French Affair arrives on the back of a win last time out and has experience over today's trip and conditions, with his trainer firing at 33% over the past fortnight. He carries 139 lb from stall 5, though the top-rated runner in this seven-strong field holds clear claims.

Third two starts back and a runner-up three starts back show Space Bear in solid recent form, and she has experience of today's trip and conditions; the main risk is a trainer who has drawn a blank in 27 attempts over the past fortnight.

Masaban shaped with real promise when runner-up last time out, and has run over today's trip and going before — strong claims for a bold show from stall one carrying 129 lb. The concern is a fifth-place finish two starts back hinting at inconsistency.

Winless in her last five starts, with unplaced efforts her most recent form, Bleep Test faces a stiff task ranked sixth of seven on our figures; her trainer is badly out of form at 4% lately, though she has experience over today's trip and going and returns on a quick 14-day turnaround.

Winless in his last six starts and ranked bottom of seven on our figures, Brave Traveller's recent form is patchy — third and seventh feature among those efforts — though he's been placed three times in that spell, has experience over today's trip, and returns on a quick eight-day turnaround.
