Comment
Toastmaster is a leading threat, having finished third two starts back and won four starts back, with three thirds in his last six outings, and he has run over today's trip and going before. His main risk is a ninth last time out and a 41-day absence, while our rating of 85 ranks him top of nine.

Damsire: Lope De Vega (IRE)
Comment
Yimmna is winless in her last four, though a third last time out and a second two starts back show she's competitive, and she has run over today's trip. But 134 lb from stall seven, a 47-day break and a bottom-two ranking on our figures (eighth of nine) make her hard to fancy.

Comment
Mo Anam Chara arrives with two wins in her last five starts, a winner two starts back and four starts back, plus a second three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Fifth last time out is the main blemish, but 26 days' rest and a rating of 83 back our pick.

Comment
Mr Keble is winless in his last three, finishing fifth last time out and a fifth two starts back, though he is fresh enough after 13 days and has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 73 sits a pound below his official 74, and carrying 135 lb from stall three he looks a mid-pack type.

Fresh from a win last time out and back within seven days, Sterling Fortune has run over today's trip and going before, but she is unplaced two starts back, and 132 lb from draw 8 looks a lot; our rating ranks her fifth of nine.

Comment
New Bay Star is hard to fancy, beaten into seventh last time out and winless in his last six, with a second five starts back and a third six starts back now some way behind him. On the plus side, he has run over today's trip and going, and his yard is in good form.

Comment
Galba has been consistent, finishing fourth last time out, with a third two starts back and another third three starts back, and he has run over today's trip, but he is yet to win in his last six. Our rating of 77 sits above his official 71, though the main risk is a yard that is 0/21 in the last 14 days.

Comment
Starlight Sami won four starts back and has run over today's trip and going, while our rating of 79 ranks him third of nine, so he's a live threat from stall 2. The risk is a poor recent run, with a ninth last time and a seventh before, and 67 days off.

Winless in his last three, Vincenzo Bellini has finished seventh last time out, a sixth two starts back and a fifth three starts back, and returns after 68 days off carrying 129 lb. He has run over today's trip, but our rating of 55 ranks him ninth of nine, so he is hard to fancy.
