Comment
Placed second last time out and third four starts back, The Quiet Gent has shown enough in recent starts to suggest a bold showing is possible, though winless in his last five and that mid-table ranking on ratings tempers expectations at 133 lb from stall six.

Supreme King won three starts back and has experience of today's trip and conditions, so the ingredients are there for a bold show off a sharp 13-day turnaround; the concern is that he has finished fifth and sixth in his two most recent outings.

Safari Dream has won twice in his last three starts and returns after 21 days in decent nick, but ranked eighth of nine on our figures he faces a stiff ask against this field, and 130 lb is no assistance to his cause.

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Tenbob Tommy faces a stiff ask here, though he does arrive on the back of a placed effort last time and has run over today's trip before; two wins in his last five starts show he is capable, but the weight of 131 lb is a further concern.

Sergeant Pep is a consistent sort who has finished third, second, third, and second in four of his last five starts, yet remains winless in recent outings and will need to find that extra gear to go one better; he has run over today's trip and going before, returns fit on 13 days' rest, and carries 133 lb from stall seven.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked seventh of nine on our figures, Padua is hard to fancy despite being placed last time out and having run over today's trip; the 131 lb burden does him no favours either.

Rare Change landed a winner four starts back and has experience of today's trip and going, with his 136 lb burden from stall 4 the main concern after three successive sevenths in recent starts.
