The early market leader is Ascari, who has plenty going in his favour to justify being a well-supported favourite.
He has been gelded since his last sub-par run seven weeks ago, and is now stepping up in trip and looks kindly treated in the weights under the significant presence of William Buick.
If Hughie Morrison's gelding is the one to beat, then there are plenty queueing up to do so, with Dream Of Mischief, Hiromichi and My Mate Ted all carrying legitimate claims at single-digit prices, but with bookies paying out on up to five places, an each-way punt might be the way to go.

Valkyrian from the productive Osborne stable, with their lively three-year-old filly looking to build on the potential she has shown in her short career so far.

Some encouraging signs in four outings during her juvenile season paved the way for a promising third-placed season debut on Wolverhampton's all-weather track in April.
Her turf debut here at Windsor in May was easily excused in light of the unsuitable heavy going, and that was quickly confirmed by her maiden win over better ground on the same track two weeks later.
That course-distance success left a dozen rivals in her rear-view mirror and although her subsequent outing at Lingfield 37 days ago was less impressive, that was her first step up to 10 furlongs and she clearly failed to make the trip.
Reverting to her preferred distance at the venue of her one triumph looks like a shrewd move, and regular jockey Saffie Osborne should be well-versed with how to get the best out of her father's charge.
Suggested bet: Valkyrian each-way in the 19:40 race at Windsor
