10/3
Penalised for an easy win at Haydock last month and giving 4lb away to seasoned campaigners makes for a stiff test. He's won on this type of ground before but might need a bit more give than the predicted going will allow.

6/1
Not well treated under the terms of the race and needs to considerably better his two previous starts this season. His yard has 22% strike-rate at this course so some negatives are balanced. Still hard to rule out in what will be a tactical race.

With a 31% strike-rate over the last month, the entire represents and yard flying at present. He won in a higher grade as a three-year-old and returned with a solid effort at Haydock last month. Has an excellent chance on these terms.

5/2
Posted some solid efforts in defeat at the top level last season and merits respect on that form alone. Was gelded prior to finishing fourth in a Listed race latest and might now have more to give. The big drop in trip is the stumbling block.

Forecasts

Ostilio (11/8), Prince Eiji (5/2), Qaysar (10/3), Dream Castle (6/1)

Verdict

OSTILIO looks the logical choice in a field this size as he's best in at the weights and returned from an absence with a sterling effort in defeat last time out. His form as a three-year-old was rock solid and he'll be hard to beat if he runs anywhere near those levels. The drop in trip is a concern for Prince Eiji so Qaysar might be the best alternative. He does have a penalty for winning last time out, though. Dream Castle runs for a yard that has done well with a limited number of runners at this course over the last few years and he too must merit consideration in a race where none can confidently be ruled out.
  1. Ostilio
  2. Qaysar
  3. Prince Eiji
