Comment
Consistent and in solid recent nick, Mr Noble has made the frame in all four of his last four starts, winning four back and placing every time since; he has run over today's trip and going before, and 33 days between runs leaves him fresh enough to go close again.

Comment
Ranked ninth of eleven on our figures, Haaderr is hard to fancy at the weights, though he did finish third last time out and is a winner three starts back, bringing some recent form to the table; experience over today's trip and going at least removes two unknowns.

Comment
Chalk Mountain won one from six in recent starts and has experience of today's trip and going, yet a seventh last time out tempers confidence; carrying 135 lb from stall five, his second two starts back offers some encouragement but consistency remains the concern.

Comment
Pietro arrives here after 83 days off the track, which is a fitness query, and his latest run was unplaced, but he showed better when third two starts back and a winner three starts back, giving his profile a mixed look; experience over today's trip and going helps, yet he faces a stiff ask from stall 11 off 136 lb.

Comment
Master Richard has been a model of consistency in recent starts, third last time out and a runner-up three starts back, with experience of today's trip and going in his favour; the main risk is 68 days off the track after carrying 138 lb from stall two.

Comment
Winless in her last five starts and not seen for 89 days, Fouette nevertheless holds a rating of 93 here — the highest in the field — and has experience over today's trip and going, with stall three drawn; the concern is whether she can convert that superiority on a comeback run.

Dublin Bay won last time out and has experience of today's trip and conditions, but he has been off the track for 90 days and, ranked eighth of eleven on our ratings, he faces a stiff ask returning from that layoff at 133 lb.

King Of Fury won two of his last six starts but has finished ninth most recently, and ranked tenth of eleven on our figures he faces a steep ask at the weights carrying 132 lb from stall nine, making him difficult to fancy despite the experience over today's trip and going.

Comment
Carron catches the eye on his return from 78 days off, boasting experience over today's trip and going, and his runner-up finish last time out underlines his current form — but the fitness of a horse absent nearly three months is the key question here.

Comment
Winless in his last six starts, New Image has at least run over today's trip and going, giving him some grounding, but a string of unplaced efforts and a fifth last time out make it hard to fancy him strongly, even if the weight at 131 lb and our rating of 89 hint at residual ability.

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures and carrying 130 lb from stall eight, King's School faces a stiff task here; he was beaten eighth last time out, and while he has experience over today's trip and going, that recent decline is hard to overlook.
