Finished sixth last time out with form of 22, 26 and 44 in the races before that — solid without ever threatening to dominate this grade. Ranks only fourth on speed in this field and tends to finish from off the pace, which is less of an asset at Monmore 480 where the run to the first bend doesn't reward pure closers the way tighter tracks do. Trainer C S Fereday's yard has a modest strike rate at the track.

Only four starts to her name so the sample is thin, but she's shown steady improvement and was second last time out. Slowest in the field on the clock, which is hard to overlook, though trainer G A Griffiths boasts one of the better strike rates among this field's connections. Needs more experience before she can be fully trusted at this level.

Fast enough into the race but has a habit of running out of steam late on, and the recent form — 39, 34, 32 — sits below most of these. Weakest closing speed of the pace-minded runners in this field, meaning she'll need the finish to collapse in front of her rather than picking up the pieces herself. Hard to fancy from this draw against sharper form elsewhere.

Boasts the strongest finishing speed of any dog in this field and has touched a useful peak in recent form, but she's drawn in trap 6 — statistically the weakest box at this grade and distance. She'll need the pace up front to be strong enough to give her something to run at late on. Others have the stronger overall case on this evidence.
