Comment
Fresh from a win last time out and a third two starts back, Glance of Glory has run over today's trip and is back after 24 days, but he carries 157 lb, and our rating of 113 ranks him just seventh of nine, so he's hard to fancy.

Comment
Crystal Glance bounced back with a second last time out after a pulled up and a fall, and she has run over today's trip and going before, but 42 days off and a 163 lb burden temper the case. Our rating of 114 ranks her sixth of nine.

Comment
Winner last time out and with a trainer in form (6 from 22 in the last 14 days), Mr Mackay has the profile of a leading threat, and he has run on today's going before. The one concern is a 582-day absence, so fitness is the question mark.

Comment
Consistent in defeat, Mostly Sunny was a third three starts back, with fourths either side of it, and returns just 18 days after an unplaced run, having already tackled today's trip and going. Our rating of 124 makes him the one to beat, despite 166 lb being a stiff burden.

Comment
Third last time out, and a winner four and five starts back, but Speed Davis has since managed only a sixth and a fifth before that return to form, and 53 days off is a layoff. He has run over today's trip and going, carries 163 lb, and our rating of 115 ranks him fifth of nine.

Comment
Buzz Iceclear has slipped to a sixth last time out and an eighth before that, and returns after 224 days off, so he is hard to fancy under 160 lb. In his favour, he won twice earlier in his last five starts and has run over today's trip and going.
