Notimetotakeoff comes here fit and in decent heart, third last time out just seven days ago and also third three starts back, with experience of today's trip and going. He is yet to win in recent starts, but his profile makes him our pick from draw four.

SR 61 suggests ability but 7/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Texting is a leading danger on our figures, ranked second of ten, and she has run over today's trip and going before, drawn two. The risk is plain: she's yet to win and finished seventh last time out, after 45 days off.

SR 53 suggests ability but 8/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Unbeatable Fame hit the frame's edge with a fourth last time out just 12 days ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before; our rating has him top of the ten, 7 lb clear of his official 58. The risk is that he is yet to win in his last six starts, with a third four starts back his best finish.

SR 61 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
London Rose is winless in her last three, finishing fifth last time out, then a sixth and an eighth, though she has run over today's trip and going before and arrives after 32 days off. Our rating of 60 sits above her official 56, but those finishes keep her in the midfield mix from stall 6.

SR 45 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 14/1.
Northern Viola arrives in good heart after a second last time out and a win two starts back, just 13 days ago, and she has run over today's trip. Against that, the stable is out of form at 1/21, and our rating of 58 only ranks her sixth of ten from stall nine.

Black Fury was second last time out, but she is winless in her last three starts, a sixth and a fourth before that, and returns after 69 days off. She has run over today's trip and drew stall 1, yet our figures rank her 10th of 10.

Pocket Change is hard to fancy, having finished ninth last time out, unplaced two starts back and eighth three starts back, so she is winless in her last three. She has run on today's going and had 31 days off, while our rating ranks her eighth of ten.

Bonjour Belle is winless in her last six, beaten into seventh last time, though a third two starts back shows she can get involved, and she has run over today's trip. Back in just eight days from draw 7, she is hard to fancy, with our figures ranking her ninth of ten.

SR 38 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.
Le Grand Etoile has been consistent without a win, finishing fifth last time out and fifth again two starts back, and he's fresh from a run 12 days ago. He has run over today's trip and going, but a seventh three starts back and a ninth six starts back show he lacks a cutting edge, and our rating of 55 ranks him seventh of ten.

Fit after just 12 days off and with experience over today's trip and going, The Kalonji Man steps in off a lowly official mark of 44 and a fifth last time out, with our rating of 62 ranking him fourth of ten; the risk is he's yet to win in six recent runs, finishing no better than a fourth.

Even weighting across form, market confidence and race-day volatility.
Northern Viola (SR:66, 5/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin and has steamed in 15% in the market — the strongest move of any runner. Carrying just 9-1, she has a genuine weight advantage over Notimetotakeoff (SR:61, 9-9) and Unbeatable Fame (SR:61, 9-3) who share her ability tier. Her form string 557412 shows a recent second and a win, reflecting an upward curve, and the drop of two class tiers (ClassMv:↓2) after running off a mark only 2lb higher than her last win (MarkMv:+2) is very manageable. The DistFit:- flag is noted — she is stepping up to 1m5y — but the market money and class edge make her the clear pick.
Each-way alternative: Unbeatable Fame.
Main danger: Unbeatable Fame — Unbeatable Fame (SR:61, 9/2) has steamed in 11% in the market, carries a favourable 9-3, and shares the joint-second SR in the field — if Northern Viola finds the step up in trip beyond her, Unbeatable Fame's market confidence makes her the most likely beneficiary.
⚖Case against4clamped▾
DistFit:- flag is a real issue — Northern Viola has no recorded form over 1m5y, and stamina for this trip is unproven at a critical stage of her 2yo season.
Her form string 557412 includes four finishes of 5th or worse before the recent uptick; the win and second may be flattering a horse that is inconsistent under pressure.
Le Grand Etoile has surged 24% in the market — the sharpest move in the race — at 15/2, suggesting market intelligence may be pointing elsewhere despite Northern Viola's headline steam.
Notimetotakeoff (SR:61) is a stable companion of Le Grand Etoile under Charlie Johnston's powerful yard (13% strike rate) and showed fresh-horse form just 7 days ago, a live danger at 7/2.
