Owner: Reality Partnerships V
Breeding
Sire: Iffraaj (GB)

Comment
Runner-up last time out and a winner two starts back, this gelding is in solid recent form and back quickly after just ten days, having run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 132 lb from stall four, he's rated 71 by us, only eighth of 15, which suggests he may need to improve again.

Comment
Havana Rum showed his form with a fourth last time out, and another fourth two starts back, and he returns fresh enough after 15 days, having run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 80 backs the pick, though he is yet to win in his last six starts.

Comment
Decem Starr was second last time out and has run over today's trip, but he's winless in his last five and a fourth four starts back is his next best finish. A 31-day break and a yard struggling at 1/20 temper enthusiasm, while 136 lb from stall 12 asks plenty.

Comment
Mister Sox arrives fit after 10 days off, third last time out and a winner two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. The risk is 139 lb from draw 10, which is a hefty burden to carry.

Comment
Evocative Spark has finished sixth, fifth, ninth, seventh and fourth since a win six starts back, so the trend is hard to like, though he has run over today's trip and going before and returns after 27 days. Carrying 131 lb from stall eight, he is ranked 14 of 15 on our figures.

Comment
Highfield Viking was unplaced last time out and has only one win in his last six starts, a victory two starts back, which makes him hard to fancy, ranked 11th of 15 on our figures. On the plus side, he is back quickly after 11 days and has run over today's trip and going before.

Comment
The Gay Blade has been beaten in five of his last six, with a fourth last time out the best of them since a win six starts back, and a seventh and an eighth before that. He has run over today's trip and going and is fresh enough after ten days, but 133 lb from stall one and a 13th-of-15 ranking make him hard to fancy.

Comment
Black Storm has gone eighth and ninth in his last two starts, though he won four starts back and was third before that, and he's fresh enough after 15 days. He has run over today's trip and going, but 133 lb from draw 5 and a middling rating of 71 make him a mid-pack proposition.

Comment
Surprised is winless in her last six, with unplaced efforts on her last two outings and a seventh three starts back, so she is hard to fancy at 127 lb from stall 15. In her favour, she has run over today's trip and on the going, and a third five starts back shows some ability.

Comment
Swift Salian has run over today's trip and going and comes back after 22 days, but he's winless in his last six, with a fifth and a fourth before an unplaced run last time. Our rating of 72 sits a few pounds above his official 69, though 135 lb is a hefty burden.

Comment
Another Investment is winless in his last six, with back-to-back ninth-place finishes and a second six starts back the best of that run, though he's only ten days since his last outing and has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 71 sits above his official 65, but carrying 131 lb from stall 13 leaves plenty to prove.
