Comment
Big Bill won two starts back but was only sixth last time, and he's back after just seven days; he has run over today's trip and going before, though 138 lb from stall one and a rating of 57 that ranks eighth of 14 leave him a midfield sort.

Comment
Movin And Groovin was a seventh last time out after a third two starts back, and she won three starts back, so there is some ability in the book. She has run over today's trip and going, but 127 lb from draw 3 and a 32-day break leave plenty to prove, with our rating of 54 ranking her ninth of 14.

Comment
La Tulipe Noire is winless in her last six, with a fifth four starts back the best of a patchy run, though she's fresh enough after 20 days and has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 60 sits two pounds above her official 58, but 140 lb is a hefty burden.

Comment
Winless in his last five, Draiocht was fifth last time out a week ago, and a ninth two starts back shows how patchy he has been, so he is hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, and a third four starts back is the pick of it, but our figures rank him last of 14 from stall 11.

Comment
Mogwli is winless in his last six, with a fourth last time out the best of a poor bunch and unplaced efforts before that, so he is hard to fancy at 122 lb from stall four. He is quick back after four days and has run over today's trip and going, while our rating of 47 ranks him 11th of 14.

Comment
Navagio has been unplaced last time out and has finished sixth and ninth in the runs before, yet he has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 65 ranks him top of 14 against an official 58. The risk is that he is yet to win in his last six, carrying 140 lb from stall seven.

Cosmic Funk comes here consistent, with a fourth last time out and another fourth two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 64 ranks him fourth of 14, but he is yet to win in his last six starts, and 138 lb is a hefty burden.

Comment
Third last time out and only 12 days ago, Zabriskie Point arrives fresh and in decent heart, with experience of today's trip and going, while our rating of 64 sits well clear of his official 56. The risk is a winless run in his last six, with three fifths in that spell.

Comment
Little Miss P is yet to win in her last six starts, though a fifth last time out, just 12 days ago, hints at a bit of improvement, and she has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 134 lb from stall 14, she looks a midfield type, with our rating of 58 only seventh of 14.

Comment
Manhattan Dandy is winless in his last six, unplaced last time and a fourth two starts back, so he is hard to fancy, though a third four starts back, a quick 12-day turnaround and experience of today's trip and going count for something. Ranked 13th of 14 on our figures, he runs from draw 12 with 122 lb.

Comment
Unplaced in her last three outings, she did win four starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before, but a 68-day break and 130 lb from stall 13 make this a tall order, with her rating of 50 ranking tenth of 14.

Courtlough Gula is winless in her last four, unplaced last time out and a ninth three starts back, so she is hard to fancy off 127 lb from stall eight. She has run over today's trip and going and is back quickly after 11 days, but our rating of 46 ranks her 12th of 14.
