Champagne Pommery Cuvee Louise Gold Cup Handicap Stakes

Jonny Concrete arrives on the back of a win last time out, is fit on a 14-day turnaround, and has experience over today's trip and conditions — our rating of 90 marks him as a strong threat. The main risk is whether he can defy a testing burden of 138 lb from stall nine.

Winless in his last five starts, Gweedore nonetheless rates 96 on our figures — top of these eleven — and returns after 32 days having run over today's distance and going before; stall three and 137 lb to carry are the questions here.

Misunderstood has run over today's trip and going before and returns on a sharp 14-day turnaround in good order, with our rating of 90 marking him out as a live threat in this field — the risk is that he's winless in his last five starts, suggesting the breakthrough remains elusive.

Eagle Bay arrives on the back of two wins in his last three starts, with experience of today's distance and going in his favour, but carrying 136 lb from stall 11, our rating puts him well below the field's leading lights, making him hard to fancy at the weights.

Passing Thought has won twice in her last five starts, including a victory two starts back, and has run over today's distance and going — a trainer firing at 26% over the past fortnight adds strong confidence; the concern is whether 49 days off has left her short of peak sharpness.
