Runner by runner

Tio Joao Patrick McGettigan(5) · Robson De Aguiar

Quickly turned out just 11 days after a fifth last time out, Tio Joao has run over today's trip and going before, and his 70 rating ranks him fourth of nine. The main risk is that he is winless in his last three, with a seventh and a sixth before that.

Someday Somewhere Jack Kearney(3) · Stephen Thorne

Someday Somewhere is yet to win in her last five, but she was third five starts back and has been fourth twice since, so she's rarely far away, and she has run over today's trip. Our 75 rating tops the field of nine, though a seventh last time out is the one blot.

Scarlet Dream Adam Caffrey · Adrian McGuinness

Scarlet Dream is a fair threat on our figures, having finished fifth last time out and fourth two starts back, and she is fresh from a quick 11-day turnaround, with experience of today's trip and going. Yet to win in her last four, her main risk is a yard that is out of form, with just two winners from 42 lately.

Jisir Robbie Colgan · Denis Gerard Hogan

Jisir is winless in his last three, unplaced each time, and returns after 33 days off, which doesn't scream sharpness. He has run over today's trip and sits on an official 63 from stall three, but carrying 131 lb leaves plenty to prove.

New Mexico Rowan Scott · Robson De Aguiar

New Mexico is a leading danger on our figures, with a rating of 70 well clear of his official 61, and he's fresh enough after 15 days off and has run over today's trip. The risk is clear, though: he's yet to win and has finished ninth last time out, sliding through the field in his last four.

Snapequus J M Sheridan · Joseph Patrick O'Brien

Snapequus is winless in his last three, finishing seventh last time out after two unplaced efforts, and that makes him hard to fancy off 129 lb from stall four. He has run over today's trip and is back after 23 days, but our figures rank him seventh of nine.

Mutamarid Lsk James Ryan · Daniel James Murphy

Winless in his last three, Mutamarid Lsk was unplaced last time out and two starts back, with an eighth three starts back, and he returns after 54 days off. He has run over today's trip and runs from stall six off 124 lb, but our figures rank him ninth of nine, so he is hard to fancy.

Little Diva Sadhbh Tormey(7) · T G McCourt

Little Diva is winless in her last five, with nothing better than a fifth five starts back and unplaced last time out, so she is hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and is fresh enough after 15 days, but 123 lb from stall two does little to lift her.

Littlepacer Jessica Maye(7) · J. P. Murtagh

Littlepacer was third last time out, but she is winless in her last four and was unplaced in the two runs before that. She has run over today's trip and returns after 58 days off, while 121 lb from stall one asks for a step up.
