Runner by runner
Dr Rascal Kaiya Fraser · Oliver Cole
Three consecutive wins make Dr Rascal a serious player here, and he has experience of today's trip and conditions to draw on; at 131 lb after 47 days away, the weight and fitness questions are the risks to weigh up.
Florida Bay Ronan Whelan · A P O'Brien
Florida Bay won two starts back and was runner-up last time out, so he arrives in decent nick 22 days fresh; he has run over today's trip and going, which helps, though carrying 131 lb from stall one and ranking fifth of eight on ratings suggests he faces a stiff ask to dominate.
Folsom Blues J M Sheridan · Joseph Patrick O'Brien
Folsom Blues is in the form of his life, placing second twice in his last two starts after winning three starts back, and he has experience of today's trip and conditions. Carrying 131 lb from stall 8 is the chief concern.
Giant Sequoia Ryan Moore · A P O'Brien
Giant Sequoia arrives in fair nick, winning his last two starts after a third before them, and he has run over today's trip and going before; however, carrying 131 lb and ranked midfield on ratings suggests he faces a stiff ask here.
Haffner Wayne Lordan · A P O'Brien
Haffner arrives on the back of an excellent recent spell, a winner last time out and two wins in his last four starts, and with experience of today's distance and going he looks well placed to go close again from stall seven carrying 131 lb.
Monogram Colin Keane · Joseph Patrick O'Brien
Rated well below the principals on our figures and ranked seventh of eight, Monogram heads into this off just the one run, so there is precious little form to go on; he has run over today's trip and going before, and a winning return 22 days ago at least brings freshness to his case.
Porto Vecchio Chris Hayes · D K Weld
Porto Vecchio won last time out but is ranked bottom of this field on our figures, and 57 days off the track adds a fitness query; he has run over today's trip, at least, and stall five is his draw.
Trean W J Lee · P Twomey
Placed last time out and a winner two starts back, Trean brings solid recent form into this, and having run over today's trip and going he knows what's required; at 131 lb from stall 6, the weight is the one thing he'll need to overcome.
