Won last time out and shares the fastest recorded time in this field, so there's plenty to like on the clock. Trap 3 hasn't been a strong box at this grade though, and he tends to weaken in the closing stages after a bright start, which is a risk if this race turns into a battle rather than a canter. A fair top-three claim rather than an banker.

Also won last time out and has been racing consistently well at this grade, with eight places from ten course and distance starts showing she's rarely far away. Trap 4 has been the weakest box at this grade though, which is a real obstacle to overcome from a wide field. Each-way claims given the poor draw.

The slowest recorded dog in this field by a clear margin, and while she has a couple of course and distance wins on her record, her recent times don't suggest she can trouble the pace-setters here. A reasonable box in trap 5 isn't enough to offset the gap on the clock. Hard to fancy for anything more than minor honours.

Gets the best draw on the card — trap 6 has produced almost a quarter of the winners at this grade. His recorded times are respectable without matching the very fastest in the field, and he's coming off a below-par run last time. The draw alone keeps him firmly in these calculations against a field with faster individual form.
