Winless in his last five outings, Marhaba Ghaiyyath disappointed when tried in cheekpieces at Newmarket last time out. He is effective over this distance and acts on a sound surface; an easing mark provides a small platform, though a much improved showing is needed.

Consistent and dependable, High Degree performed to his level in a competitive handicap at Sandown last time, beaten two lengths off this mark. He acts on any going and handles this distance well; as our top-rated runner, he looks the one to beat here.

Two B Tanned won here off a mark 8lb lower on her penultimate outing but has disappointed since stepping up in class, and the current mark looks stiff. First-time hood and cheekpieces add uncertainty; front-running tactics suit, but she needs to find significantly more.

Beaten a neck in a novice at Hamilton last time, Haayimm showed real tenacity and has the attitude to compete despite a demanding opening mark. He handles this distance and today's conditions; the mark is the main question, but he is unexposed and capable of more.

Below par on his seasonal reappearance at Kempton, Rochfortbridge is a sturdy type with a good attitude and his trainer is in excellent form. Fast ground suits and he handles this trip; he has something to prove at three, but the stable's form counts in his favour.
