A fifth last time out after being checked continues a mixed run, though there was a strong second a few starts back where he ran on well from the middle. A fast-early type who tends to lose ground in the closing stages, which can be a factor at this minimum trip if the sprint finish is truly fast. Fourth on the clock in this field. His course-and-distance record is modest at one win from eight. His trainer has a fair record at these conditions. Capable of forcing a fast pace but the fading tendency and modest course form limit the claims.

Consistently mid-table without ever really threatening — no better than third in his last six starts, generally finishing around fourth. Third on the clock in this field, close to the pace-setters, and drawn in trap three, a fair box at this trip. His course-and-distance record shows no wins from ten runs at this trip, a genuine concern given how many attempts he's had. His trainer's record at these conditions is on the weaker side. Honest but yet to find the finishing touch here.

Struggling for form — nothing better than fifth in his last five starts, and a couple of runs at the much longer 483-metre trip in there too, muddying the picture further. Slowest dog in this field on the clock right now, some way off a competitive figure at this level. His course-and-distance record is blank from seven runs. His trainer has a fair record at these conditions, the one point in his favour. Very little to recommend him against this opposition on the current evidence.
