Two wins in this sequence (two and four starts back), either side of a runner-up effort show solid form, even though his last start (4th) was a slight dip. A figure of 86 matches his official mark exactly, but a 212-day absence is the concern - with prior form at the longer trip, he's a leading danger if fully wound up.

Without a win in this sequence but rarely far away, with a runner-up effort four starts back and finishes of 3rd or 4th either side, backed by a big figure of 88 above his 86 official mark. Fit again 48 days on with prior form at today's longer trip, that consistency makes him a leading danger on figures alone.

His last two starts (7th, 9th) read poorly, though a 4th and 3rd further back and a big figure of 89 - well above his 83 official mark - suggest he's better than that recent slide indicates. Fit again 45 days on with prior form at the longer trip, he's second on our figures despite the modest recent form.

Top of our figures on 90, just a pound ahead of the next best and well above her 82 official mark, with her trainer also in good form on a strong recent strike rate. She is without a win in this sequence and a below-par last start (9th) is a mild concern, but with prior trip form, she's narrowly the best of these on figures.

Back-to-back wins three and four starts back underline solid form at this trip, and he's followed up with a 3rd and 2nd since, with a figure of 84 sitting above his 81 official mark. Fit again 56 days on, he's respectable without being amongst the most fancied, ranking only sixth in this deep field.
