Moving Force ran a solid second last time out and has experience of today's trip and conditions, making him a genuine threat from stall eight on 137 lb; the worry is that he remains winless in his last five starts and has yet to convert that consistency into a win.

Star Chorus has run over today's trip and going before, yet winless in his last six starts with a string of mid-field and unplaced efforts is the concern; fresh off a 24-day break and carrying 136 lb from stall 12, he needs to find improvement to get competitive here.

Diligent Resdev has run over today's trip and going, carries a manageable 135 lb from stall one, and our rating of 86 ranks him second in this field — a genuine threat despite being winless in his last five starts, with a 75-day absence the key concern.

Kirkdale has winning form in his recent starts, scoring twice in his last five, but a 145-day absence and our figures ranking him ninth of twelve make him hard to fancy; he has run over today's trip and going, and draw four is noted.

Papa Cocktail arrives in reasonable nick after 19 days off and has experience of today's distance and going, but he is winless in his last six starts, with a third three starts back the brightest recent note, and he carries 133 lb from stall five.
