Cube Glass 'soba' Handicap Stakes

Corolla Point arrives with a consistent recent profile — placed three times and a winner twice in his last five starts, with experience of today's trip and going. He carries 140 lb from stall 11, and whether that weight can be conceded all round is the key question.

Mostly finishing in mid-division in recent starts, Purosangue has run over today's trip and going, and his rating of 106 puts him narrowly clear at the top of these 14; yet to win in his last five, he needs to convert that solid placing form into something more decisive.

Arklow Lad brings solid recent form — a winner last time out and a winner three starts back, with experience over today's trip and going — but 56 days off the track and a trainer firing at just 4% in the last fortnight are real concerns for this 135 lb burden.

Bounced back to win one start back but has been out of the frame in his last two, and that patchy recent profile is hard to ignore; has run over today's trip and going, though, and 36 days between runs leaves him with something to prove on return.

Solar Acclaim showed he can win at this level with a victory two starts back, but a ninth last time out raises questions about consistency; he has run over today's trip and going, and his 134 lb burden won't help him recapture that form.
