Comment
Onehundredneighty arrives in good heart, a winner last time out and second two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating still ranks him eighth of ten, and 162 lb on an official mark of 92 is a stiff task.

Noble Recall arrives quickly back from a third last time out, and a winner two starts back, with experience of today's trip and going, but a pulled up three starts back and 143 lb leave him hard to fancy. Our figures rank him ninth of ten.

Comment
Black Occ was second last time out and third two starts back, yet he is winless in his last five and returns after 131 days off, with a pulled up three starts back in the mix. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 91 sits above his official 86, though 156 lb is a hefty burden.

Calli Black has been beaten in all five recent runs, finishing eighth last time out and seventh two starts back, and returns after 103 days off. She has run over today's trip and going and our rating of 91 is above her official 85, but 155 lb is a hefty burden for a yet-to-win mare.

Comment
Disco Davis returns just 17 days after being pulled up, but he has run over today's trip and going, and a third five starts back shows his ability. Our rating of 116 puts him top of the ten, and 163 lb off an official 93 is the one concern.

Comment
Pop's Folly merits respect as one of the leading dangers: our rating of 92 ranks him fourth of ten, and he was third two starts back, while carrying 160 lb off an official mark of 90. The main risk is a 209-day absence, with a pulled up last time out.

Comment
Fourth last time out and a third three starts back show Tom Taggle is capable of running into the frame, and he has run over today's trip and going, but he is yet to win in his last four starts and returns after 200 days off. Our rating of 91 sits above his official 86, though 156 lb is a hefty burden.
