| 2 | Glamorous Breeze | 91 | Excellent Windsor record, strong going/distance profile and a previous winner of this race. | MAIN DANGER |
| 3 | Nogo’s Dream | 89 | Course-and-distance winner, won this race last year and has Oisin Murphy booked. | SHORTLIST |
| 4 | Almaty Star | 87 | Strong RPR/TS combination and proven at the minimum trip. | CONTENDER |
| 5 | Dream Composer | 86 | Good distance record, strong recent trainer form and competitive figures. | PLACE CHANCE |

Final Verdict
Mesaafi comes out top on the Turf Talk ratings thanks to a strong blend of course-and-distance form, the best RPR in the field, a solid Topspeed figure and an eye-catching trainer profile with Ross Burdon operating at 50% recently.
Glamorous Breeze is the main danger. She has excellent Windsor form, strong going and distance records and has already won this race before, so she commands plenty of respect.
Nogo’s Dream also makes the shortlist as last year’s winner of this race. He has course-and-distance form, Oisin Murphy booked and a strong enough profile to be involved again.
Turf Talk Selections
1. Mesaafi 7/2
