Ranked 10 of 13 on our figures and carrying 141 lb, Return To Unit faces a stiff ask on ratings, and 61 days off adds a fitness query; he has run over today's trip, though, and that seventh-then-first pattern in recent starts shows he can bounce back sharply.

Point of Contact won two starts back and has run over today's trip, with our rating of 91 underlining his claims from stall five off a 38-day break — the main concern is that eighth last time out.

Altareq ran unplaced last time out, though he was a winner two starts back and third three starts back; he has run over today's trip and returns after 31 days, but a trainer operating at 4% recently and a speed figure of 81 are both against him.

SR 82 suggests ability but 15/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Winless in his last five starts but showed his best recent form last time out with a runner-up finish, and he has experience of today's distance and going; 59 days off is the query, and 138 lb from stall 13 adds to the burden.

SR 71 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 20/1.
Consistent without quite breaking through, Spoken Truth shaped well for second three starts back and third four starts back but is winless in his last six and has drifted to fourth and sixth more recently; experience over today's trip and going, plus a handy weight of 138 lb from stall three, keeps him in the mix.

Cadarn shaped well when third last time out, and a winner two starts back, giving him back-to-back runs of encouragement heading into this. He has experience over today's trip and going, and 24 days between runs leaves him fresh. Carrying 138 lb from stall two, he's our pick on profile.

Won last time out and has run over today's distance and going, but 45 days off the track raises a fitness query, and carrying 137 lb from stall 6 is no gimme for a horse rated 84 officially — he'll need to reproduce that latest effort.

Winless in his last five starts, Galyx does at least return with experience over today's trip and conditions, and that third three starts back shows he can get competitive; however, a 60-day absence and carrying 135 lb from stall one make this a tough ask.

Dwindling Funds won last time out and posted placed efforts two and three starts back, but he ranks last on our figures in a field of thirteen, and his trainer is in poor recent form at 4% — hard to fancy despite the experience over today's trip and going.

Winless in his last five starts despite a string of runner-up finishes, Swift Salian has been frustratingly consistent without converting, and ranked 12 of 13 on our figures he faces a stiff task here; he has run over today's trip and going, though 61 days off and 130 lb to carry add further questions.

Third three starts back and a solid level of form throughout, Strength Of Spirit arrives on a sharp 12-day turnaround with experience of today's trip and going; winless in his last six starts is the main concern, though our rating of 92 suggests he's better than his mark.

Brigid's Well shapes as a leading threat on our rating of 92, which heads this 13-runner field, and she has run over today's distance and going before; yet to win in her last five starts, and a 37-day absence is the chief concern.

Spoken Truth (SR:88, 7/2) is the standout selection combining the strongest multi-signal alignment in the field. Critically, it is the only runner with confirmed DistFit:+ AND GoingFit:+ for today's 1m1f35y trip on Good to Soft — a rare double confirmation that directly addresses the two biggest variables in this race. Dropping a class (ClassMv:↓1) eases the task, and the market has firmed 26% from the opening price, reflecting strong informed support. Daniel Tudhope booking (16% career strike rate, 828 runners) is a high-quality pilot, and a recent run just 17 days ago keeps the horse race-sharp on a form line showing consistent placing (223264). At 7/2 the price still represents value given the unique course-and-going suitability advantage over the rest of the field.
Each-way alternative: Point Of Contact.
Main danger: Strength Of Spirit — Strength Of Spirit (SR:89, Mkt:in43%) carries a joint-top SR in the field, a 43% market steam suggests strong stable confidence, and at 3 years old dropping a class (ClassMv:↓1) the upside is real — the DistFit:- is the key concern but K.R. Burke's 19% yard strike rate means dismissing this horse entirely would be rash.
