A third last time out, honest without threatening to win, racing wide throughout in typical fashion. Second-fastest in this field on the clock, though her course-and-distance record doesn't back that speed up, just one win from nine runs at this trip and track. Her trainer shares conditions form with the pick's yard. Competitive without a standout edge, and the outside draw doesn't do her any particular favours.

Modest recent form — fifth last time out after a stumble, and generally mid-table across his last six starts without ever really threatening. Drawn in trap one, the best-performing box in this grade at just over 23% winners, which is his main asset tonight. Fourth on the clock and his last run was well off his best time. His trainer's record at these conditions is fair. The draw offers some hope but the recent form gives little to get excited about.

Tops the ratings on paper but the recent evidence is mixed — a modest fourth last time out, and while there's a win in the sequence a couple of months back, the pattern since has been up and down. He's some way off the fastest dogs in this field on the clock, and drawn in trap three, statistically the weakest box in this grade at just under 18% winners — a double concern for the nominal favourite. His trainer has a decent record at these conditions. The rating alone doesn't tell the full story here; the draw and the recent form both push against him.

Modest recent form, no better than fifth in her last start and generally towards the back of the field across her recent runs, with a couple of seconds mixed in further back to show she has some ability. Slowest dog in this field on the clock right now, some way off her own best. Races wide throughout. Her trainer's record at these conditions is the weakest of any handler in the race. Very little here to get excited about against this opposition tonight.
