In depth
Verdict
The improving Haydens Field will make a bold bid to land this despite his penalties. Ebony Light and Jackem look to be the dangers while Gaia Grey is improving and holds Lady Bob Back on her last run. Diamond Cottage deserves to win a race but may have to wait a little longer. The Jonjo O'Neill debutant is a little hard to assess.
