Winless in his last five starts but placed three times, with a second two starts back and a third three starts back, Yes Day arrives 34 days fresh, has run over today's trip, and his rating of 117 puts him narrowly ahead at the top of this small field.

Ballynaheer's two wins in his last five starts, including a victory three starts back, underline his winning credentials, and he has run over today's trip before — but 115 days off the track is the key question mark he must answer on reappearance.

Balkardy shaped with real promise when second last time out, and his experience over today's trip plus a rating of 112 make him a genuine threat to the top-rated runner; the concern is a patchy recent record that includes two pull-ups, and he arrives 71 days fresh.

Flashy Boy arrives here in fine nick, a winner two starts back and runner-up last time out just four days ago, and he has run over today's trip before; the chief concern is that his 142 lb burden makes life tough against this field.
