Consistent place-getter who has run over today's trip and going, and a rating of 108 sees him share top billing, though connections will need to explain away that pulled-up effort 22 days ago; winless in recent starts but capable of better.

SR 79 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.
Playful Fox arrives on the back of a win last time out, and his recent record shows two wins in his last six starts with a second two starts back — a live profile at this trip and going, though carrying 175 lb after racing just yesterday is the obvious stamina test.

SR 84 suggests ability but - reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Showed a clear peak with a win three starts back and a second two starts back, but a seventh last time out dents confidence; he has run over today's trip and going, carries 167 lb on an official mark of 101, and looks a midfield proposition ranked seventh of fourteen.

Kernie d'Airy won two starts back and has experience of today's trip and conditions, giving her solid claims at a mark of 100; the main concern is whether she can recapture that form after finishing fifth last time out.

Winless in her last five starts and returning after 139 days off, Graecia does at least have experience over today's trip and going to call on, and a second two starts back shows she can threaten; the weight of 163 lb, however, is a stern ask.

Mojo Ego has run over today's trip and going, and a win two starts back is the obvious plus, though sixth last time out and a tendency to fill the minor positions infrequently in recent starts suggest he faces a stiff ask off 161 lb here.

Third last time out after winning two starts back, Raffles Nobu has distance and going experience in his favour, but a mark of 91 and 157 lb are stiff asks for a gelding ranked mid-division, and he'll need to improve on his recent efforts to get involved.

Cawthorne Banker (SR 101, 9/2) carries 11-6 and arrives on the back of a sharp P-5211 form line — two consecutive wins giving the most recent, race-fit form in the field. GoingFit:+ and DistFit:+ confirm this trip on good ground suits ideally, and ClassMv:= means no class hurdle to clear. Jonjo O'Neill Jr. (20% strike rate, 69 career rides — a positive booking) and the Jonjo O'Neill yard (13%, 145 runners) add respectable connections. At 9/2 with no market drift, the price looks fair for the class-leader on proven going and distance.
Each-way alternative: Crown Of India.
Main danger: Crown Of India — Crown Of India (SR 103, 11/2) is the field's highest SR, carries a GoingFit:+ confirmation, holds excellent Course:W1P2 form at Worcester, has steamed in 14% in the market, and with Kielan Woods (13%) booking represents the Alex Hales yard's clear number-one runner — a combination of course specialist and market confidence makes it the most credible threat.
