1R : 7-1-6
The only youthful contestant in this field, nine-race maiden ROGER O'MORE (7) has a good chance of breaking the ice. Tardy-starter WISE DON (1) could be a player if he improves his jumping. BHAIRAVA'S QUEEN (6), under the capable rider assigned to steer, is the main danger.
2R : 6-7-2
SHOWMANSHIP (6) just needs to replicate his debut effort and the longer nine-furlong trip should take care of the rest (a late-rallying third). The longer 9f-trip looks suited for VULCANIC (7) as his previous winning siblings excelled over longer trips. ROYAL PEARL (2) could be seen at her lustrous best with a level break from the gates.
3R : 1-3-8
BIENFAISANT (1) and LAUDREE (3) are the prime contenders. With a claimer assigned to guide, ROYAL SYMBOL (8) will likely put up an assertive show.

4R : 7-1-2
Well-bred debutante ANATOLIA (7) could strike it rich in this modest lot. She will likely be opposed by speedsters LEBUA (1) and NIGHTJAR (2).
5R : 8-12-9
In-form EUPHORIC (8), bidding for the coveted hat-trick of wins, should be seen at his best again. Last-start failed favourite SPEED AIR (12) could whoosh past the field with a timely nudge. The 7f trip looks suited for late-rusher GALLANTRY (9) and he could upset the apple-carts of the fancied ones.
6R : 2-6-4
is the pick of the lot. DIAMOND AND PEARLS (2), with a claimer aboard, could improve his previous finish (ran 4th). EMBRACE (6) will likely get a hug from the fluke seekers.
7R : 6-5-9
LA JEFA (6) stands tall in this field. LADY CADET (5) is no pushover. CYNOSURE (9) has it in him to land a telling blow.
8R : 6-4-8
Race: Her debut inspiring run may bring LADY LUCK (6) to the fore this time out. ABILITAIRE (4), under the top veteran rider, is the chief danger. Late-rusher MEMORY LANE (8) could upset if the pace is on.
