'Eyecatching effort in the Underwood last time and looks set for a big run'

'Weighted to beat Gold Trip on his last run; likely to be involved in the finish'

'Blew rivals away in the Turnbull two weeks ago, so is massively in form; topweight a worry'

'Quite capable of smart form but was only seventh in the Metropolitan when last seen'

'Certainly knows how to win but this is a strong race so new career best required'

'Ran well against current Melbourne Cup favourite Vauban two starts back; cheekpieces go on'

'Has been in great form and weighted to beat Gold Trip from last clash; leading chance'

'Japanese runners do so well on the world stage; has to be respected, albeit more needed'

'Is 2-2 over this distance and can be expected to go well if progressing again'

'Won the Derby Trial Stakes last year at Lingfield when still in the care of Aidan O'Brien'

'Came back to Derby level form last time and looks of interest back up to 1m4f'

'Knows how to handle himself in big fields; stable gets big-race winners in Australia'

'Twice fourth in this race and heads into this running off a win; can be thereabouts'

'Comes into this off a great effort but another step up surely required all things equal'

'Did finish second in Queensland Derby but not so good either side of that'

'Draw isn't helpful and stable appear to have a stronger candidate'

'Three from four under James McDonald makes for interesting reading; stall 15 a niggle'

'Second in 2022 Melbourne Cup; good effort off a low weight couldn't be ruled out'
