Runner by runner
Empire Rising Darragh Keenan · Charlie Clover
Empire Rising arrives on the back of a win last time out and has experience over today's trip, making him a clear danger here; the main risk is that four of his last five starts have yielded only that single victory, so consistency remains the question.
Love Tanya Connor Beasley · Edward Bethell
Consistently placed in recent starts, Love Tanya has finished second, second, and third in her last three outings and has run over today's trip, making her the one to keep on side. She carries 134 lb from stall one and, although yet to score, her rating of 84 marks her as the class act here.
The Monkey King Rhys Clutterbuck · Ralph Beckett
Returned to winning ways last time out, though he was sixth three starts back and only third two starts back suggests some inconsistency; has run over today's trip and comes here fit enough on 30 days' rest, but his official rating of 72 leaves little room for error from stall 7.
Coco Nova Harry Davies · Hugo Palmer
Winless in his last two starts, Coco Nova ranks seventh of nine on our figures and looks hard to fancy at the weights, carrying 131 lb from stall six; a third last time out and experience over today's trip offer slim encouragement.
Akaraka Pierre-Louis Jamin · Michael Bell
Winless in his last three starts and beaten some way on each occasion, Akaraka at least has experience over today's trip and arrives freshened after 40 days off, with our rating suggesting he holds more ability than his official mark of 70 implies — the worry is his recent form offers little encouragement.
Or Another Jason Hart · Katie Scott
Yet to score in his last five starts, Or Another arrives here on a quick nine-day turnaround with a third two runs back offering some encouragement, though a seventh three starts back and 130 lb to carry are the challenges he must overcome.
Prince Kameo Kevin Stott · Sir Mark Prescott Bt
Prince Kameo won last time out and returns on a quick nine-day turnaround with a trainer striking at 35%, but ranked eighth of nine on our figures and carrying 130 lb, he looks up against it despite having run over today's trip before.
Sou'wester David Allan · Tim Easterby
Sou'wester has run over today's trip and going and our rating puts him as a leading threat in this field, yet he arrives 86 days since his last start and has been winless in his last three runs, so the key question is whether he returns to form sharply enough here.
Northern Viola James Sullivan · John & Sean Quinn
Winless in her last three starts and ranked bottom of this field on our figures, Northern Viola also returns from a 64-day absence, making her hard to fancy; she has run over today's trip before and carries 116 lb from stall eight.
