Our view

Best selection: Royal Sapphire. the highest official rating in the field (115); a Race DNA fit of 82 – today's going, trip and track suit what it has shown before; 11 days since its last run, a sensible gap; trainer Jennie Candlish has had 50 winners from 311 runners in our recent records.

The case against: we can't yet confirm how it handles good to firm ground from our own records.

Others to consider: Watcha Snoop and Jambearee.
