Fontwell

At 11 years old, this is by far the most experienced horse in the race with 43 career runs — more than double the field average. He ran here at Fontwell just 12 days ago and finished fifth, so at least there are no fitness questions, but three wins from 43 races tells you this horse is hard to back with confidence.

The editorial verdict picks her out despite an eight-race career with no wins and no placed finishes — the lowest rating in the field by some margin and carrying the lightest weight of any runner. She has never raced on today's normal ground, but she finished fourth here at Fontwell last time out, which is actually the best result of her career, and the longer 2m 6f trip is expected to suit her breeding.

Fourteen races and still waiting for a first win — Marhaba Million is one of two horses in this field yet to break their duck. The recent form shows a couple of mid-pack finishes without threatening the front, and at odds of 21.0 the market is not convinced a breakthrough is coming today.

A ten-year-old returning from nearly six months off the track, which is the longest absence of any horse in this field — that alone makes him hard to trust. His record on today's normal ground is dismal, with zero wins from seven attempts, and the last run ended in a pull-up. Hard to make a case for him here.

An experienced eight-year-old with 30 races under his belt, but the recent form is hard to ignore — a pull-up at this very track 115 days ago, and now returning after nearly four months off. He has three career wins to his name, but his record on right-handed tracks is poor, and Fontwell is a right-handed course.
