Comment
Winless in her last three starts and ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Sax Avoidance faces a stiff task here, though she has run over today's trip before and a third last time out offers a crumb of encouragement heading into this on a handy 17-day turnaround.

Has raced over this trip before, and was runner-up two starts back, and a winner three starts back, but that eighth last time out is a concern; at 130 lb from stall 3, he arrives fit on a 15-day turnaround with our rating nudging above his official mark.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked eighth of ten on our figures, Next Guilian faces a stiff ask here; a third five starts back offers a crumb of comfort, and he has experience of today's going, but the weight of 133 lb does little to help his cause.

Relentless Hero showed his best when winning four starts back, and at 16 days' absence he arrives fresh enough to build on that, having run over today's trip before. Carrying 132 lb from stall eight, his recent form has been modest, but conditions look to suit a renewed effort.

Mid Flight is winless in his last three starts, with an eighth two runs back his best recent effort, and he carries a stiff 133 lb from stall one. The 37-day break at least suggests connections have had time to find some improvement.

Comment
Winless in her last four starts, Miss Guinevere nonetheless brings solid profile credentials — she has run over today's trip and going, is fit from a 21-day break, and a rating of 72 underlines her latent quality; the risk is she must prove she can convert consistency into a win.

Comment
Winless in her last three starts and ranked ninth of ten on our figures, Scarlet Letter faces a stiff ask here, with a trainer who has drawn a blank in 24 outings over the past fortnight doing little to inspire confidence; experience over today's trip and going is the one genuine positive.

Winless in his last five starts and returning after 105 days off, Gatlinburg faces a stiff ask, though he has run over today's trip before and a rating of 70 offers a sliver of encouragement from stall two carrying 127 lb.

Comment
Eljowhary arrives here as our top-rated runner in the field, and he has experience of today's trip and conditions to draw on; yet to score in his last five starts, that winless streak is the chief concern he must overcome from stall five carrying 135 lb.

Winless in her last five starts, Fanciulla Del West arrives fresh on 21 days' rest, has run over today's trip, and our rating of 74 marks her out as a leading threat from stall four — the main concern is her fifth last time out suggesting she may need everything to go right.
