Final Watch loves Newmarket having won three times here including on good-to-soft last week for which he's only been raised 2lb. Nizaaka completed a course and distance hat-trick at this time last year, all on fast going. She wouldn't want more rain but would have to be considered in quick conditions. STAR OF ORION (NAP) won this in 2021 but hasn't scored subsequently which is why he's 3lb lower though he's been running well in Class 2 handicaps on the track and looks the one to beat. First Folio has also been performing in stronger company and has been given a chance by the assessor.
