Dowman shaped with real promise when second last time out, and a winner two starts back, he arrives here in fine recent trim, carrying top weight from stall three having run over today's trip and going before, with our rating of 83 marking him the one to beat.

Sea Palace has been placed third in each of his last two starts and has run over today's distance and going, giving him a solid platform to go one better, though his 61-day absence is the main unknown.

Maximus Meridius has been knocking on the door, finishing third two starts back and second three starts back, and he returns here well-freshed after 32 days off with experience over today's trip; the risk is he remains yet to win in recent starts.

Winless in his last three starts, Ard As A Rock nevertheless carries an 82 rating that marks him out as a serious threat here, and he brings distance and going experience to the table having carried 131 lb from stall four fresh off a 17-day break; the risk is that recent form has been patchy at best.
