The Padster is winless in his last five and returns after 91 days off, which makes him hard to fancy, though a fourth last time out and a second two starts back show he's competitive. He has run over today's trip but carries 148 lb off an official mark of 84.
Won last time out and again four starts back, with a second in between, so Presenting Milan arrives in cracking form, and he has run over today's trip and going. A 514-day layoff is the one reservation, though our figures still rate him a strong second-best of eight.

Clondaw Royale won three starts back and was third two runs ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before; our ratings have him top of the eight, but a pulled-up last time out and 209 days off are the worry under 166 lb.

SR 81 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Won last time out, and a third three starts back shows he can pick up a cheque, but a 180-day break and 166 lb are a real test; he has run over today's trip, and our rating of 100 puts him fifth of eight.

Back-to-back winners last time out and two starts back, but Square du Roule returns after 187 days off, carries 164 lb off an official mark of 100, and rates bottom of eight on our figures. He has run over today's trip and going, which helps.

SR 97 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Fourth, fourth and fifth in his earlier outings, Get In Order has run over today's going and sits at 103 on our rating, ranked fourth of eight, so he rates a live threat off an official 97. The risk is a 203-day absence and two unplaced runs last time out and two starts back, while carrying 161 lb.

SR 79 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 16/1.
Supreme Shot arrives on a rising note, runner-up last time out and third two starts back, and has run over today's trip and going before, while carrying 160 lb off an official mark of 96. The one concern is a 217-day absence, so fitness is the question.

Hard to fancy: Getaway With You has finished seventh in each of his last three runs and is yet to win in his last five, though he is back quickly after 14 days and has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating ranks him seventh of eight, and 154 lb is a big burden.

Docteur Romeo is winless in his last four, though a fifth last time out, after an eighth two starts back, hints at some improvement, and he has run on today's going before. A 182-day break and 143 lb are concerns, though our rating of 96 sits well above his official 79.

Docteur Romeo owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (48) and market confidence (90). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.

Even weighting across form, market confidence and race-day volatility.
Presenting Milan (SR:101, 9/2) leads the field on ability, carrying top-weight of 12-0 which is offset by a clear SR advantage of 4+ points over the next-best Square du Roule (SR:97) and Supreme Shot (SR:93). The form string 162/1- shows a win last time out in its most recent completed season, suggesting a horse returning in form order. Jonjo O'Neill Jr. retains the ride at 14% career strike rate — a solid booking at this class level. The 11% drift is a concern and must be acknowledged, but the market overall is a messy field with multiple drifters; no rival has steamed with genuine confidence except Get In Order (SR:79, 16/1) which is far too lowly-rated to threaten despite the 37% market move.
Each-way alternative: Square du Roule.
Main danger: Square du Roule — Square du Roule (SR:97, 4/1) carries a favourable 11-10 with Harry Cobden in the saddle at 22% career strike rate — the strongest jockey booking in the race — and despite a 29% drift, the SR is competitive and a bounce-back from a poor last run is plausible at this class.
