Veuve Clicquot Molecomb Stakes (Group 3)

Three wins in his last three starts is about as strong a recent record as you'll find, form good enough to be rated third in this field. The one concern is a lengthy 84-day absence, but that unbeaten sequence makes him hard to leave out of the reckoning.

A win three starts back stands out in an otherwise workmanlike record, backed up by a third five starts back. Quick to reappear 11 days after an unplaced run last time out, and rated sixth of eleven, he looks more a frame contender than a winner.

Runner-up last time out, following a win two starts back, form strong enough to be rated fourth in this field. Has run over today's trip before, and with a fifth three starts back his only blemish, he's a leading threat throughout.

A win two starts back is the highlight, but that was followed by an unplaced effort last time out, and he's rated bottom of this field - some way below his official mark. Has run over today's trip before, but there's plenty to prove against this line-up.

Won last time out, following a runner-up effort the time before, for a tidy recent record. Has run over today's trip and going before, but he's only rated ninth of eleven, leaving him plenty to find against a stronger level of rival.
