Giving away weight to all here courtesy of a win at Hamilton in July. Disappointed as 4/5 fav last time out at Carlisle but a slow start and traffic issues to blame. Should stay extra furlong but will hope the ground dries out.
Not disgraced in either effort so far. Fifth over C&D here on debut before finishing a 7¼L third at Redcar latest. Would have to step up to feature here and maybe more of a handicap prospect.
Made debut in same C&D maiden as Canadian George, finishing 1½L behind that rival. Improved effort latest over 7f at Carlisle in heavy ground when finishing third. Looks stable first string and can't be dismissed.
Only moderate form in three starts to date and surprising he isn't in a nursery now. Well beaten fifth (beat 9¼L) on debut at Ayr over 6f. Ran on AW last twice over 7f and 1m making no impression on either occasion.
Lone debutant is a half-brother to useful 1m6f winner Silver Lime. By Bodemeister, sire of Kentucky Derby winner in his first crop. Trainer only had two juvenile winners but attractive pedigree so market will be informative.
Yet to build on pleasing debut win in May. 7¼L 11th of 22 in Royal Ascot Listed race no disgrace but disappointed when 4½L sixth on AW latest as 6/4 fav after layoff. Should handle extra furlong here and has the best turf form on offer.

MARCHINGONTOGETHER looked smart in the spring but things haven't gone quite to plan since. Her last race was disappointing but it came after a three month layoff and was her first time on AW. She can bounce back here and her turf form sets a high standard. Han Solo Berger looks best of the rest despite his penalty and he should benefit from this extra furlong while Southpark appear capable of further progress for leading connections.
