Market favourite at 3.55 with a perfect debut win at Great Yarmouth 15 days ago, but has never raced on normal ground and arrives with just one race under his belt. The backing suggests confidence, but the limited experience and untested surface conditions introduce real uncertainty.

Only a pound behind Alfred Wallace on the ratings with an impressive 50% win rate from four races, including a fresh victory at York just 9 days ago. Never raced on normal ground but the recent form and consistency across the card makes her a genuine chief danger at 6.6 odds.
Perfect debut winner at Salisbury two months ago, but has never raced on normal ground and arrives here after a 60-day absence with just one career race. This lightly raced newcomer to normal conditions is a gamble at 4.0 odds — the form is flawless but the sample size is tiny.

Top-rated by 4lbs with the best win rate in the field at roughly 1 in 3 races, Alfred Wallace comes here off a recent win at Ascot and should handle 7f with his 50% success rate at this distance. His only concern is a fourth-place finish at York just 10 days ago, but the proven form at this level and sharp odds shortening suggest the market still backs him.

Unbeaten from two races with victories at Newcastle and Kempton in quick succession, but has never raced on normal ground and both wins came on artificial or standard surfaces. At 6.2 odds the market respects the perfect record, though the turf question and limited experience against this calibre remain unknowns.

Still winless after two races but showed promise with a close second at York just 8 days ago, suggesting a breakthrough might be coming. Never raced on normal ground and at 40.0 odds looks underloved given the improving form, though lack of a win remains a red flag.

Has won just once from four races and comes here after a poor seventh-place finish at Newmarket 49 days ago, having also finished eighth before that. Never raced on normal ground and at 80.0 odds appears to have disappointed the market, offering little to tempt here.
Made a perfect debut at Southwell 23 days ago but has never raced on normal ground and that opening win came at an all-weather track — a completely different proposition. At 42.0 odds the market is skeptical about translating that success to turf in open company.

Won at Kempton 61 days ago but has since faded badly, finishing sixth at Salisbury last time beaten 16.5 lengths — a dramatic reversal that's hard to ignore. Never raced on normal ground and the dramatic odds drift from 41.0 to 120.0 suggests the market has seen enough to worry.

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.
