Back-to-back wins in the last two starts, following a runner-up effort three starts back, make for eye-catching recent form, and he has raced over today's distance and going before. Bottom of our rankings on 54, though, with modest efforts of seventh and sixth further back tempering the streak.

A winner last time out, following a runner-up and a third the two starts before, and has raced over today's distance and going before. The form was moderate before that spell, including an unplaced effort, the one query here.

Two runner-up efforts three and four starts back show ability, but the two runs since read sixth and eighth. Has raced over today's distance and going before, though a 42-day absence and a run of six starts without a win are query marks.

A striking run of placed form reads second, second, third, third and fourth across his last five starts, and he has raced over today's distance before, backing up eight days on. Yet to win in its last six starts, though, with a below-par seventh further back the outlier.

A winner last time out and again five starts back, with two wins in the last six starts the clear highlight, and she has raced over today's distance and going before. Second-bottom of our rankings on 56, though, with three well-beaten efforts sandwiched between the wins.

A runner-up five starts back and a strong speed figure of 74 underline the potential, with today's distance and going raced over before. The last two runs read unplaced and fifth, and it's a 42-day gap since, but the pace on offer makes this our selection.

Third in our rankings on 72 with two runner-up efforts four and five starts back the standout form, and has raced over today's distance and going before. The concern is a pair of sevenths in the two runs since, plus a 55-day absence to overcome.

Tops our ratings on 76 with a win five starts back and a runner-up further back too, and she has raced over today's distance and going before. The recent form is moderate, however, with a below-par sixth last time out following two indifferent efforts before that.

A third five starts back is the highlight of a record otherwise dominated by sevenths, and she has raced over today's distance and going before. Yet to win in its last five starts, with three of those five runs finishing seventh the main knock.
