Always Perfect won last time out and also took a race three starts back, which counts in her favour, but ranked ninth of ten on our figures she faces a stiff ask here, and 132 lb is no help either.

Havana Smile shaped with plenty of promise when third last time out, returning after just 13 days, and he has experience of both today's trip and going; the main risk is whether he can reproduce that level from stall ten carrying 137 lb.

Moe's Legacy shaped with promise when second three starts back and steps up as a lively threat here, with experience over today's trip and going working in her favour off a quick seven-day turnaround; the concern is that she has been winless in her last six starts.

Third two starts back and a winner three starts ago, On Edge brings solid recent form into this, and his experience over today's trip and going counts in his favour; however, that seventh last time out and 137 lb to carry are clear negatives to weigh up.

Comment
Third last time out after winning two starts back, Isle Of Lismore arrives on a sharp 15-day turnaround in fine heart, and his experience over today's trip and going is a clear asset; carrying 134 lb from stall one, he looks the one to side with.

Merrimack won three starts back but has posted back-to-back fourths since, and our figures rank him eighth of ten in this field. He has run over today's trip and going, and 18 days since his last run suggests he is fit, but the weight of 138 lb adds little appeal at these odds.

Comment
Winless in his last six starts, Lazzar does at least bring distance and going experience to the table and has shaped with some promise — a second four starts back offset by a sixth two starts back — but a rating of 75 and 128 lb from stall six leave him facing an uphill task from midfield ranking.

Comment
Ranked top of the field on our ratings, Cayman Tai has run over today's trip and going and arrives fit on just 11 days' rest, yet to score in his last six starts and with a trainer running at only 4% over the past fortnight, that stable dip is the primary concern.
