Almarada Prince shaped with plenty of promise when second last time out, and third three starts back underlines his consistency at this level; rated 84 by us, he carries 140 lb from stall one, and the chief concern is that he remains yet to win in his last six starts.

Venture Capital returns after 31 days with experience over today's trip and going in his favour, and our rating of 87 marks him as the one to beat in a field of ten, though he remains winless in recent starts and will need to find improvement to justify that standing.

Goyard arrives on the back of a fifth last time out and has been winless in his last five starts, though a third four starts back offers a flicker of encouragement; he has distance and going experience and returns after a 21-day break carrying 137 lb from stall four.

Winless in his last five starts with a pair of ninths and two unplaced efforts among them, Wobwobwob makes little appeal from stall six carrying 133 lb, and our rating of 72 ranks him last of ten; experience over today's trip and going, plus a sharp 11-day turnaround, offer scant consolation.

Winless in his last six starts, Mister Sox does at least bring distance and going experience to the table and steps back up having shaped with a little more promise when second and third in earlier efforts, though back-to-back fifths most recently are hard to ignore.

Fortamour shaped with promise when second three starts back, and his experience over today's trip and going stands him in good stead from stall seven carrying 132 lb; the risk is that he has been winless in recent starts and must bounce back from an unplaced effort last time.

Winless in his last five starts, First Folio nevertheless catches the eye with a rating of 82 that puts him well clear of his official mark, and he has run over today's distance and going before; the worry is that his recent record offers little encouragement of a breakthrough.

Educating Rita has shown she can hit the frame, with thirds two and five starts back, but has otherwise struggled for consistency and remains yet to win in her last five starts; she has run over today's distance and going before, and 17 days between runs suggests she arrives fresh enough.
