Runner by runner
Dashing Dick Jack Dace · William Stone
Dashing Dick is without a win in his last six, but he has run over today's trip and going, returns after 19 days and tops our ratings at 71 with a speed figure of 75, ten pounds clear of his official mark of 65 to make him the one to beat from stall 1.
Albeseeingyer Luke Catton · Steph Hollinshead
Albeseeingyer has been consistent without a win, with a third two starts back and another third three starts back, but she was only ninth last time out, 27 days ago. She has run over today's trip and going, yet 140 lb from draw 10 asks plenty of a mare yet to win.
Folkene Conor Whiteley(3) · Roger Fell
Folkene has been knocking on the door with fourths two and four starts back, and she is fresh enough after 14 days, having run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 69 sits above her official 65, but she is yet to win in her last six and was eighth last time out.
Moostar Oliver Hoodless(7) · James Owen
Moostar is yet to win in her last six, but a second three starts back and a second six starts back show she can get involved, and she has run over today's trip and going. Two modest efforts latest and 61 days off are the concern.
Soca Star Shay Farmer(3) · Seb Spencer
Soca Star arrives in solid form, third last time out and second two starts back, and she's fit after 22 days off, with experience over today's trip and going. Yet to win in her last six, though, and 138 lb is the main risk.
Eyes Front Harry Vigors(3) · Edward Smyth-Osbourne
Third last time out and only 13 days ago, Eyes Front looks fit and consistent, with a win four starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 137 lb from draw 9, he's been held to fourth and fifth in between, and our rating of 68 ranks him sixth of ten.
Searchingtheblues Rose Dawes · Mark Usher
Winless in her last six, Searchingtheblues was ninth last time out, though a second three starts back and a fourth two starts back show she can hold a place. Quick back after 13 days and with experience of today's trip, she carries 135 lb from stall five, and our 63 ranks her seventh of ten.
Sir David Alex Jary · Nigel Tinkler
Sir David arrives fresh from a second last time out just 15 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going, but an eighth and a ninth in his last six starts show his inconsistency. Carrying 134 lb from draw 8, he is ranked ninth of ten on our figures, so he is hard to fancy.
Snaafy Seamus Cronin · David Loughnane
Snaafy is winless in his last six, beaten into eighth last time and a ninth before that, so he is hard to fancy, though he has run over today's trip and going and was second five starts back. Carrying 131 lb from stall 2, he is eighth of ten on our ratings.
Shark Two One Olivia Tubb(3) · Jessica Macey
Shark Two One won last time out, just 15 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going, but a sixth and a third before that give him little to build on. Ranked last of ten on our figures, he looks hard to fancy carrying 124 lb from stall seven.
