Comment
Back-to-back wins his last two starts, preceded by a second and a pair of eighths further back, show a gelding capable of big performances on his day. A 33-day absence and an unplaced effort earlier in the sequence add a note of caution, but with experience over today's trip and going he's a leading danger on our figures.

A win last time out was well backed up by thirds in the two runs before that, with an eighth and a seventh further back in the sequence — clear signs of an improving profile, and the yard is firing having landed 14 of its last 38 runners (37%) in the past fortnight. Quick to return just seven days on with experience over today's trip and going, she's the type we're siding with here.

Runner-up in each of his last two starts, and second again four starts back either side of an eighth, with a win the furthest back in this sequence — solid, workmanlike form. Fit again 27 days on with experience over today's trip and going, he rates competitively in midfield without obviously standing out.

A seventh last time out continues a mostly unplaced sequence, with only a sixth some way back to catch the eye — still without a win in his last six starts. Fit again after a 26-day break with experience over today's trip and going, he's ranked eighth of nine on our figures, though a notably stronger speed figure hints at a touch more ability than the results suggest.

Third last time out, and a win two starts back, sandwiched between modest efforts of seventh, sixth and an unplaced run further back — the talent is there when he brings his best. Fit again after a 29-day break with experience over today's trip and going, he's rated well clear of his official mark and rates a leading danger.

A fourth last time out follows a third and a win three starts back, with a fourth, a sixth and another win further back in the sequence — clear evidence he can find the frame when conditions suit. Back from a 45-day break with experience over today's trip and going, he rates a fair each-way sort in this midfield company.

Third last time out, and a second three starts back, sandwiched by two sixths — consistently competitive without a win in his last five runs. Fit again on a 14-day turnaround with experience over today's trip and going, he tops our figures in this field and rates the chief danger to our selection.

A pair of fourths either side of a seventh make for steady but unspectacular form, still without a win in her last three runs. Fit again after 44 days off with experience over today's trip and going, she's respectably weighted but ranked seventh of nine on our figures and hard to fancy for the places.

A seventh last time out is well below his best, with a third, a win, an eighth, a fourth and another third scattered through his last six starts — capable but frustratingly inconsistent. Fit again on a 20-day turnaround with experience over today's trip and going, but rated bottom of this field he needs the form to click at the right moment.
