Fontwell

Despite being touted as the editorial pick, this four-year-old hasn't won in seven attempts and is being asked to bounce back after just three days following a 7-length defeat at Stratford. She's the lowest-rated of the serious contenders and faces a gruelling stamina test as an unproven horse over this distance—her rapid turnaround is a red flag, not a selling point.

Top-rated by 7lbs with the best win rate in the field at roughly 1 in 3 races, Camshaft arrives fresh off a recent third at Uttoxeter and is the clear market favourite at 3.55. She's won her last two races before that and has the form credentials to threaten Steal A Glance, though she'll need to close a meaningful rating gap over this stamina test.

The only horse in this field to have won at the 3m 2f distance, this seven-year-old brings genuine experience with 19 races under her belt and won just 14 days ago at Warwick. However, she hasn't beaten a rating of 85+ and faces a significant step up in class here against Camshaft and Steal A Glance.

Still chasing her first win after nine races, this four-year-old has shown improving form with two places in her last three runs, including a narrow 1.8L second at Ludlow. However, she's unproven over 3m 2f and faces the same distance and class questions as Steal A Glance, making her more a prospect for the future than a threat today.
