Runner by runner

Galilean Quality Clifford Lee · K. R. Burke

Galilean Quality arrives on the back of a win two starts ago and has been placed last time out, showing he is in fine fettle just 14 days on; he has run over today's trip and, carrying 135 lb, his consistency across recent starts makes him the one to side with.

Mythical Bay Daniel Tudhope · Andrew Balding

Mythical Bay arrives in fine nick, a winner two starts back and boasting three wins in his last six starts, with experience over today's trip and a lively rating of 97 backing his claims — the ninth last time out is the one blot that must be explained.

Pierre Grosse Keithen Kennedy(5) · Mrs John Harrington

Pierre Grosse has placed twice in his last three starts but that elusive win continues to escape him, and while he has a solid profile of consistency and goes into this fresh enough after 28 days off, carrying 123 lb on a mark of 84 may prove a stiff ask.

Asia Force William Buick · K. R. Burke

Asia Force won last time out and has run over today's trip, but ranked sixth of eight on our ratings, he faces a stiff task confirming that form counts for enough here, despite the 122 lb burden looking manageable on an official mark of 83.

Lopeo Hector Crouch · David Menuisier

Lopeo showed smart form with back-to-back seconds before a seventh last time out, and has experience over today's trip and conditions carrying 122 lb; our rating of 91 marks him as a leading threat, though that 63-day absence is the one factor to weigh up.

Reem Rak Ray Dawson · Roger Varian

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Reem Rak faces a stiff ask, though she arrives in fair nick — third last time out, and a winner two starts back — and has run over today's trip before.

Bridge Of Eagles Laura Pearson · David Menuisier

Bridge Of Eagles shaped with plenty of credit when third last time out and, rated 87 by our assessors, has the quality to pose a serious threat here; the main risk is a 63-day absence on his return.

Cotton Bud Tyler Heard · Shaun Lycett

Ranked well below the field on our figures, Cotton Bud has failed to hit the frame in her last two starts and faces a stiff ask here, though she does have experience over today's trip and a win three starts back offers some encouragement.
