Verdict — our pick: S T Hamo
S T Hamo is our pick, and he rates just a pound behind the top-rated Thrill A Minute on our figures, so there is little between them. We prefer him for the more solid book of form and a progressive profile, which should count over this 16f on good ground. Thrill A Minute is the chief danger, narrowly ahead on rating, while Gaelic Seer and Some See Stars, both on 96, sit a few pounds back and could still make the frame. S T Hamo gets the vote in a tight contest.

1. Hi Handsome(0)Form: F/7-
J: Miss Georgie Benson(7) · T: Thomas Cleary · 6yo · 12st 0lb · trainer 0% (14d)
By Elusive Pimpernel out of Miranda's Girl (Titus Livius) · Owner: Ms Hazel Browne
Unexposed and yet to win in two recent outings, Hi Handsome was seventh last time out and fell two starts back, and he returns after 376 days off, so he's open to improvement while carrying 168 lb.
2. S T Hamo(0)Form: 0-6435
J: Miss A B O'Connor · T: A. McCann · 5yo · 12st 0lb · trainer 11% (14d)
By Valirann out of Julimark (Accordion) · Owner: Kenneth James Farmer
Fit after 22 days off, S T Hamo has run over today's trip and on this going, and his third two starts back is the best of a consistent recent run. Yet to win in his last five, he still gets our vote on overall profile, with a rating of 102 backing it up despite 168 lb.
3. Some See Stars(0)Form: 8267-P
J: Miss H Ross(7) · T: A L T Moore · 6yo · 12st 0lb · yard form 35%
By Intello out of Boost (Pivotal) · Owner: Mrs A L T Moore
Some See Stars has run over today's trip and showed his best when second four starts back, while our rating of 96 ranks him fourth of ten, making him a live threat at 168 lb. The main risk is fitness, as he was pulled up last time and returns after 151 days off.
4. Thrill A Minute(0)Form: 4
J: Ms E C Costello(7) · T: Jack Doyle · 5yo · 12st 0lb · trainer 0% (14d)
By Berkshire out of Mrs Thriller (Kapgarde) · Owner: M O Cullinane
Fit after just 12 days, Thrill A Minute was fourth last time out and has run over today's trip and going before, so he looks a leading threat on our figures (rated 103, top of ten). The risk is the 168 lb burden, and he remains yet to win in his recent outing.
5. Modcon(0)Debut
J: Miss P Elvin(7) · T: P J Rothwell · 4yo · 11st 13lb · trainer 0% (14d)
By Berkshire out of Gerilee (Jeremy) · Owner: Alberta Capital Ltd
Modcon is unexposed with no recorded form to go on, so he's open to improvement on debut, though he carries 167 lb and his yard is out of form at 0/32 over the last 14 days.
6. Eleen Alana(0)Form: 307
J: Ms N M Bradley(7) · T: Eoin Griffin · 5yo · 11st 7lb · trainer 0% (14d)
By Gregorian out of Dubai Pearl (Refuse To Bend) · Owner: Mourneview Stables Syndicate
Eleen Alana is hard to fancy after a seventh last time out and an unplaced run before that, leaving her winless in her last three starts, though a third three starts back shows some ability. She has run over today's trip and going, but carrying 161 lb is a big ask, and our rating of 85 ranks her sixth of ten.
7. Miss Kobe(0)Debut
J: Ms L A Byrne(7) · T: John McConnell · 5yo · 11st 7lb · trainer 3% (14d)
By Maxios out of Tap The Beat (Oscar) · Owner: David Lestrange
Miss Kobe is unraced with no form to assess, so she is wholly unexposed and open to improvement, though she carries 161 lb and her yard is quiet, with one success from 31 in the last fortnight.
8. Streamhill(0)Form: 5-5507
J: Ms G M Dorgan(7) · T: Padraig Butler · 7yo · 11st 7lb · trainer 33% (14d)
By Kingston Hill out of Coolfree (Westerner) · Owner: D Dorgan
Streamhill is winless in her last five, finishing seventh last time out and with a trio of fifth-placed efforts in that spell, though she is fit after 15 days off and has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 161 lb is a burden, but our rating of 94 puts her fifth of ten.
9. Gaelic Seer(0)Form: 3
J: Anna McGuinness(7) · T: John E & Thomas Kiely · 4yo · 11st 6lb · trainer 0% (14d)
By Masar out of Bean Feasa (Dubawi) · Owner: Austin Curran
Gaelic Seer arrives fresh from a third last time out 29 days ago, and she has run over today's trip and going before, so conditions hold no mystery. Our rating of 96 ranks her third of ten, but 160 lb is a hefty burden and the main risk.
10. Gratitudeforgrace(0)Form: 076
J: Ms M A McCarthy · T: Gordon Elliott · 4yo · 11st 6lb · trainer 13% (14d)
By Goliath Du Berlais out of Daresca Des Obeaux (Maresca Sorrento) · Owner: Gordon Elliott
Gratitudeforgrace is hard to fancy, winless in her last three with a sixth last time out and a seventh two starts back, and she carries a hefty 160 lb. On the plus side, she is fit after 12 days off and has run over today's trip and going.
