Clasina won three starts back and has experience of today's distance and going, but she has been beaten in her last two outings and returns after a 65-day absence carrying 136 lb from stall seven — questions remain over her current fitness.

Too Much Trevor was a winner two starts back and third three starts back, but unplaced on his most recent outing casts a doubt; he has experience over today's trip and going, returns after 21 days, and carries 136 lb from stall 15.

Winless in her last five starts, Cuban Girl nonetheless ranks as the one to beat on ratings here, and her experience over today's trip and going counts in her favour from stall nine carrying 136 lb — the risk is that recent form, including an eighth last time out, demands more.

Winner two starts back but eighth last time out, Sir David blows hot and cold in recent starts; he has run over today's trip and going, carries 135 lb from stall two, and a rating of 61 offers mild encouragement, though his inconsistency is the key concern.

Violet Goldsmith arrives on the back of back-to-back runner-up finishes and a win three starts back, bringing consistent near-the-top form into this, and she has experience of today's trip and conditions; the main risk is whether 135 lb from stall 11 blunts her finishing effort.
