Class drop helps after an Open ninth, and the prior Class 4 fourth reads well enough. The 1400m record keeps him to place claims.

Two recent Class 4 fourths give him some base, but the 1400m record and one-from-ten profile leave him with work to do.

Recent figures are plain, but he has a 1400m win on the page and a small claim. More a place hope than a winning push.

Beaten a head here as a backed favourite and proven at the track and trip. With the 3kg claim, he looks a major player.

Freshened since a heavy defeat and has not offered enough this campaign. A sharp form turnaround is required.

Veteran in good order after a close third and a sound fifth. Track-and-distance placings support another strong run.

Unplaced in three starts and now tries 1400m for the first time. Needs a sizeable step forward.

Still unplaced, but the 4kg claim gives him a small lever. Has to improve to turn that into a placing.

Last start was another heavy defeat and he remains unplaced from five. Stable and jockey help, but form is the issue.

Last-start Perak winner, proven at the distance and now gets weight relief third-up. Brings the strongest winning case.

Beaten over 15 lengths at his past two and still unplaced. Weight relief is not enough to offset the form.

Freshened since a poor last-start run, but the prior neck second and solid 1400m record give him place appeal.

Back to a trip where his overall record is strong and barrier one helps, but recent defeats make him risky.

Recent win here and a solid fourth since, with weight relief and strong track-and-trip figures. Right in the race.
