      Zavateri

      Boiling Point

      9/2

      Second in the model at 5.69, 5lb weight relief, Burke's yard red-hot at 21% — honest form in Group company and genuine conditions to run his race.

      Predicted 3rd

      Seagulls Eleven

      4/1

      The drift is a worry but a form line of −21130 at this level shows enough quality to fill a place slot, especially if the pace plays to a prominent racer.

      Ebt's Guard

      12/1

      Steaming into the field from 8/1 at its last SP, the market move mirrors Zavateri's pattern — the going and distance negatives limit the ceiling but the place market has been wron…

      Green Sky

      9/1

      Distance fit, going fit, 13lb weight relief, three wins in last four, hot yard at 19%, and a market steam move all align — this is the clearest multi-signal case in the field.

      Placed — Finished 3rd
    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      High Degree

      13/8

      Going suits and form is consistent, but two defeats at short prices in similar contests and another class rise make him shorter than the evidence warrants.

      Nailed it · Finished 2nd
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Tony Montana

      9/2

      The model's top pick on market move and speed; Philippart De Foy's yard at 20% is the credible hook, and a 9/2 steam deserves respect for each-way purposes.

      Missed — Finished 9th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Too Soon

      7/2

      A 23lb weight rise is brutal, going is a negative (GF:-), but the pace scenario could suit a hold-up style if the race develops into a sprint from the home turn.

      Predicted 1st

      Addison Grey

      12/1

      Model's top-ranked runner at 6.57, with distance, going, and class all aligned. Clive Cox at 22% and a strong market move make this the most corroborated selection in the field.

    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Forty Years On

      2/1

      Form string 1112-1 is elite and the market has backed it hard, but a cold yard at 4%, 79 days off, and a going question mark prevent slot 1.

      Placed — Finished 1st
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Ghost Mode

      9/2

      Andrew Balding's yard at 18% and a form line that closed with a win at 9/2 makes Ghost Mode the live each-way runner, with distance a positive fit.

      Missed — Finished 5th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Aalto

      10/1

      Steaming in the market and Cieren Fallon at 19% career strike rate give Aalto a tell, though distance and going are marked uncertain and trainer form is modest at 11%.

      Roku Nana

      15/2

      Strongest market move in the field combined with the hottest trainer yard at 27% — in a race this light on form, those two signals dwarf anything else on the card.

      Placed — Finished 3rd
    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Lily Pink

      2/1

      A second on debut at a higher starting price than today's odds suggests a horse the market has caught up with; Charlie Johnston's yard at 14% adds minor support.

      Missed — Finished 5th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Thespian Queen

      7/1

      Ran second on debut, steps up in class from an 8-13 weight, and offers 7/1 each-way value in a field where the ceiling of most rivals is unknown.

      Missed — Finished 6th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Rhythm Of My Heart

      7/2

      Ran second last time at 11/4 favourite and is steaming at 7/2, but the Menuisier yard is 0-from-7 in the last fortnight — that cold spell is a hard counter-signal at this price.

      Placed — Finished 2nd

      Raammee

      11/4

      Model-topper at 7.12, steaming market, Varian yard at 35% — three independent signals pointing the same direction. The 10lb rise is absorbed by class superiority.

    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Erzindjan

      15/2

      Model second at 6.14 with the highest-rated jockey in the race at 27%; a recent win on the form string and Ryan Moore will position him to pounce in the final furlong.

      Missed — Finished 12th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Al Aali

      10/1

      Form reads 875511 — improving fast, Buick up, and a going flag of GF:+. Model fourth at 5.52 and the 10/1 looks generous for a horse this in-form.

      Missed — Finished 8th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Diego El Queso

      9/2

      D:+ and GF:+ are the best dual fit flags in the field; form 3-2126 shows consistent placing. Lyons runners travel well and 9/2 reflects genuine competitiveness.

      Sale Shark

      6/1

      Oisin Murphy at 21% takes the ride at 6/1 — the highest-strike-rate jockey pairing in the field. A genuine pace from the front-runners sets up a Murphy-delivered finish perfectly.

      Predicted 2nd

      Dubai Champion

      5/1

      Ryan Moore at 27% on a horse showing 4312 progressive form; prominent position suits the pace shape and he has the class trajectory to run out the main danger.

      Missed — Finished 11th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Adonius

      2/1

      The market has backed him hard and the form is consistent, but Menzies at 0-from-11 in 14 days is too big a red flag to ignore — place money only.

      Placed — Finished 2nd
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Hickory Lad

      11/1

      Second in the deterministic model on speed and form signals; the 11/1 reflects a yard running at 12% in recent days and a form line with an 8 at the end that needs explaining away.

      Placed — Finished 3rd

      Air Force One

      11/2

      Form reads 105331 — three consecutive placed efforts, consistent at this class, Geoff Oldroyd's yard running at 25% from just four runners.

      Missed — Finished 8th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Evening Saigon

      12/1

      Model scores form and speed positively; James Doyle at 18% strike rate adds jockey confidence, and the 0-1271 string shows a winner capable of running into the places.

      Missed — Finished 5th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Far Above Dream

      11/1

      James Owen's yard firing at 17%, form includes a recent win, and the +0.3 going signal from the model suggests conditions will suit at a fair price.

      Placed — Finished 2nd

      Love Me Tender

      9/2

      Model's top score of 7.90 underpinned by Mullins yard at 31%, Buick at 20%, and a form string of 114. The market move confirms what the data already shows.

      Missed — Finished 10th

      Predicted 2nd

      Hopewell Rock

      8/1

      A confirmed steamer today, Boughey's yard is firing at 25%, and a last-run win off near-identical weight makes this the clearest danger to the favourite.

      Nailed it · Finished 2nd
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Emit

      11/2

      Ryan Moore at 27% career strike rate aboard a confirmed market mover — model scores Emit third at 6.32 and the Moore booking alone justifies each-way interest at 11/2.

      Missed — Finished 12th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Square Necker

      14/1

      Form reading 31-211 is the most consistent sequence of any runner below 9-0 in the weights, and Kevin Philippart De Foy's four-year-old arrives on a light 8-13.

      Notable Speech

      Lake Forest

      11/2

      Ranked second by the model at 6.00, Haggas at 21% and Fallon at 20%, with a win last time and a 2lb weight drop keeping him very much in the mix behind the market's banker.

      Predicted 3rd

      Satono Reve

      11/1

      As lone confirmed front-runner it controls tempo entirely; distance fit is positive (+) and a form line of 1223 shows it runs its race consistently without the need for cover.

      Missed — Finished 9th

      Predicted 4th

      Flora Of Bermuda

      11/1

      Last two starts produced a 1011 form string at 3/1 and 5/2F, Oisin Murphy at 21% strike rate — a 4lb weight drop adds appeal at a double-figure price in an open field.

      Mythical Bay

      7/1

      Progressive form string of -12311, Oisin Murphy at 21%, and Balding's 17% yard makes her the likeliest chaser — but she concedes 13lb to Limestone at today's weights.

    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Into The Light

      15/2

      Appleby's 35% strike rate is the hottest yard figure on the sheet and Buick at 20% gives Into The Light a powerful team; the drift from favouritism is the only hesitation.

      My Ballyquinn

      33/1

      A 16lb weight drop and a notable market move to 33/1 are real signals even at O'Meara's modest 12% strike rate — this is the value outsider with a genuine tell.
