Lauderdale King arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out and again two starts back, and he has run over today's trip after a 21-day break. Carrying 133 lb off an official mark of 73, though, he is ranked only 12th of 16 on our rating.

Comment
Rakki showed up well with a fourth last time out, 14 days ago, and a winner two starts back, though a fifth three starts back shows his consistency is patchy. He has run over today's trip and carries 134 lb off a mark of 74, while our rating of 75 ranks him tenth of 16.

Comment
Pillar Of Hope arrives fresh from a win last time out just 14 days ago, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before; our rating of 82 puts him second of 16. The risk is a patchy record before that, with an eighth two starts back.

Comment
Fourth last time out and a winner two starts back, she's back quickly after just 12 days and has run over today's trip and going, though a ninth and an unseated rider earlier in that run suggest inconsistency, and 132 lb with our rating ranking her 11th of 16 caps her appeal.

Justenzia arrives in good heart, runner-up last time out and again two starts back, fresh from a 15-day break, and has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 80 sits well clear of her official 72, but she is yet to win and 132 lb is a hefty burden.

Comment
Mocking is our top-rated runner, and he has run over today's trip and going before, with a win five starts back among his last five outings. He returns fresh after 32 days, though a ninth last time out is the one blot, and his 86 rating sits well clear of his official 77.

Comment
Connecteo won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but he was unplaced two starts back and sits bottom of our 16-runner ranking on a 65 rating, so he's hard to fancy off 123 lb and an official mark of 69. Fit enough after 14 days.

Fourth last time out and a second two starts back suggest Flying Fortress is in decent shape, and he has run over today's trip and going, though he is yet to win in his last five and returns after 42 days off carrying 133 lb. Our rating of 78 only ranks him eighth of 16.

Winner three starts back, but unplaced in his last two outings and 42 days off the track, so fitness is a question; he has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 79 against an official 75 keeps him in the mix, though 129 lb is a hefty burden.

Eighth last time out and off a 112-day break, Earthsong is hard to fancy, though she did win two starts back and has run over today's trip. Carrying 133 lb off an official 73, she is ranked 14 of 16 on our figures.

Comment
Ephesus has been well beaten recently, unplaced last time out and a sixth two starts back, and is yet to win in his last five, though he's back quickly after 14 days and has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 79 against an official 72 hints at a bit more, but 132 lb is a burden.

Comment
Ehteyat is yet to win in his last five starts, but a second five starts back and a third four starts back show he can get into the shake-up, and our rating of 82 ranks him third of 16 against an official 75. He has run over today's trip and going, but he's been unplaced last time out, so the main risk is that form having tailed off.

Unfold looks unexposed and open to improvement, having won two starts back, with a second three starts back and a fifth last time out. He returns after 349 days off, so fitness is the question, and he carries 132 lb off an official mark of 72.

Comment
L'Un Deux Trois has been beaten last time out, and his only win in the last five came two starts back, so consistency is a concern. Ranked 13 of 16 on our figures, he is hard to fancy, though 21 days since his last run, experience of today's trip and going, and an official mark of 64 offer some support.

Winless in his last four, finishing seventh last time out, unplaced two starts back, then a seventh three starts back, Oh So Charming returns after 47 days and has run over today's trip. Our rating of 76 sits above his official 72, but 132 lb is a hefty burden.
