Carries the highest average performance rating in this field and is a strong finisher who does his best work late, which suits the long run to the line here. But seven runs at this course and distance have produced no wins at all, which is hard to square with his otherwise solid figures, and he's drawn in the weakest box at this grade.

Drops down in grade after finishing fourth at a higher level last time out, which could bring some relief tonight, and carries the fastest recorded time in this field from the best-performing box at this grade. Course and distance form is fair at two wins and three places from ten. An all-rounder who races flexibly, giving him a squeak if the pace sets up right.

Only two races on file so far, both modest, and no course and distance form to speak of yet. A closer who does his best work late, but with so little evidence available it's hard to make a strong case either way. Trainer P Rutherford has a decent win rate at 28% which offers some encouragement.

A complete unknown tonight with no recorded races on file at all, so there is nothing concrete to judge him on beyond the fact that his trainer also handles the improving Coppice Cochise. Impossible to make a genuine case for or against him with no form to reference.
