Zeezee looks perfectly placed to finally get her head in front. She ran a strong second at Perth last time, pulling clear of the rest and proving she stays this 2m5f trip well. Off the same mark of 74, she remains lightly raced for her age and continues to progress with experience. The good ground suits her smooth travelling style, and Sean Quinlan keeps the ride, which adds confidence. In a modest Class 5 field lacking depth, her consistent form and solid finishing kick make her the one to beat today.

Grange Walk looks an interesting contender back over hurdles. He’s a proven stayer with solid recent form figures (-46223) showing consistency and competitiveness at similar trips. His current mark of 120 leaves room for impact, especially with just 10-13 on his back. The yielding-to-soft ground plays to his strengths ??" he handles ease underfoot well and has the stamina to grind it out over three miles. Trainer John Patrick Ryan keeps him fit and reliable, and if he settles early, he could outstay flashier rivals late on.

Intent Approach has a strong chance to build on his reappearance run at Listowel, which should have sharpened him considerably after a long layoff. The 6-year-old looks well treated off OR 116 and gets a manageable 10-9 weight, ideal for these conditions. He’s from the C. Byrnes yard, often dangerous when their runners find rhythm second time out. Yielding-to-soft ground won’t bother him, and the extended trip fits his profile. If he travels smoothly early, his stamina and freshness could make him a major player today.

Beat The Edge has been a model of consistency this season, rarely running a bad race. His solid recent figures (32-323) show reliability and fitness at this level. He stays the 2m5f trip strongly and acts well on good ground, while his OR 85 still leaves a bit of headroom to exploit. Brian Hughes knows him inside out and should be able to deliver him late with perfect timing. In a field full of patchy types, his blend of experience, rhythm, and proven staying power makes him a genuine threat.

Collingham could surprise a few at generous odds. He’s back down to an attractive OR 107, well below previous marks when rated up to 118, making him potentially well in if rediscovering form. His last runs suggest he’s been finding rhythm again, and this longer 2m5½f trip on good ground should suit better than recent shorter contests. He’s proven competitive at this class level and now carries a fair 11-5. If he travels smoothly under amateur handling, he could easily bounce back to winning ways against a manageable field.

Melton Mossy looks the clear form horse and a justified favourite. Last year’s winner of this very race, he made an eye-catching seasonal return when finishing second after a long break, confirming he’s right back in form. Off a workable mark of 104 and with proven ability over course and distance (CD), he thrives on good ground and stays the trip strongly. Trained by Evan Williams and partnered again by Miss Eleanor Williams, he ticks every box for a repeat success if maintaining that recent sharpness and rhythm throughout.
