Verdict: FINAL BOSS is top of the list. He has '1's in the formstring and has been running consistently well, while Mondego and Spycatcher could also have a role to play.

Final Boss

Jockey: Juan Hernandez Trainer: John Sadler Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 2114-4

Comment: Last of four (dropped to 6f) last month in a stakes; normally pretty consistent and a winner of a stakes here a year ago; the yard is going well; respected.

Dicey Mo Chara

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Leonard Powell Age/Wt: 7/9-0 F: 485-73

Comment: Solid effort when beaten a head to finish third in a Grade 2 last month; likes this combination of C&D; showed smart form in his prime; warrants respect as reverting to this trip sure to suit and lots of promise in his latest performance.

El Encinal

Jockey: Tiago Pereira Trainer: M Puype Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 600-

Comment: Well beaten in the Grade 1 Breeders' Cup Turf upped to 1m4f (Del Mar) in November; resume shows that he is a proven winner (seeking a fourth career win); returns from a layoff here; unlikely to make a serious impact despite dropping in class.

American Admiral

Jockey: Antonio Fresu Trainer: Tim Yakteen Age/Wt: 7/9-0 F: 613-54

Comment: He meets the required standard ability wise and classy performer in his prime; not disgraced when fourth here over 1m (allowance optional claimer) in March; now over an extra 1f.

Genius Jimmy

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 10-251

Comment: Narrow success in an allowance optional claimer beating Sarwar and Gold Foot 28 days ago; managed three wins in his last seven outings; winning form over C&D; chance.

Mondego

Jockey: Umberto Rispoli Trainer: Michael McCarthy Age/Wt: 5/8-12 F: 646-

Comment: All his winning form has come at Belmont Park (two successes); bobbled at the start in an allowance optional claimer (Belmont At The Big A) when beaten 4½l in sixth in October; returns from a break today; capable of making an impact with a bit more luck as excuses last time and has been on the scene in the recent past.

Gold Foot

Jockey: Kyle Frey Trainer: Sean McCarthy Age/Wt: 4/8-12 F: 1514-6

Comment: C&D has proven suitable before; could not compete with Genius Jimmy when last 28 days ago in an allowance optional claimer; a lot on his plate here and others are preferred.

Broadway Venus

Jockey: Kazushi Kimura Trainer: Ryan Hanson Age/Wt: 3/8-8 F: 4-4566

Comment: Finished last of six in an allowance optional claimer three weeks ago upped to this distance; has won at this course; booking of Kazushi Kimura takes the eye; more than capable if on song so needs considering.

Memosis

Jockey: Alfredo Bautista Trainer: Alfredo Marquez Age/Wt: 3/8-1 F: 3-165

Comment: Beaten fifth of six upped to this distance last month in a claimer; has winning form at this track; lightly raced (running for just the fifth time); likely player if in the same form she showed when winning three starts back and jockey does well from inside draws here.

Lita Way

Jockey: Armando Ayuso Trainer: Steve Sherman Age/Wt: 4/9-0 F: 5-15545

Comment: Could not manage better than fifth in a claimer on debut outing for new trainer 23 days ago; can be a player at this level; now racing on dirt for the first time; reunited with Armando Ayuso who gets on well with her; she can make a bold bid if duplicating the form of her most recent win.

Comment: Held when eighth of 11 last month in a maiden special weight; signs of improvement on last two runs; certainly not out of it given she was third (albeit some way back) two starts ago and jockey does well from inner gates here.
