Consecutive sevenths in his last two starts make Sisterandbrother hard to fancy at the foot of our rankings, and a speed rating of 61 offers little encouragement; he has run over today's trip and going before, and there is winning form further back in the sequence.
Return With Gold was a winner three starts back and third four starts back, showing a likeable profile over today's trip, and returning fit after 19 days; the concern is his unplaced effort last time out.

SR 38 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 33/1.
Grey Fable has experience of both today's trip and going, and a win four starts back shows he retains ability; at 133 lb, the weight is the single factor connections will be watching closely.

SR 69 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Wardlaw has been a model of consistency, placing in three of his last four starts — second two runs back and third last time out — and he has run over today's trip before; the main risk is that 48 days off the track leaves his fitness under a question mark.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked fifth of six on our figures, That Darn Cantor faces a stiff ask here, despite his third last time out offering a sliver of encouragement; he has run over today's trip and going before, and comes back quickly enough at 12 days.

Consistent and in good heart, Mr Moonshine has finished third last time out and second the time before, and he has experience over today's trip and going — our rating of 77 marks him as the one to beat here, though he remains winless in recent starts.

Mr Moonshine owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (46) and market confidence (91). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.

Even weighting across form, market confidence and race-day volatility.
Mr Moonshine holds the highest SR in the field at 82, carries the lightest weight at 9-4, and is a 3-year-old with a form string of 24-523 that shows consistent competitiveness at this level. Critically, the market has shortened 21% since opening — the strongest inward move in the race — at 13/8, indicating informed money. The weight advantage over Wardlaw (same SR tier, 9-7) is meaningful on good-to-firm ground over 1m4f, and the Fahey yard operates at a solid 9% strike rate with 430 runners behind them. The only caveat is unknown distance and going fit for all runners here, but Mr Moonshine's class edge and market support tip the balance.
Each-way alternative: Wardlaw.
Main danger: Wardlaw — Wardlaw (SR:80, 10/3) is trained by Sir Mark Prescott at a 19% strike rate — the strongest trainer stat in the field — has shortened 13% in the market, and at 3 years old carries natural improvement potential over this class despite the 48-day absence.
