| 1 | EmpirestateofmindEmpirestateofmind arrives in cracking nick, third last time out, a second two starts back, and a winner three starts back, with two wins in his last six starts and a fresh 19-day gap. He has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 86 makes him the one to beat, with 135 lb the only small concern. | 012123 | 8 | 9-09 | Jason Hart | John & Sean Quinn | 75 | 7/2 |
| 2 | AblonAblon arrives in fine heart having won last time out, three weeks ago, and she also scored five starts back, so she's a strong threat with her rating of 78 a shade above her official 75. The main risk is the 135 lb she must carry from stall nine. | 215631 | 4 | 9-09 | Paul Mulrennan | Richard Hannon | 75 | 13/2 |
| 3 | IzzariTwice a winner in his last six starts, including two starts back, Izzari comes here only 13 days after an eighth last time out, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 135 lb from draw 8, he looks a midfield sort on our rating of 76, fifth of ten. | 281418 | 5 | 9-09 | Cara Tuke(7) | Iain Jardine | 75 | 12/1 |
| 4 | TolstoyTolstoy arrives fresh from an 11-day break after back-to-back thirds, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 85 ranks him second of ten. The main risk is a 133 lb burden, with just one win in his last six starts. | 001733 | 7 | 9-07 | Dale Swift | Brian Ellison | 73 | 5/1 |
| 5 | Good Morning AlexGood Morning Alex won two starts back, but he was unplaced last time out and has been beaten in four of his other five recent runs, which makes him hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, and 132 lb from stall one is no help, with our rating putting him eighth of ten. | 500510 | 5 | 9-06 | Oisin Orr | David & Nicola Barron | 72 | 15/2 |
| 6 | BarleyBarley has a win four starts back and a third three runs ago, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before; our rating of 80 ranks him third of ten. The risk is a quick turnaround, just five days after an unplaced run last time out, with a sixth two starts back. | 401360 | 7 | 9-04 | David Allan | Tim Easterby | 70 | 15/2 |
| 7 | Cavallo PazzoWinner last time out and two starts back, Cavallo Pazzo is in cracking form on the face of it, but he's back in just five days and was well beaten in the three runs before that. Our figures rank him ninth of ten, though he has run over today's trip and going. | 76-811 | 7 | 9-03 | Shane Gray | Daragh Bourke | 65 | 5/2 |
| 8 | Quiet ResolveQuiet Resolve is winless in his last six, with a pair of ninth-place finishes and an unplaced run last time, though he did finish second five starts back and has run over today's trip and going. Back quickly after six days, he runs off 126 lb from stall seven, and our rating of 74 sits above his official 66. | 620990 | 5 | 9-00 | Tom Eaves | Alan Brown | 66 | 19 |
| 9 | MotawaaredMotawaared has been a model of consistency, third last time out and a winner two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. At 124 lb from stall four, though, our rating of 73 only ranks him seventh of ten, so he looks more a place contender than a leading threat. | 225213 | 4 | 8-12 | Lauren Young(5) | Jim Goldie | 64 | 4 |
| 10 | Escape ActEscape Act is hard to fancy, having finished seventh last time out and yet to win in his last five starts, with a third two starts back the only real bright spot. He has run over today's trip and going, but our rating ranks him tenth of ten. | 0003-7 | 5 | 8-04 | Andrew Mullen | Jean McGregor | 56 | 16 |
