Finished fourth last time out after a win at the grade below the start before, so there's recent winning form even if it's mixed with some flatter efforts. A confirmed fader who shows plenty early but doesn't sustain it, and drawn in the weakest box at this grade, which has produced under one in ten winners recently. His trainer's record in these conditions is respectable, sitting above most of the field, but the draw is working hard against him tonight.

Finished a well-beaten sixth last time out after a win at the grade below a few weeks earlier, so the level of tonight's grade looks a stretch on that evidence. The slowest recorded last-time clocking of the field backs up the concern, well off his own personal best. Trap five hasn't been among the stronger boxes at this grade and his trainer's record in these conditions is modest. Others have much stronger recent claims at this level.

Won at the grade below last time out at a big price, but the form through the rest of his recent starts has been patchy, including a well-beaten sixth just a week before that win. He is drawn in the best-performing box at this grade, which has won at over one in three, a genuine structural positive. The recorded times are the slowest of this field though, and his trainer's record in these conditions is modest. The draw gives him a squeak, but the clock and the inconsistent form are against him stepping up to face this stronger company.
