Frustratingly consistent without getting his head in front, second again last time down to a mile, and this in-form sort remains competitive back over today's trip and going; first-time blinkers may just find the finishing dig he needs to go one better.

Yet to get his head in front but right at home in this grade, second last time beaten only a neck, and with today's trip and going proven, he rates the one to beat on these figures; a month's absence is the sole concern.

A third earlier in the campaign hints at more than his last two efforts suggest, and first-time hood may sharpen him further, with a speed figure to match the leading pair; race fitness and a tendency to get worked up early are the obvious knocks.

Well held in all four starts this term without a real sign of encouragement, though she handles today's going and seven furlongs looks workable enough; rated the outsider of the field on our figures, she needs to find plenty more to feature.

Well beaten last time and without a sign of note across his last five starts, though he does arrive with today's trip and going proven and an official mark above our own reading of his form; needs plenty more to have a squeak in this company.

Struggled last time, comfortably held after showing little, though a drop back in trip could yet spark an improvement hinted at by a sharper speed figure than the bare form suggests; needs to bounce back from a well-beaten effort to feature strongly.

Struggling for form, well held in this company with barely a positive sign in her last five starts, and stepping up beyond the minimum trip she seems to prefer does not help her cause; a sharper speed figure offers the only real hope.
