Runner by runner
Fandom Sean Levey · Richard Hannon
Fandom has shown glimpses of ability, finishing third twice in his last six starts, and having run over today's trip and going he arrives with relevant experience; winless in recent starts, but rated highest in the field and 27 days between runs suggests he returns fresh.
All Ways Glamorous Gina Mangan · Christopher Mason
All Ways Glamorous showed smart form when winning back-to-back three and four starts back, but back-to-back fourths in his last two runs temper enthusiasm; he has distance and going experience to call on and returns after 28 days, though 137 lb is a stiff ask.
King of Light Daniel Tudhope · Stuart Williams
King of Light has run over today's trip and going, and our rating puts him second among the 12 runners here — yet he is winless in his last six starts and a trainer striking at just four per cent over the past fortnight is a concern.
Ancient State Callum Rodriguez · Adam Kirby
Ancient State is hard to fancy on these figures, ranked 11 of 12 with a speed rating well below his official mark of 90, though his recent form is livelier than that — a winner last time out and three wins in his last six starts give him genuine claims of fitness and form.
Trilby P. J. McDonald · Sam England
Trilby showed his quality with a win three starts back and ran well into second two starts back, but a sixth last time out after just seven days off raises a fitness query; he has run over today's trip and going, and his draw of four gives him a neutral pitch from 131 lb.
Jel Pepper Pierre-Louis Jamin · Stuart Williams
Jel Pepper has run over today's distance and going, arrives fresh on a 14-day break, and a rating of 99 ranks him third of 12, suggesting he holds strong claims; the main concern is a yard firing at just 4% in recent weeks.
Hucklesbrook Joanna Mason · Roger Teal
Winless in his last five starts, Hucklesbrook does at least bring a third last time out and experience over today's trip, but 42 days off and a patchy recent record make him a tough sell from stall 3 at 128 lb.
Rhythm N Hooves Cieren Fallon · Robert Cowell
Rhythm N Hooves ranks tenth of twelve on our figures, and a sequence of three eighths in his last four starts makes him hard to fancy despite a win two starts back; experience over today's trip and going, plus a fresh enough 21-day break, are the modest positives on offer.
Stargazed Sam James · K. R. Burke
Stargazed has distance experience to call on and a rating of 93 suggests she is capable of better than her recent finishes imply, making her a genuine threat from stall ten at 124 lb — though her winless run in her last five starts is the obvious concern.
Elara May Ashley Lewis(3) · Philip McBride
Winless in her last five starts, Elara May faces a stiff task from stall 12 on 124 lb, and our rating ranks her ninth of twelve; she does have experience over today's trip and conditions, and a placed run last time out offers slim encouragement.
Boston Dan Sean Kirrane · Tim Easterby
Boston Dan won two starts back but has failed to fire either side of that success, including an unplaced effort just eight days ago, leaving fitness a minor concern; he has run over today's trip and going before and carries 123 lb from stall one.
Roach Power John Egan · Michael Wigham
Winless in his last six starts and ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Roach Power makes this look a stiff ask, though he has run over today's trip and going before and returns on a relatively fresh 20 days since his last outing.
