Medium · Tier B
How the race should unfoldLights Are Green is the only confirmed front-runner and may try to make all, but he has failed to finish twice before and trailed badly behind Super Citizen in this same race recently. Favourite Stay Hopeful should race close to the pace, fresh from a course-and-distance win here. The finish is likely to come from this leading group.
1
Stay Hopeful
Stay Hopeful won at this course over this same distance only a few weeks ago and has run again since, pointing to a stable with him fit and ready.
42% / 42%
2
Luminaries
Luminaries arrives on the back of two straight wins and is clearly in good form, though his price already seems to reflect that.
16% / 16%
3
C'Mon So
C'Mon So has been a steady mid-pack finisher from a yard in decent form, without a standout recent performance to point to.

Super Citizen
Super Citizen was beaten by only a whisker in a stronger race here over this same trip recently, well clear that day of today's rival Lights Are Green.
11% / 10%
5
Lights Are Green
Lights Are Green is the one proven front-runner and may try to lead throughout, but he has failed to finish twice before and was well held by Super Citizen last time out.

Red flags
Super Citizen's price has drifted out since the morning, suggesting the market isn't backing this view.It's a small field, which can make results less predictable.Chase favourites carry extra risk because a fall or error can end their race in an instant.
