Altimara has run over today's trip and going, and a third five starts back offers a rare flicker of hope, but just one unplaced effort in her last five runs and a trainer without a winner in 22 recent attempts make confidence hard to summon for this winless mare.

Lough Leane showed his best when winning three starts back, and he returns with distance and going experience to draw on at 138 lb from stall 18; the six-week absence is the chief concern.

Chester Nimitz has run over today's trip and going before and, ranked top of the field on our rating, he looks a strong threat; the concern is an unplaced effort last time out.

Rappell arrives on the back of back-to-back placed efforts — a winner last time out and a second before that — giving him a clear upswing in form, though his record in his last six starts otherwise reads patchy, and 136 lb from stall 13 may not help his cause.

Recent form has been poor — unplaced in two of her last four starts and seventh last time out — though a winner five starts back shows ability; has run over today's trip and going, but 135 lb and a midfield ranking leave her needing a significant bounce.
