#9 Elegant Life comes off a seventh where he began only fairly, never travelled well throughout, but still hit the line strongly late. Fownes has given him a 49-day freshen, his lead-in trial was sound and, from barrier 3, his map is good enough for him to bounce back to winning form. #8 Dan Attack has been in exceptional form this season, landing two wins from seven starts. He won his trial heat in style for his return, while barrier 1 gives him the perfect map. #1 Crossborderdude has barrier 10 to overcome but brings the right form after back-to-back thirds since switching to this track and distance, while Purton sticking with him is a good sign. #5 World Hero has two wins and a third from his last three starts and had to overcome barrier 12 in his past two runs.
