Comment
Idyllic has run over today's trip and going before and steps back into contention on the back of a third last time out, while her rating of 63 makes her a genuine threat from stall nine — the risk is that she remains winless in her last five starts.

Comment
Annandale showed his quality when winning four starts back, and has been placed third on two occasions in recent starts, but he has failed to find the top two in his last two outings and arrives here after a 45-day absence, giving connections some fitness questions to answer.

Comment
Hey Havana arrives in excellent shape just eight days after finishing second two starts back, and his consistency — placed three times in his last six starts — makes him the one to beat off a competitive 128 lb carrying stall five, with our rating of 68 suggesting he's well ahead of his official mark.

Comment
Winless in his last six starts, Falaise Blanc has been placed on several occasions but that seventh suggests inconsistency, and ranked seventh of nine on our figures he faces a stiff task here; experience over today's trip and going is at least a genuine tick in his favour.

Comment
Winless in his last five starts, Lightning Galaxy at least returns on a quick turnaround of 17 days with experience over today's trip and going in his favour, though a fourth last time out represents his best recent effort and a rating of 54 underlines the task he faces from stall two.

Comment
Farabove The Limit has run over today's trip and going, and his fourth two starts back shows he can be competitive at this level, with a rating of 63 suggesting he holds a touch more ability than his mark implies; the risk is that he has been winless in recent starts and that ninth last time out is hard to ignore.

Comment
Rory's Gold shaped well for a second three starts back and brings strong distance-and-going experience to this, with our rating of 65 making him one to respect from stall one; the risk is that he has been winless in recent starts and those two subsequent eighths must give pause.

Winless in her last five starts, with a pair of ninths in her two most recent outings, Zebra Star faces a stiff task from a low rating of 45, though she has run over today's distance and going before and the 19-day turnaround suggests she arrives fresh.

Comment
Winless in his last five starts, with a string of fifth-place finishes doing little to inspire confidence, Alcanzor ranks bottom of the field on our figures and faces the additional headwind of a trainer firing at just 5% in the last 14 days.
