Fort Randall won last time out and was also successful three starts back, with a third in between, and has run over today's trip and going before. A modest seventh further back in that form, and a rating only in the middle of this field, keep his claims in check.

Giant Haystacks won last time out and has run over today's trip and going before, a boost for this stronger assignment. That victory followed a run of modest finishes though, and he sits only 11th of 23 on our figures for this tougher test.

Sea Of Doubt has two runner-up finishes and a win among her last five starts, and has run over today's trip and going before — form that outstrips her position of 18th of 23 on our figures. A fortnight since her latest start keeps her fresh enough to feature.

Driveonwill has two unseated efforts among his last five starts clouding the picture, and he's hard to fancy at 20th of 23 on our figures. He does have a win in that spell and has run over today's going before, but the swings in form are hard to ignore.

Tell Us This gets the nod from us on his overall profile — a progressive sort with a win and a second among his last five starts, sharpened by a recent 16-day turnaround and with today's trip and going both covered. A modest fifth last time out is the only blot on an otherwise solid picture.

Drop A Threat has run over today's going before and followed a pulled-up effort with modest finishes since, but rates a strong fifth of 23 on our figures, well clear of his official mark. He's still without a win in his last five starts though, leaving questions over whether he can find the necessary polish.

A Snow White Park was runner-up in each of her last two starts and has run over today's trip and going before, form that puts her in the frame. She's still without a win in her last five starts, though, and a ninth further back is the blot on that record.

Stoneyford Lady's form has been modest since her last win, though a third last time out shows she's holding form, and she sits only 17th of 23 on our figures. Fresh off a quick 6-day turnaround and with today's trip and going already covered, she can't be entirely dismissed.

Herja has two runner-up finishes among her last five starts, plus a third, and has raced over today's trip and going before — a solid recent CV. She's still without a win in her last five starts, though, and a modest sixth last time out is the concern heading into this.

Crescent Moon followed a spell of three pulled-up efforts with back-to-back fifths, and has run over today's trip and going before — form that still tops this 23-strong field on our figures. She's without a win in that run, though, and a yard managing only a 5% strike rate lately is the obvious concern.
