Racing Post verdict
Third-partyBanana returns to a surface that has suited her and is our top-rated runner, arriving with new headgear after a forgivable effort on softer ground at Bath last time; this sharper surface should be more to her taste. Rogue Rebellion is second on our ratings but needs to find form again after a run of poor efforts, while Darkened Edge, in form this season, is a solid danger on course-and-distance form. River Edge returns after an extremely lengthy absence and has fitness questions to answer. Banana is our selection.
Racing Post pick: Banana
