Winless in his last five, Zuzukel was sixth last time out and a fifth two starts back, and he returns after 177 days off, which makes him hard to fancy. He has run on today's going and our figures still have him ranked bottom of the field.

Grann's Boy arrives in decent nick, a second last time out and a winner two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Still, our rating ranks him 15th of 16, and 122 lb after a 35-day break makes him hard to fancy.

Ehteyat is yet to win in his last five starts, but a second five starts back and a third four starts back show he can get into the shake-up, and our rating of 82 ranks him third of 16 against an official 75. He has run over today's trip and going, but he's been unplaced last time out, so the main risk is that form having tailed off.

Lauderdale King (SR:79, 4/1) is the highest-rated horse in this field by a clear margin and arrives in career-best form with a 5-1-1 sequence (Form:034511), winning his last two outings. At 9-7 he carries a manageable weight and, while both DistFit and GoingFit are unproven (?), his recent winning momentum and superior SR of 79 over a field where the next-best SRs (Rakki, Justenzia, Unfold) are 71-73 represent a meaningful ability edge. Trainer A. Slattery runs at 11% and the market drift is only a marginal 5%, suggesting no strong stable concerns. The MarkMv:+6 is modest and well within the range a horse in this sort of form can absorb.
Each-way alternative: Grann's Boy.
Main danger: Grann's Boy — Grann's Boy (SR:70, 13/2) has a striking MarkMv:-65 suggesting a dramatically dropped handicap mark that could make him very well-treated, and his form includes a recent win (Form:70/1-2) for a yard running at 10% — if that mark drop translates to class relief on this trip, he is the most dangerous alternative.
