      Vaguely Royal

      6/1

      SR:86 is the second-highest in the field, Buick's 25% strike rate is a hard signal to ignore, and recent form shows a win two back. Main danger to Cranachan.

      Ran just 11 days ago and posted consistent form — 343341 shows a genuine stayer who finds a way into the money. SR:78 limits the ceiling but the freshness could count late.

      Pilu

      17/2

      SR 95 matches Ironwill, distance and going both read plus, and back-to-back wins in the form string with Roger Teal's yard running at 20% makes this the main threat.

      Far Above Dream

      7/2

      Highest SR in the field at 99 and a steamer to 7/2, but 11lb weight rise to 9-12 is a punishing ask and James Owen's yard is running at just 7%.

      Northcliff

      14/1

      Won last time out, Jane Chapple-Hyam's yard is scorching at 33% from nine runners, but a going tag of minus and a two-class rise limit confidence in a finishing slot.

      Galiyan

      Guildmaster

      28/1

      SR:70 makes a win a stiff ask, but Gosden yard at 25% and Buick in the plate at 28/1 is a place-market flicker worth acknowledging — not winning, but not irrelevant.

      Tex

      SR 91 is class of the field, distance and going both tick green, last run a win at 2/1F — the favourite has every right to finish in the frame and will press hard.
