Runner by runner
Fantasy World Oisin Murphy · Andrew Balding
Fantasy World won two starts back and brings solid recent form into this, having also scored in his last five starts — he has run over today's trip and going, and at 138 lb he faces a stern test, though his rating of 102 marks him as the one to beat.
Valedictory Robert Havlin · John & Thady Gosden
Valedictory won back-to-back races in his last six starts and returns fit on 25 days' rest, with experience of today's trip and going and a trainer firing at 33% — the chief concern is his seventh last time out suggesting he can run below his best.
Ernst Blofeld Callum Rodriguez · Hamad Al Jehani
Ernst Blofeld has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 101 puts him right among the leading contenders at 23 days between runs suggesting he arrives fresh; the worry is that he has failed to reach the frame in his last three starts.
Team Player Greg Fairley · Ewan Whillans
Team Player was unplaced last time out and ranks seventh of nine on our figures, making him hard to fancy at the weights. There is something to work with — a second two starts back and experience over today's trip and going — but the overall profile makes him difficult to recommend.
Say What You See Billy Garritty · Liam Bailey
Ranked bottom of nine on our figures, Say What You See is hard to fancy at the weights despite some credit in recent starts — a winner three starts back, and third last time out, suggesting he retains some form, with going experience also in his favour.
Dancing In Paris David Probert · Ian Williams
Dancing In Paris arrives here a winner last time out and our rating of 97 puts him clear of most rivals; he has run over today's trip and going, and 129 lb is the chief concern.
Boatswain Callum Shepherd · Simon & Ed Crisford
Boatswain has experience of today's trip and conditions and boasts a win two starts back, but his last outing — an eighth — clouds his claims, and at 127 lb there is plenty to carry here.
Arqoob Harry Davies · Lucy Wadham
Arqoob arrives on the back of back-to-back wins and has run over today's trip and going, though ranked sixth of nine on our figures and carrying 127 lb, he faces a stiff ask to defy that burden against stronger company.
All In You Edward Greatrex · Warren Greatrex
All In You has won twice in his last four starts, but back-to-back defeats since — including a ninth last time out — make him hard to fancy returning after 89 days off, and he ranks eighth of nine on our figures.
