Signs on his last couple of runs that this mark may be within him but he needs a stronger finishing effort if he's to get off the mark here.
Won well when well backed last time and he's won off a higher mark than this so he could prove tough to pass if he can dominate from the front once again.
Potential from this kind of mark but record stands at zero from seven in this sphere so far with only one placed effort. Still in with a chance when falling two out last time but that looked like a heavy fall and he needs to prove he's none the worse for that.
Has either failed to complete or finished tailed off in five starts for this yard. Career was equally as disappointing on the Flat so it seems unlikely he'll get off the mark here.
Won off a mark higher than this at Huntingdon nearly two years ago and proved it was no fluke by performing with credit for the rest of that season. Returned from over a year off with two placed efforts recently and obvious claims if building on those efforts.
Just one win from 34 starts but more consistent than that record suggests and likely to get his head back in front at some stage so can't be entirely dismissed from a basement mark.
Still a maiden after 25 starts and just two placed efforts to his name. They came over a little further than this test and hard to fancy after being pulled up last time.

FINAL COUNTDOWN seems to be warming to this sphere and he may be able to take advantage of what looks a lenient mark. Moon Over Rio was in the process of running a nice race when coming down late and he should prove competitive if he's no worse for that fall. Galactic Power has proven he can get competitive off this kind of mark and shouldn't be ruled out.
