No Trouble is the only course and distance winner in the line-up though Stardayz and GHUMAMA have scored over shorter here. The latter is comfortably the pick of the weights on official ratings with Joey Sheridan's claim handing him a 9lb advantage over No Trouble. Denis Hogan's charge has run well enough in handicaps the last twice to double his winning tally. The stable also run Sheila, who drops into this company for the first time. Kings Prince won his first two starts for Mark Johnston but has never run on the all-weather and finished last in his latest three runs though in better company than this. The front-running Lariat ran poorly on Friday but last month's narrow defeat puts him in the picture and Nevada Queen ran well in her only start on the track back in March.
