Al Aali won last time out but that followed a run of modest efforts, two fifths, a seventh and an eighth. He has already raced over today's trip and going, is quick to return just 11 days later, but sits among the outsiders on our figures.

Diego El Queso was runner-up last time out and has a win among his last five starts, form that reads well despite an eighth further back. He has already raced over today's trip and going, back 19 days after that run, and rates competitively in the middle of this field.

Twisting Physics won last time out and has two wins among his last five starts, so his form has picked up of late. He has already raced over today's trip and going, but is bottom of our figures for this field, so more is needed to feature.

Yabher has three wins in his last five starts but has also failed to place twice in that spell, a pattern of feast or famine. He has already raced over today's trip and going, back 17 days on, and sits mid-table on our figures for this large field.

Wave Rider has a win among his last five starts and was placed in four of them, form with real substance. But he sits near the bottom of our figures for this field and has not run for 129 days, a lot to overcome.

Night Breeze has a win in his last six starts and has generally raced creditably, with a second and two thirds also among that sequence. He has already raced over today's trip and going, but sits down among the also-rans on our figures, so this looks competitive for him.

Rathgar was third last time out and has two wins among his last five starts, so the ability is clearly there. He has already raced over today's trip and going, but sits well down our figures for this field, with a ninth in that recent spell a reminder of his inconsistency.

Tony Montana is yet to win in his last five starts, though a second featured in that spell to show he can be competitive. He has already raced over today's trip and going, but returns from a lengthy 74-day absence, and was only eighth when last seen.

Torito is yet to win in his last five starts but ranks second on our figures for this field, with a best of third in that sequence. He has already raced over today's trip and going, though a 209-day absence since his last run is the major concern.

Henlein is yet to win in his last four starts, with two unplaced efforts alongside a seventh and a ninth in that sequence. He returns 41 days after that last run, sitting mid-table on our figures, and needs more all-round consistency to feature.

Bolster is yet to win in his last five starts, and his last two runs, both ninths, were below the level shown earlier in that sequence. He has already raced over today's trip and going, and a 53-day break offers a possible reset before this bigger test.
