance and going before; the worry is that his recent finishes offer little encouragement that he can translate that latent ability into a timely effort here.

Yet to score in his last six starts, First Time does at least bring distance experience and a run just 13 days ago to the table, while a rating of 87 offers some encouragement; the trainer's current 3% strike rate from stall one at 131 lb makes the case harder to press.
