Runner by runner

Confucius Tom Marquand · Aidan O'Brien

Confucius shaped with real promise when third last time out and third two starts back, and his experience over today's trip and going underlines his claims as the chief danger here; the concern is whether 70 days off has left him short of peak sharpness.

Force Noir David Egan · Robson De Aguiar

Force Noir bounced back to winning ways last time out and, with two wins in his last four starts, he arrives in good heart — has run over today's trip and going before, carries 128 lb from stall 3, and an 8-day turnaround keeps him fresh; the unplaced effort two starts back is the one query on his recent form.

Hell of A Spin M. P. Sheehy · Adrian Keatley

Consistent and in good heart, Hell of A Spin brings a win three starts back and has been placed in both outings since, with experience over today's trip and going an asset; carrying 128 lb from stall 2 after a 36-day break, he looks primed to go close.

Inner City Blues William Buick · Charlie Appleby

Inner City Blues arrives on a winning streak, scoring in each of his last two starts, but a 79-day absence and our rating leaving him well below the top of the market make him a hard sell here despite his experience over today's trip and going.

Marco Polo Ryan Moore · Aidan O'Brien

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures with a speed rating of 80, Marco Polo is hard to fancy despite winning last time out; he has experience of today's distance and going, but that form needs a significant upgrade to trouble these rivals.

Orthodox Rossa Ryan · Clive Cox

Orthodox boasts two wins in his last three starts and has run over today's trip and going, making him a serious threat carrying 128 lb from stall 7, though that sixth last time out is the one result rivals will be hoping signals a vulnerability.

Push The Boat Out Shane Foley · M D O'Callaghan

Back-to-back wins give Push The Boat Out a strong hand coming in, and 28 days off looks a fresh, ready turnaround; he has run over today's trip and going before, though a rating of 104 ranks him fifth of seven, leaving him with ground to find on the pick of his rivals.
