Runner by runner

Hees Dynamite Darragh O'Keeffe · E McNamara

Fourth last time out, just ten days ago, and a fifth two starts back, so he's fit and consistent without being winless-proof, having run over today's trip and going before. A burden of 166 lb and a yard struggling at 1/27 hold him back, though our rating of 103 sits fifth of ten.

Orkneys Jack Mr J P Sampson(7) · L Young

Orkneys Jack has run over today's going and carries 166 lb, while our rating of 108 ranks him third of ten, with a win five starts back and a third four starts back showing he can get involved. The risk is a seventh last time out and a 51-day break.

Survivors Sister Danny Gilligan · Paul John Gilligan

Survivors Sister has been below her best lately, with an eighth last time out and a ninth before that, though a third three starts back shows there is some ability. She has run on today's going and returns after 25 days, but she is winless in her last five and carries 166 lb.

Juke Hill Sam Ewing · Gordon Elliott

Juke Hill has finished fifth last time out, with a fourth two starts back, and he is winless in his last five, so he looks a midfield type. Fit after 12 days and having run over today's trip, he is held back by 164 lb off an official mark of 100.

Prince Palace Mr R Sugrue(7) · P J Rothwell

Rated 112 by us, second of ten and 12 lb clear of his official 100, Prince Palace has the ammunition to threaten, and he has run over today's trip and going before. The big risk is form: pulled up last time out, with a trainer going 1/29 lately.

Oneforgonzo Phillip Enright · Sean Aherne

Oneforgonzo returns after 29 days with a win five starts back, and has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 103 ranks him fourth of ten and makes him a live threat off an official 98. The main risk is that he's finished a sixth last time out, a fourth two starts back, and carries 162 lb.

Heroes Of Renown Paddy Hanlon(5) · John Joseph Hanlon

Heroes Of Renown comes in on solid recent form, third last time out and second two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our top-rated runner at 117 is a leading contender despite 135 days off and 159 lb, though he is yet to win in his last five.

Swing Time Aidan Kelly · V T O'Brien

Pulled up last time out and only a winner two starts back in an otherwise patchy run of form, Swing Time is hard to fancy, and a quick return after six days under 155 lb doesn't help. He has run over today's trip and going, and our figures rank him last of ten.

Mount Shenshan Sean Cleary-Farrell(7) · Thomas Mullins

Mount Shenshan won last time out, but that was her only success in her last six starts, with a sixth and a fifth in the mix before it, and she turns out again just five days later under 149 lb. She has run over today's trip and going, yet our figures rank her eighth of ten.

Ballagh Star Daniel King · Mrs Y Dunleavy

Winless in his last five, with two pulled-up efforts and a ninth in that spell, Ballagh Star is hard to fancy, though a fourth last time out and a quick six-day turnaround show he is in some order. He has run over today's trip and going, but 148 lb is a big ask, and our figures rank him ninth of ten.
