      Crest Of Fire

      7/2

      Market steamer with Channon's yard at 23% strike rate; 3lb weight drop, form includes a win and a 11/4F run — the pattern here is a horse the market has learned to trust.

      Blue Courvoisier

      4/1

      Top of the deterministic model, strong going fit, class drop — the Clive Cox booking and the money pouring in at 4/1 cannot be ignored as a danger to the winner.

      Predicted 3rd

      Point Of Contact

      17/2

      Murphy's 21% strike rate, twice a 2/1F in recent memory, and a class drop from Balding's 20% yard — the each-way play at 17/2 with a jockey who wins.

      Predicted 4th

      Ammes

      12/1

      James Owen at 32% is the hottest yard in the field; going rated neutral and class drop all point to a horse capable of grabbing a place at 12/1.

      Leadlight

      9/2

      Top deterministic score of 5.35, O'Brien yard at 20% strike rate, 7lb lighter than debut — this is a horse set up to improve sharply second time out at a fair 9/2.

      Predicted 2nd

      Market Leader

      13/2

      Burke running at 26% in 14 days, James Doyle booked at 18% strike rate; a debut third stepping up in class backed by one of the hottest yards in the race.

      Missed — Finished 5th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Speakers Corner

      2/1

      Ryan Moore doesn't take meaningless rides, but the drift from opening price on a debut fourth is a caution — each-way value exists at 2/1 if the market steadies.

      Missed — Finished 13th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Regency Royal

      7/1

      Ran second on debut at 3/1 for Balding who is operating at 20% over 14 days — quietly consistent profile that merits a place slot at 7/1.

      Ironwill

      13/2

      13lb weight drop, going-positive, and raceday money arriving — his SP trajectory from 11/1 to 2/1F last time shows the market woke up late; it's awake early today.

      Placed — Finished 2nd
    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Marengo Storm

      7/1

      18lb off his back and a progressive form string ending in a win makes him the chief danger, but the going question mark on GF separates him narrowly from Ironwill.

      Missed — Finished 5th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Wild Desert

      8/1

      Appleby yard at 37% and a class drop provides the platform; William Buick at 20% strike rate keeps this live, though top weight of 9-9 is a real ask at this trip.

      Missed — Finished 10th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      We're Goosers

      3/1

      Murphy booking on the 3/1 market leader demands respect, but a 2lb rise, a going question mark, and a Hugo Palmer yard at 14% create enough doubt to push him out.

      Sondad

      9/2

      Joint-sharpest steamer in the field, confirmed going and distance fit, a win and a place in his last two, and 2lb lighter than last time. The signals align cleanly.

      Missed — Finished 7th

      Predicted 2nd

      Far Above Dream

      6/1

      Model's top pick at 6.98, steaming from 11/2 to 6/1, distance fit confirmed, and James Owen's yard running at a searing 32% over 14 days. The one most likely to beat Sondad.

    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Tuco Salamanca

      12/1

      Ollie Sangster's yard at 38% is the standout trainer figure; form of 59-161 shows a horse clicking into form at the right moment with confirmed distance fit.

    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Completely Random

      14/1

      Ryan Moore's 27% career strike rate is the best jockey figure in the field; a steamer at 14/1 from 18/1, and Harry Charlton's yard running at a solid 20% over 14 days.

      Amelia Earhart

      11/2

      Model's top score, steaming market move, lightest weight in the race at 8-13 (-3lb on last run), and Ryan Moore's 27% career strike rate make her the clear winner call.

    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Danielle

      7/2

      Back-to-back wins including a 1/2F victory makes her form undeniable; Buick at 20% career strike rate and going suitability keep her firmly in the mix for second.

      Missed — Finished 6th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Consent

      11/2

      Prescott's yard is scorching at 35% in 14 days and Consent's form string features multiple wins; 301 days off is the only concern, but Prescott plots these returns meticulously.

      Predicted 4th

      Waardah

      9/4

      Market favourite at 9/4 but Owen Burrows is 0-from-8 in the 14-day window — a cold trainer stat that the model penalises and I will not ignore.

      In My Teens

      7/2

      Form string 122-91 reads close enough to be dangerous and Oisin Murphy's 21% career strike rate demands respect, even with Cromwell's yard running cold.

      Al Aasy

      5/2

      Nine-year-old veteran with a going-fit positive and Marquand booked; form figures 159-21 show consistency, though that 4/9 last run leaves questions about ceiling.

      Valedictory

      5/2

      Lone front-runner, won last time out, Buick booked, lightest serious weight at 9-2, Gosden yard at 17% — the race shape is built for him to control and never be caught.

      Aeronautic

      5/1

      The 12/1-to-5/1 steam is a signal too loud to ignore; O'Brien's yard in form at 20% and a 5lb pull on the topweight gives him every chance of finishing second if he can close the …

      Hopewell Rock

      Sing Us A Song

      11/2

      James Doyle at 18%, Ralph Beckett's yard present, form reads 71-325 with consistency — at 11/2 this is the each-way outsider with a tell if the closers get into it.

      Room Fourteen

      7/4

      Form reads four finishes of 1, 1, 2, 3 in reverse; 5lb weight relief, positive going and distance fit, Ryan Moore booked, and steaming market — every credible signal points here.

      Predicted 2nd

      Silver Lake

      5/4

      Won last time out at 5/6, steaming again to 5/4, and Haggas yard running at 19% over 14 days; the main danger if Room Fourteen doesn't quite see out the trip.

    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Lady Dora Mae

      11/1

      The steamer from 16/1 to 11/1 is a real signal and the distance fits, but a sixth last time and 14lb more weight than her last run is a steep ask.

      Predicted 4th

      Zgharta

      5/1

      Oisin Murphy and a Balding yard firing at 20% over 14 days give this drifter residual interest; recent form of 40-604 limits confidence to a place at best.

      Devil's Peak

      Astracornus

      The weight drop of 15lb and market steam are hard to ignore, even with the going-minus flag and a cold trainer — place money is reasonable at 9/2.

      Waterford Castle

      Revels

      Persian Spring
