Third in each of his last two starts, having also unseated three starts back — solid, workmanlike form without a win in his last four. Quick to reappear just five days on, and with experience over today's trip and going, he's rated clear of this Class 5 field and looks the one to beat.

Successful last time out, with a second, an unplaced effort, a fourth and another second in the four runs before that — consistent form capped by a win at the right moment. Back after 29 days with experience over today's trip and going, she rates a leading danger on our figures.

A modest sixth last time out, but that follows a win four starts back, and a second three starts back — the ability is clearly there when conditions suit. Fresh from a 28-day break with experience over today's trip and going, he's rated well above his official mark and rates among the leading dangers.

A win two starts back is the standout form line, sandwiched by finishes of unplaced, ninth and fourth this term — clear ability when it goes right. Fit again 11 days on with experience over today's trip, she rates among the leading dangers on our figures.
