Winner two starts back, and I Ready returns on a sharp 17-day turnaround from stall 1 carrying 140 lb, with experience of today's distance and going in his favour. Our rating of 84 tops the nine-runner field, making him the one to beat despite the trainer's lean spell.

SR 78 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Twice runner-up in his last three completed starts, Banks Of The Boyne arrives here fit on a 17-day turnaround with distance and going experience to call on, and his rating places him right among the principals — though he remains winless and will need to finally convert.

Shesthedevil landed a win two starts back but has since disappointed with a sixth, and while she has run over today's trip and going before, her our rating of 75 leaves her with something to find on the bare form carrying 138 lb from stall 7.

High Morals ran a solid second two starts back and returns on a quick turnaround of just 16 days, with experience of today's distance and going working in his favour; the risk is that he has been winless in recent starts and must bounce back from an unplaced effort last time.

Celestial Crown has experience over today's trip and going, and her second four starts back offers a platform, but she has been winless in recent starts with finishes of seventh, eighth and seventh suggesting she needs to find more to make a serious impact from draw nine off 129 lb.

Winless in her last three starts and ranked eighth of nine on our figures, Away And Gone faces a stiff ask here; she has run over today's trip and going before, and a 46-day break plus draw three are the best angles on offer.

Winless in his last three starts, with a pair of sevenths before a fourth last time out, Howlin Wolf is hard to fancy from a ranking of seventh of nine, though he has experience of today's distance and going and returns after a 44-day break with conditions at least familiar.

Consistent placed efforts mark Mr Montauk out as a genuine threat here — third two starts back and a runner-up last time out, returning on a snappy 11-day turnaround having run over today's trip and going before, with our rating of 77 suggesting he's well ahead of his official mark; the risk is he remains yet to win in recent starts.

Shesthedevil (SR:73, 15/2) is the only runner in the field with confirmed going fit (GoingFit:+) on today's good ground AND confirmed distance fit (DistFit:+) over 6f — a rare double-tick in a field where most rivals are flagged GoingFit:- or GoingFit:?. The market has shortened 14% since opening, signalling informed money coming in despite the price staying near double figures. Her form reads 8-7-1-6 right-to-left, meaning her last completed run was a win, which is the most recent evidence of ability at this level. Patrick Magee's 10% strike rate is modest but the jockey booking (Jack Kearney) is consistent, and the combination of going/distance suitability in a field largely lacking both is a meaningful edge.
Each-way alternative: Mr Montauk.
Main danger: Mr Montauk — Mr Montauk (SR:78, 11/4) is the joint-top rated alongside I Ready and Banks Of The Boyne, carries the lightest weight in the field at 8-8, is trained by the yard with the highest overall strike rate here (Joseph O'Brien, 15%), and his last-run second suggests he is bang in form — GoingFit:- is the one concern but light weight on good ground reduces that penalty considerably.

Shesthedevil has a SR of 73, meaningfully below the three horses rated SR:78 (I Ready, Banks Of The Boyne, Mr Montauk) — she is outrated by multiple rivals on raw ability measure.
Jack Kearney holds a 5% strike rate (185 rides), making him one of the weaker jockey bookings in the field versus Ben Coen (12%), Oisin Murphy (21%), and Dylan Browne McMonagle (15%) on rivals.
Her form reads 8-7-1-6 right-to-left, meaning her most recent run was a sixth — the win was two runs ago, and she has regressed since that career best, raising a recency-of-form concern.
Mr Montauk (11/4 market leader, SR:78, 3-star rating, ran just 11 days ago) represents significantly fresher, higher-rated opposition with a top stable (J P O'Brien, 15% SR) that she must overcome.
