Still looking for a first career win from seven races, Follow My Heart carries the lightest weight in the field and is rated 6lbs below the field average — the joint-lowest rating here. The short-priced odds of 4.5 are surprising given that record, though her jockey wins roughly 1 in every 7 races with this trainer. Finishing third and fourth in her last two runs suggests she's improving, but first-time winning form hasn't arrived yet.

The market favourite and the form pick of the field, Dottie Diamond arrives on the back of back-to-back wins and wins roughly 1 in every 4 races — the best win rate in this field of nine. Turning up again just seven days after her latest victory is bold, but the evidence says she's in the form of her life right now. With the top official rating among the closelypacked frontrunners, she has every right to go off as the one to beat.

Our editorial selection and the highest-rated horse in the race on 60, Little Miss Magic goes again just six days after being beaten a fraction of a length at Bath — she's in form and clearly robust enough to run again quickly. The concern is that she has never won at Salisbury in five attempts here, and on dry ground she has just one win from nine races. She deserves her place at the head of the market, but the course record is a genuine flag.

Roman Spring actually has a reasonable record on dry ground — two wins from 15 races on it — which is relevant today. But he's never won at Salisbury in five tries here, and his last run was a distant 12th at Newbury. At six years old and 46 races in, the moments of magic are becoming rarer.

The most seasoned horse in the field with six wins from 50 races, Cabeza De Llave brings experience but currently fading form — eighth last time out at Windsor. He has never won on a left-handed galloping track in 12 attempts, and Salisbury doesn't offer the conditions where his best form has come. A solid horse, but the numbers don't point to today.

Three finishes inside the top three from her last three completed races is solid form, but the awkward middle result — a 10th at Windsor — hints at some inconsistency. Crucially, she has never won on dry ground in ten attempts, which is a real concern given today's conditions. The recent run of form is eye-catching, but that ground record works against her.

The longest absentee in the field by some distance, Reporter hasn't raced in 107 days — and that last outing was a 13th-place finish at Bath. His one career win came on dry ground, which today's conditions match, but 19 races and only one win tells its own story. Hard to fancy with that layoff and recent form this poor.

Second-highest rated in the field alongside the selection and Reporter on 54, but Mademoiselle Belle finished ninth last time out, beaten 8.5 lengths at Windsor. She has never won on dry ground — zero wins from six attempts across good-to-firm and good conditions — which is a serious issue here. Big odds of 23/1 reflect a horse whose rating flatters her current situation.

The most experienced runner in the field by a wide margin — 52 races compared to the field average of 28 — but Battle Point has only ever won once in all that time, a rate of roughly 1 in every 50. His last six runs are all mid-pack finishes, he's never won on dry ground in 13 attempts, and his odds of 41/1 tell you all you need to know. Plenty of miles on the clock but very little to show for it.

How do odds work?
The first number is what you win, the second is what you bet. So 5/2 means you win £5 for every £2. 4/1 means you win £4 for every £1. The bigger the first number, the less likely bookmakers think the horse will win — but the more you'd win if it does.
