Competitive without winning in recent starts, and his figures put him firmly in the mix - a fair speed rating and a workable draw from the wide box at nearly 22 percent. His trainer has barely had a runner in these exact conditions, so there's no real trainer signal either way to lean on. Respected on the whole, but the very fastest and best-supported runners in this field look to be elsewhere tonight.

A 30% career winner from 43 starts - a genuinely strong underlying strike rate - but arrives here after a huge step down from open-grade racing over nearly twice tonight's distance, so this is close to a different discipline for her on paper. Drawn in the weakest box in this exact grade at just 18%, which doesn't help the transition. Capable of anything on raw ability but this looks a stiff ask to adapt to straight away.

Drawn in the best-performing box in this exact grade at almost 24 percent, sharing the same in-form trainer as the market leaders. Her own figures are a level below the pace-setters at the top of this field, without a recent win, but the draw gives her a fighting chance of picking up a place if the fast starters cut each other up early. A each-way interest on the strength of the box alone.
