Comment
Midnight Lir is a quick-back-up type, turning out just four days after a sixth last time out, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating has him second of 10, though he is winless in his last six and a mark of 54 under 134 lb is the main risk.

Comment
Tomarlo has a win four starts back and a third five starts back, and he has run over today's trip and on the going before, so he commands respect at a workable mark of 55 from stall three. The risk is a stable struggling at 0/21 in the last 14 days, plus a sixth last time out.

Comment
Timebar has twice finished second, three and four starts back, but he has faded to a seventh and an eighth since, and he's yet to win in that run. He's back quickly after 11 days, has run over this trip and going, and our rating of 53 sits above his official 46.

Ten Cuidado is winless in his last six, with a third four starts back his best finish and an unplaced effort last time out, though he's fresh enough after seven days and has run over today's trip and going. Rated 48 by us, he's seventh of 10 and carries 127 lb from draw 4.

Mister Moet has been unplaced in his last two and is winless in recent starts, with a fifth and a fourth further back, though he has run over today's trip and going and returns after 27 days. Our rating of 54 sits above his official 50, but 130 lb from stall eight is a hurdle.

Comment
Fancy Dancer is our pick on profile: she was second two and three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before, returning fresh after 24 days. A ninth last time out is the one blot, and she is yet to win in her last six.

Comment
Winless in his last five, with finishes of ninth last time out and a ninth five starts back, Lil Wade is hard to fancy, and he's turned out again just four days later. He has run over today's trip and going before, and a mark of 40 is modest, though our rating of 37 ranks him ninth of ten.

Beautiful Rumour is winless in his last four, finishing ninth last time out and a ninth four starts back, and he is quickly back after seven days. He has run over today's trip and going, and a fourth three starts back is his best recent effort, but our figures rate him tenth of ten.
