Banana is the only horse in this field with a proven record on fast, dry ground—winning 1 in 3 races on firm going. However, her recent form is mixed (2nd two runs ago, then 10th), and at 60 races she's essentially a Class 6 specialist with just 2 career wins, so there's nothing in her record to suggest a breakthrough today despite being the market favourite.

Charging Bull has never won in 13 races and is one of the shortest-priced runners, despite that winless record—he finished 4th here just two weeks ago, suggesting recent form at this track has prompted the market support. As the least experienced horse in the field, he's still developing, but his zero wins suggests he remains well short of breaking through.
Pure Passion is lightly raced with just 3 outings and crucially has never competed on dry ground—today's fast, firm surface is untested territory for her. Her most recent run was an 11th-place finish at Southwell just two weeks ago, a significant step backward from a 3rd-place finish six months prior, making her one of the weakest claims in the field.

Mayflower Rock is a 3-year-old with just 4 career races and zero wins or places, arriving here off a 34-day break following a 7th at Yarmouth. She carries the lowest weight in the field, but her form (7-10-4-8) shows only one finish in the frame from four attempts—a raw newcomer with nothing to suggest she's ready for this.
Shining Guest is another 3-year-old with just 3 races, zero wins, and a consistent pattern of finishing 5th-7th; her two most recent runs at Yarmouth (5th and 6th) at least confirm familiarity with the track. However, she's been idle for 40 days and has nothing in her record to suggest she can win this—she remains a maiden searching for any breakthrough.

She Went Whoosh has won just once in 38 races and comes here with the added handicap of zero wins on dry ground from 7 attempts—she's a standard-ground specialist being asked to perform on fast going. Her recent form is also weak (6th two runs ago, 10th before that), making her one of the least convincing runners in the field despite being among the quoted dangers.
One of the more successful in the field (1 career wins)
Chiedozie is 6lbs below the field average on ratings and genuinely looks out of his depth here, returning after just 5 days following a 10th-place finish at Newmarket. His last six runs read 10-9-9-8-10-3: he's a horse that simply cannot win, with zero victories from 28 attempts, and there's no evidence here of a turnaround.

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.
