Betweenthesticks has been knocking on the door in recent starts — third last time out and a runner-up two starts back, and he has experience of both today's trip and going. Fresh off a 29-day break at a manageable 138 lb, he looks primed for another bold showing.

Winless in his last five starts, Le Beau Garcon nevertheless holds the highest rating in this field at 74, has experience over today's trip and going, and returns fresh just eight days after his latest outing — the risk is that recent form, including a ninth last time out, makes confidence hard to hold.

Third on three of his last five starts, Spirit Of Applause brings solid recent consistency to the table, has run over today's trip and going, and arrives fresh on just 12 days' rest carrying 137 lb from stall 4. The main concern is a trainer firing at just 4% in the last fortnight.

Winless in his last six starts, with an eighth and ninth among recent finishes, Sam's Xpress faces a stiff ask ranked eighth of ten on our figures, though he has run over today's trip and going before and returns on a sharp 11-day turnaround from stall one.

Third last time out and a winner three starts back, Great arrives on a quick turnaround just four days after his latest run, has experience over today's trip and going, and our rating of 73 suggests he holds strong claims — the chief concern is that fifth two starts back hints at inconsistency.
