Comment
Soldier For Glory has finished third in each of his last two starts, but he's yet to win in recent form, was unseated three runs back and returns after 225 days off. Our figures rank him ninth of 13, and 165 lb is a hefty burden to carry.

Daly Boy's profile is solid: he has run over today's trip and going before, and his record of a second five starts back and two fifths in his last two outings keeps him in the mix, with our rating of 113 ranking him third of 13. The main risk is a 210-day absence, plus 164 lb on his back.

Comment
Bataillon has been consistent, finishing third last time out, a fourth two starts back and a second three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. A 189-day absence and 162 lb on his back temper enthusiasm, and our rating of 107 only ranks him sixth of 13.

Fifth last time out, after a fourth two starts back, a third three starts back and a win four starts back, The Big Breac has been slipping down the order, and he returns after 273 days off. He has run over today's trip and going and our rating of 106 ranks him seventh of 13, but 159 lb is a hefty burden.

Comment
Gasmani booked a fourth last time out, 20 days ago, and a second three starts back sits alongside a win four starts back, while he has run over today's trip and going before. He carries 168 lb off an official 110, which is the one reservation, but our rating of 114 backs the profile.

Winless in his last five, Cahier's Den has still hit the frame twice, with a second two starts back and a third three starts back, though he was only sixth last time out and returns after 164 days off. He has run over today's trip and going and our rating of 108 sits above his official 100, but 158 lb is a hefty burden.

Comment
Pappariche is lightly raced and still unexposed, with a fifth last time out and a fourth two starts back suggesting she is moving the right way after two eighths. Yet to win in her last four, she returns just 16 days after her latest run, carrying 147 lb off an official mark of 89.

Finn Lough arrives with a second two starts back and has run over today's trip and on the going, while our top-rated figure of 117 sits well above his official 110 despite carrying 168 lb. The main risk is a 227-day absence and a fall last time out.

Comment
My Bobby's Lass is hard to fancy, having finished a fourth last time out and a sixth, then another sixth, in her two runs before that, with her one win coming four starts back. She does have a 26-day break to her advantage and our rating of 92 sits above her official 86, but she is only tenth of 13 on our figures.

On The Platform has finished sixth, fifth and fifth in his last three, after being pulled up four starts back, so he's hard to fancy off 142 lb and a 52-day break. His win came five starts back, though, and he has run over today's trip and going.
