11-12

16/1 8/1 14/1

Laafi is a leading danger on his profile, having run second two starts back and with experience over today's trip and going, while our rating of 150 ranks him second of 17. The main risk is a 71-day break after an eighth last time out, and he's yet to win in his last five starts under 166 lb.

AI verdict

SR 135 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Kateira has been below her best in her last three runs, but a third and a fourth earlier in that run show her ability. She has run over today's trip and going, and our top-rated runner at 157 is the one to beat, though 212 days off is a reservation.

SR 108 suggests ability but 50/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Knickerbockerglory has been in the frame twice in his last four, finishing second two starts back and again four starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. The single concern is a 149-day absence, with 160 lb on his back, though our rating of 150 ranks him third of 17.

SR 113 suggests ability but 25/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Hard to fancy at 13th of 17 on our figures, with a 177-day absence and 159 lb to carry, yet he won last time out and has three wins in his last five starts, with a pulled up two starts back the blemish. He has run over today's trip and going before.

Serious Challenge arrives in решительно good heart, a third last time out, a second two starts back and a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. However, 187 days off and 158 lb on his back temper enthusiasm, with our rating of 140 placing him sixth of 17.

Captain Hugo bids to build on a second last time out, with a win two starts back and another four starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. A 174-day absence and 157 lb on his back temper the case, and our rating ranks him seventh of 17.

Gibbs Island has been beaten in his last five, with a ninth last time out and a seventh two starts back, and he returns after 153 days off, so fitness is a question. He has run over this trip and going before, and our rating of 141 ranks him fifth of 17, but 154 lb is a big weight to carry.

Sony Bill has run over today's trip and on this going, finishing third twice in his last five outings, and our 142 puts him fourth of 17 off a mark of 132. The risk is a fifth last time out after being pulled up before that, plus 154 lb on his back.

Sageborough won two starts back and has run over today's trip and going, but he was pulled up last time out and returns after 71 days off. Carrying 152 lb off an official mark of 130, he looks a midfield sort, with our rating of 133 ranking him eighth of 17.

Unplaced last time out and a fifth two starts back, though he was second twice four and five starts back, and he has run over today's trip, so there's ability here; yet to win in his last five, he carries 150 lb off 128 and looks a midfield type.

Listentoyourheart returns after 167 days off, a ninth last time out, but she has a third two starts back and a winner four starts back, and has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 149 lb off 127, she looks to have plenty to do at a mid-ranked 10 of 17 on our rating.

Pioneer Pete arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out and two starts back, with a second three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Even so, 147 lb off 125 is a big ask after 34 days off, and our figures rank him 15th of 17.
