Shaool has back-to-back wins in her recent form and she has run over today's trip and going before, with our rating putting her at the head of this field — but three consecutive poor runs since those victories make it hard to know which version turns up today.

Ran a fine second last time out and returns after just over a month looking primed for this trip and going, This Songisforyou carries 140 lb yet remains winless in recent starts — though that placed effort hints he's close to landing one.

Dawn Rising has experience over today's trip and going, and that second in his last five starts — five runs back — gives him a foundation to build on; our ratings rank him second of 18 in the field, yet winless in recent starts and a current run of poor finishes make him a significant ask.

Ranked 15 of 18 on our figures, Chica Guerrera faces a stiff ask, though she does arrive off a win last time out and has run over today's trip and going before; 41 days off the track and 133 lb on her back make her hard to fancy at these weights.

Ranked 14 of 18 on our figures and carrying 130 lb, Fixation is hard to fancy despite winning last time out; the trainer's current 4% strike rate — one win from 24 in the last 14 days — adds little encouragement, though he has going experience in his favour.

Kingstonian showed smart form when second and third in consecutive starts, but a ninth-place finish last time out raises questions, and 68 days off the track adds an element of doubt; has run over today's trip and going, though his 129 lb burden is no help.

A winner three starts back but sixth last time out, Mo Ghille Mar has distance and going experience in her favour and 29 days off could have her fresh; however, her trainer is badly out of form at 1/21 recently, and a mark of 88 makes life tough off 128 lb.

Tribal Star is winless in his last six starts but has placed second most recently and third four starts back, showing he's capable of hitting the frame; he has experience over today's trip and conditions, yet consistency remains the concern from a 128 lb burden.

Winless in her last five starts, Narlita did show a flash of form with a third three starts back, yet a sixth two starts back and a fourth last time out — 41 days ago — suggest she remains frustratingly inconsistent; she has run over today's trip and going, but her rating edge may not be enough to bridge the gap.

Thread Of Gold (SR:108, 7/2) is the standout on ability in this field — an SR of 108 is meaningfully clear of the next-best cluster around 91-95, and carrying just 9-0 makes that advantage even more potent in an 18-runner handicap. The W P Mullins yard runs at 20% strike rate from 1,229 runners, making them the dominant training force in the race, and W J Lee's 14% career strike rate is the strongest jockey booking in the field. GoingFit:+ confirms the horse handles today's good ground, and the 3-1 recent form (third then a win) suggests peak condition heading into this festival target. The 9% drift from opening price is the one concern, but a slight market softening at a busy festival meeting is not unusual and the underlying signals — SR, trainer, jockey, going — are too strong to walk away from.
Each-way alternative: Fixation.
Main danger: The Real Screamer — The Real Screamer (SR:92, 12/1) has steamed in 28% in the market, carries a favourable 9-5, posts GoingFit:+ for today's conditions, and arrives on a 1-1-3 recent sequence that shows a horse in career-best form — the market move is a genuine signal.
