Comment
Harry Mole has been a model of consistency in recent starts, placing in four of his last five completed efforts including thirds last time out and two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before; the concern is that he remains yet to win in his last six starts.

Comment
Ranked well adrift of the field on our figures, Crafty Spirit faces a stiff ask here, and his official mark of 54 does little to encourage; third last time out at least suggests some recent consistency, though, and he has experience of today's trip and going.

Comment
Winless in his last five starts, Never Dark nonetheless showed clear ability when second two starts back, and he has experience of today's trip and conditions; the main risk is whether he can reproduce that form from stall 13 carrying 130 lb.

Comment
Fourth last time and well held ninth two starts back, Supremissy faces a stiff task ranked tenth of thirteen on our figures, though she does bring distance and going experience to the table and a win three starts back shows she can find the winner's enclosure.

Comment
Ranked second of 13 on our rating, Keep The Gold arrives on a quick 19-day turnaround with experience of today's distance and going in his favour, and a fourth three starts back hints at better lurking; winless in his last five starts, however, and the 129 lb burden from stall 14 is the key concern.

Comment
Without Flaw arrives on the back of a win last time out, which gives her a clear fitness and form boost, though her record in recent starts also includes several mid-to-rear finishes that temper expectations; she has run over today's trip and going before, and 132 lb from stall 7 are the key variables to weigh.

Bibendum won three starts back but has since posted a sixth and a fifth, and with his trainer firing at just 5% in the past fortnight he faces a stiff task, though he has run over today's trip and going and returns after a 22-day break with experience on his side.

Winless in her last six starts, Kyber Crystal has shown little to suggest she can reverse that trend from stall 11 carrying 124 lb, though she has run over today's distance and going before and our rating edges above her official mark.

Winless in his last six starts and ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Royal Duke is hard to fancy, though he has run over today's distance and going before and returns just three days after his latest outing.
