Has an underwhelming strike-rate, given his ability, but he was second of 22 off a good mark over C&D eight days ago and would surely have gone very close had he not met trouble in running from well off the pace; the problems today are that he's back up 4lb, drawn even wider and has another big field to negotiate his way through; huge player but plenty needs to go right.

Second when favourite for this race in 2024, with mixed fortunes in her five subsequent C&D appearances but she was a creditable third last June; seen in regular action this year, including when second at Wetherby last month but not so good here eight days ago; her last two wins (2024 and this February) were in small fields, so others make more appeal today.

Odds-on for both starts and impressive each time, at Newcastle (7f, AW) last November and at Yarmouth (7f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; she could do with settling better now at 1m and others have more substance to their form, but she's in top hands (one of two for the yard) and it's hard to identify where the ceiling of her ability will sit; not ruled out.

Speedily bred filly who prevailed at Thirsk (5f, good) last month where she beat Lake Muritz and contributed to her stable's bright start with 2yos this season; the type to go well in this bigger prize.

While form since has not quite reached the heights of 2024, he's still been pretty reliable and got back on the scoresheet at Meydan (1m6f Group 3) in February; third in a 2m Group 2 there in March when last seen; wore cheekpieces on last four starts; should be thereabouts.

Seven races and improved with each one; raised to Group 1 last autumn for his only defeats, when second in the 1m6f Irish St Leger and fourth in the 1m4f Breeders' Cup Turf; one of the top two on form and should have a big shout.

Fourth in the 2024 Derby and St Leger; however, well held in Saudi Arabia and Dubai on his only two starts last year, left Owen Burrows for 16,000gns last October, gelded and never dangerous in 2m Ascot Group 3 (150-1) on return, so he seems to be swimming against the tide in this good race.

Broadly progressive on a range of ground in his first season last year, despite being 0-6 after debut success; beaten a neck from off the pace in the St Leger at Doncaster (14.5f, soft) on final start; that makes him one of the form picks in today's field and, although this trip may eventually turn out to be shorter than ideal, he should be a big player.

Won the C&D Melrose Handicap (good to firm) last August, before the St Leger proved too tough; gelded soon after and creditable third in Saudi Arabia (1m7f) in February, but he needs to bounce back with a big career best after his heavy defeat in 2m Ascot Group 3 (9-1) two weeks ago.

Last season's standout performance was a 12-1 Listed win at Ayr (5f) in September on his sole encounter with soft ground; however, that performance has been an outlier and he's on a tough mark judged on the rest of his form; gelded since latest start last month.

She's improved with each of her three runs for this yard and did well to defy a tricky passage to win at Southwell (5f, AW) last month; based on that evidence a 6lb rise may well not stop her this afternoon, and the expected strong gallop will be a positive for this headstrong filly.
