Made it four wins from five runs here latest; a 3lb rise looks fair and he's respected

Things didn't pan out her way behind Empirestateofmind last time; goes on the shortlist

Resumed from a ten-month break in good form but there's little wiggle room off this mark

Free-going front-runner who's won five of her last six; this is stronger upped another 6lb

No surprise to see the hood back after two ordinary efforts; ought to fare much better
