Garden Oasis has been consistently knocking at the door, finishing third, third, and second in his last three starts, and our rating of 80 puts him among the very best in this field; the risk is that he remains winless and may again find one too good.

Donna Nook shaped with promise when third last time out and is a winner in her last six starts, with experience over today's trip and a fitness edge at just 18 days since her latest run; her rating of 81 marks her as the one to beat here.

Catton Lady arrives on the back of a win last time out and has run over today's trip and going, giving her solid claims here, and she carries 139 lb from stall nine as the main threat to her chances.

Kiss Me My Love has placed third last time out and has experience over today's trip and going, but an unplaced effort three starts back tempers confidence; carrying 137 lb from stall 3, she holds claims without being certain to improve on a mixed recent profile.

Bellasio showed ability when winning two starts back, but his latest run was unplaced and, ranked tenth of thirteen on our figures, he faces a stiff task at 134 lb, though he does have experience over today's trip and going.
