      Final Objective

      11/4

      SR 117 leads the field, yard at 20% in 14-day form, James Doyle aboard at 21%, won last time out. Every signal — speed, market move, form — points the same direction.

      Flann Sunna

      3/1

      SR 106, 4-star AI, William Buick at 25% strike rate, and a form string of 115 showing real class — the 43-day layoff is the only genuine caveat against a winning case.

      Placed — Finished 3rd

      Predicted 3rd

      Carry The Flag

      10/3

      Lone front-runner with Ryan Moore aboard gives Carry The Flag pace control; SR 113 and a steaming market move make this a genuine each-way proposition at 10/3.

      Sale Shark

      11/2

      SR 106, Oisin Murphy at 22%, and a solid 15541 form string — distance fit is confirmed and this is a horse capable of picking up the pieces at 11/2.

      Anthropologist

      4/1

      Top of the deterministic model, biggest market move in the race (7/1 to 4/1), and hold-up style ideally positioned for a pace set by two genuine front-runners.

      Predicted 2nd

      Caragio

      9/2

      Highest SR in the field at 80, second in the model, steaming in the market — the main danger, but 89 days off and a trainer on 0-from-7 create a small but real shadow.

      Placed — Finished 3rd
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Celtic Chariot

      17/2

      Only hold-up horse with a confirmed distance fit, form string ends 1-1-6 over recent starts, and light weight of 11-2 an asset in a field of top-weights.

      Missed — Finished 10th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Nyman

      7/1

      Fourth in the model, going fit confirmed positive, and a last-run SP of 100/30F suggests he can perform when the conditions align — 7/1 is fair each-way value.

      Nabati

      11/8

      SR 115, a 35% hot yard, William Buick booked, and the deterministic model's clear top score of 6.75. The form string 121 at this age is a standout credential in this field.

      Predicted 2nd

      Forbidden Fire

      9/2

      SR 89, Oisin Murphy at 22% career strike rate, and a Balding yard running at 19%. A winner on debut who could take second behind the class act.

      Placed — Finished 1st
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Rock Montreal

      7/4

      SR 87, a debut win at 2/5 suggests genuine ability, but the drift to 7/4 raises questions and the step to Listed grade off one run is a big ask.

      Placed — Finished 2nd
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Varzi

      12/1

      Steaming in at 12/1 with an SR of 84 and a Karl Burke yard at 26% — the market is finding him, but SR gap to the favourite is too wide to bridge.

      Inspired

      3/1

      Model-leader at 6.13, Burke's yard at 31%, two wins in last three starts, and a class drop today. The 15lb weight rise is the only drag and it's outweighed by the evidence.

      Predicted 2nd

      Alpha Capture

      6/1

      Scored 5.75 with going-fit positive and Roger Fell at 21% — consistent form peaking at second with more weight relief, but closest in profile to Inspired.

    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Proud Nation

      9/1

      Distance and going both flagged positive, two-class drop is significant, Fahey yard at 15% — the market drift to 9/1 is a concern but the class relief is real.

      Predicted 4th

      Son

      10/1

      Tim Easterby at 17% over 14 days, recent form shows a 3 last time out, and a 3lb weight reduction today gives it a live each-way case in a wide-open bottom half.

      Mr Noble

      Power Fizz

      10/1

      Going fit (GF:+), Haggas yard operating at 19%, and Cieren Fallon at 19% career strike rate — the class drop and recent form make this the most credible danger to Mr Noble.

      Predicted 3rd

      Northern Express

      9/2

      The model's top pick has a legitimate speed case and the market has held at 9/2; the distance flag and trainer cold spell stop it going higher than third for me.

      Woohoo

      9/1

      Six consecutive placed efforts (222222) with distance and going both ticking positive — a relentless placer who sets up as the each-way safety net at 9/1.

      4lb weight drop helps Balding's 4yo and the yard is firing at 20%; the danger is real but drifting SPs (4/6F to 8/1) suggest market confidence has cooled progressively.

      Stoneacre Donny

      12/1

      Shortened from 100/30 to 15/8F in recent starts, distance and going both positive, and Tim Easterby's yard is firing at 17% — a genuine pace-setter with finishing ability.

      Double Parked

      10/1

      A market steamer in a field of drifters, going fit, and dropping in class — Tim Easterby again. The 11lb weight hike is the only argument against.

      Predicted 4th

      Castle Stuart

      5/1

      Third-in-model, the Fahey yard at 15%, and a recent run of 5 from six outings shows consistency — but the distance is a negative and Barry McHugh's 7% strike rate concerns.

      Predicted 3rd

      Pinatique

      9/1

      Sir Mark Prescott's yard at 33% in the last 14 days is a hard stat to ignore; Pinatique gets significant trainer backing into a staying trip at a price.

      High Fibre

      Scenic Route
