Comment
Vision De Maine returns after 197 days with three straight pull-ups behind him, but he was third four starts back, has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 112 ranks him second of 20 off an official 96. The big risk is that recent form plus a hefty 164 lb.

Comment
Roc My Haarth has run over today's trip and on this going, and he won three starts back, but he's finished sixth in his last two outings. Carrying 161 lb off an official mark of 93 after 28 days off, he looks a midfield sort, with our rating of 99 placing him seventh of 20.

Comment
Grace Faraday arrives in good heart, second last time out and a winner two starts back, with a fresh 20-day gap and experience of today's trip and going. Carrying 168 lb off a mark of 100 is a hefty burden, and an unseated three runs ago shows the form isn't flawless.

Comment
Laligurash is hard to fancy, winless in his last six and only eighth last time out, with a seventh and another eighth also in that run. A second two starts back is the one bright spot, and he's had 30 days to recover, but 149 lb is a big ask.

Comment
Winless in her last five, Lake Okeechobee is hard to fancy, though a third last time out, 30 days ago, is a step in the right direction and she has run on today's going before. Carrying 146 lb off a mark of 78, she still looks up against it.

Comment
Shotgun Jack has run over today's trip and going, and our top-ranked runner on a figure of 112 looks well treated off an official 97 carrying 165 lb. The big risk is a 301-day absence after a ninth last time out, with a string of poor finishes behind him.

Comment
Moonshine Girl was third last time out, and she has a winner three starts back, so she arrives in fair order after 20 days off, having run over today's trip and going. A weight of 161 lb and a slipped-up two starts back hold her back, while our rating of 92 ranks her 13th of 20.

Comment
Diamond Dollar won two and three starts back, but he fell last time out and returns after 279 days off, so fitness is the question. He has run on today's going and carries 164 lb off an official mark of 96, while our rating of 102 ranks him fifth of 20.

Comment
Boola Times arrives in decent heart after a third last time out, just 15 days ago, and a winner two starts back, though a pulled up five starts back shows his form has had wobbles. Carrying 165 lb off 97, he looks a solid midfield type, with our rating of 97 ranking him eighth of 20.

Comment
Silin Alainn is winless in her last five, finishing seventh last time out, and she has not been closer than eighth in the other runs we can see, so she is hard to fancy. Carrying 147 lb off 79, she does at least return after a fairly fresh 24 days, though our rating ranks her 19th of 20.

Comment
Elbow Lane is hard to fancy: he has finished seventh, ninth, unplaced and seventh in his last four runs, returns after 207 days off, and comes from a yard 0/20 lately. He has run on today's going and a third five starts back is the best of his form, but 156 lb is a big ask.

Madame Masque is winless in her last four, all unplaced, and returns after 97 days off, which leaves questions over fitness. Our rating of 94 sits three pounds above her official 91, but 159 lb is a stiff burden.

Comment
Three Tribes is hard to fancy after a pair of pulled-up efforts and a ninth in his last four runs, though a fourth last time out and a win five starts back show a spark. He's rated 81 by us, 18th of 20, and carries 144 lb off an official mark of 76.

Toor Moon is hard to fancy: he is winless in his last five, unplaced last time and unseated two starts back, and returns after 97 days off. He has run over today's trip and going, but 140 lb is a big ask, and our figures rank him 15th of 20.

Imperial Tune is winless in his last four, falling last time out after an unplaced effort and an eighth three starts back, and he returns from 133 days off. He has run over today's trip and going and our rating of 96 is a positive, but 148 lb is a lot to carry.

Mr Dibbs won four starts back and has run over today's trip and on this going, while our rating of 105 ranks him fourth of 20 and sits above his official 100. The risk is a poor run of late, unplaced last time after a sixth and an eighth, and 168 lb is a big weight after 45 days off.

Imbolc is hard to fancy: winless in his last five, with a faller and a pulled up in that sequence, unplaced twice since, and now returning after 197 days off. On the plus side, he has run over today's trip and going before, and an official rating of 72 gives him a chance.

Rockon Henry returns after 413 days off, having finished unplaced last time out, an eighth two starts back, a ninth three starts back and a sixth four starts back, so he is winless in recent starts. He has run on today's going and our rating ranks him 14th of 20, while 140 lb is a hefty burden off an official mark of 72.
