Comment
Ranked ninth of eleven on our figures, Massimo Blue is hard to fancy despite his win last time out, as the speed rating of 67 leaves him well short of the principals; he has run over today's trip and going, and 11 days since that victory suggests he arrives fresh.

Runner-up last time out and a winner two starts back, Miraculous arrives fit on a six-day turnaround and has experience of today's trip and going; he carries 139 lb from stall one, and though his trainer is in a lean spell, his recent form makes him the one to side with.

Fenlander has won three times in his last six starts, most recently a winner three starts back, though fifth last time out and third two starts back suggest inconsistency; experience over today's trip and going is a plus, but 138 lb from stall six is no small ask.

Ranked top of the field on our ratings with a speed figure of 84, Bergerac has experience of today's distance and going and returns on a fresh 16 days, yet his five winless recent outings and a trainer striking at just 3% are the concerns to weigh.

Flash Rascal won two starts back and was third three starts back, showing he can compete at this level, but that eighth last time out is a concern; he has run over today's trip and going, and 135 lb is no light burden.

Jenever shaped with plenty of promise when third two starts back and returns in good order just 16 days later, his experience over today's trip and going a clear asset at 137 lb; the risk is that he has been winless in his last six starts.

Comment
Azure Zain advertises strong claims on the back of a win three starts back, and having run over today's distance and going he arrives with relevant experience; carrying 140 lb from stall 10 is the chief concern, and his two subsequent sixth-place finishes demand respect.

Daytona Lady has experience over today's trip and going, and a second last time out keeps her involved on a workable mark, though she has been winless in her last six starts and a rating of 74 suggests she faces a stiff task from the middle of the field.

Brazen Idol has been winless in his last six starts, with only a pair of seconds to show for it, and ranked tenth of eleven on our figures he faces a stiff task here; the experience over today's trip and going at least means conditions hold no fresh concerns.

Escape Plan has struggled badly in his last four starts, finishing no better than seventh in three of them, and our figures rank him last of the eleven runners here; the third last time out offers a crumb of comfort, and he has run over today's distance and going before, but 130 lb makes the task harder still.

Comment
Winless in his last five starts and returning from a 700-day absence, Crypto Quest faces a stiff ask, though he has run over today's trip and going before and has placed twice in recent starts; a trainer strike-rate of just 5% over the past fortnight adds further cause for caution.
