Saint Arion has shown consistent placed-level ability in recent starts, his two fourths suggesting he is knocking on the door, and our rating has him as the second-ranked runner in this field; the main concern is 74 days off the track without a win in his last five starts.

Dual winner in his last four starts, with a first and second also on the card before a disqualification clouds his most recent outing, Malinas Glory has solid recent form, has run over today's trip, and his rating of 104 gives him a clear edge over his rivals despite a 136-day absence.

Bravethewaves has managed just one win in his last five starts, with unplaced and mid-division finishes dominating his recent record, and our rating ranks him sixth of seven here, making him hard to fancy; he does at least return on a reasonable break of 24 days and has run over today's trip.

Culligran shaped with clear promise when a close second three starts back and returns here fit on 18 days' rest, having run over today's trip and carrying a workable 155 lb with a rating of 87 to underline her claims — the worry is she has been winless in her last five starts.

Rated higher than his official mark suggests, Est Illic showed a useful level of form when third three starts back and a winner five starts back, hinting at genuine ability; the concern is a break of 88 days without a run.

Two pulls-up in his last two starts are the obvious concern for King of The Story, though he did finish second five starts back and has run over today's trip; carrying 145 lb on a mark of 74, he faces a stiff task to end a winless recent run.

Winless in his last six starts and ranked bottom of this field on our figures, Ballinoulart makes the shortlist hard to extend his way, though he has run over today's trip before and a third last time out — eighteen days ago — at least confirms he retains some form.

Ki Woo advertises strong claims on the back of a win two starts back and a close second last time out, and he has experience over today's trip; the main concern is a chunk of 86 days off the track, so fitness under 168 lb must be taken on trust.

Dunkerque has been in scintillating form, winning four times in his last six starts including a victory two starts back, and he returns fit on 15 days' rest with going experience in his favour; the weight burden of 167 lb is the one factor that could blunt his challenge.

Snipe shaped well when second two starts back, and with a trainer firing at 32% in the past fortnight and experience over today's trip, he is the one to beat off a mark of 126 despite a hefty 161 lb to carry.

Fever Dream franked his form with a win two starts back and a runner-up finish three starts back, and he has experience over today's trip and conditions; the main concern is a 151-day absence that leaves his sharpness open to question.

Guts And Glory won last time out and has experience of today's trip and conditions, making her the one to beat under 168 lb; our rating of 103 heads the field and her recent consistency underlines her claims.

Consistent at the top level, Jammy Jay has finished second twice in her last five starts and has run over today's trip, making her a genuine threat off an official mark of 98 — though winless in recent starts, that elusive breakthrough remains the main concern.

Miracles Do Happen landed a win four starts back and has experience of today's going, while 164 lb is a stern weight to overcome after 58 days off the track.

Winless in her last five starts, Blackwater Lilly nonetheless arrives in fine fettle just 17 days after a third-placed effort, has experience over today's trip, and her rating of 96 marks her as a genuine contender — the concern is whether she can finally convert her consistency into a winning run.

Twice a winner in her last five starts, with victories three and four starts back, Lady Bee Great arrives fit on 17 days' rest and has run over today's trip before; her 159 lb burden is a concern, and back-to-back ninth and eighth finishes in recent starts give pause.

Winless in her last five starts and ranked sixth of eight on our figures, Ballylicky Bay faces a stiff ask here, though she has placed in two of her most recent outings and has run over today's trip, while 83 days off the track leaves fitness a question mark.

Unexposed and open to improvement, Cappa Lass has shown little in her last four starts — pulling up most recently — and remains yet to win, though 148 lb is a stiff burden to overcome on her return eighteen days later.

Winless in her last five starts and ranked seventh of eight on our figures, Barafundle Bay faces a stiff ask here, and 83 days off the track adds a fitness query; the one mild positive is that she has finished fourth on two occasions in recent starts, suggesting occasional ability to hit form.

Winless in his last four starts and rated the lowest of the five runners on our figures, Lacrima does at least have a win two starts back to his name, though 74 days off the track and a hefty 166 lb to carry make him hard to fancy here.

Back In The Bay shaped with plenty of promise when second two starts back, and at a rating of 110 she holds strong claims here despite being yet to score in recent starts; the pulled-up effort last time is the one thing punters must forgive.

Prince de Juilley rates as the most dangerous rival in the field on our figures, and has run over today's trip with a pair of seconds in recent starts suggesting he is capable of threatening — the risk is that he has been winless in his last five outings and returns after 60 days off carrying a hefty 164 lb.

Belles Benefit shaped well when third two starts back before landing a win three starts back, and with today's trip familiar and a 22-day break suggesting she arrives fresh, she merits plenty of respect under 163 lb despite a below-par fifth last time.

Pipers Cross has shown consistent placed efforts in her recent starts, finishing third twice in her last five, and she has experience of today's trip and conditions — but 214 days off the track is the significant doubt, and she remains yet to score.
