Queensferry Stakes (Listed Race)

Song Of The Clyde won three starts back and returns fit on 15 days' rest, with experience of both today's trip and going working in his favour at 130 lb from stall 8. The risk is that back-to-back seventh-place finishes since that win must be overcome.

Winless in his last five starts, Ardisia nonetheless showed a glimpse of ability when third two runs back, and he has experience of both today's trip and going; 43 days off and 127 lb from stall four are the key questions as he seeks a return to that form.

Calico Blue arrives on the back of a win last time out, with two victories in his last five starts and a trainer firing at 36% in the past fortnight — he's a serious threat here. The main risk is whether his speed rating of 92 matches the level required.

Jazl won last time out and has run over today's trip, but he ranks bottom of the field on our figures and that unplaced effort two starts back sits awkwardly amid the wins; hard to fancy at these weights against stronger-rated rivals.

Lifeplan arrives on the back of back-to-back wins but has been off the track for 345 days, and our rating of 100 leaves him well below the top end of this field. The form he carries is encouraging, but fitness after such a lengthy absence is the obvious concern.
