      Predicted 1st

      Morrophore

      7/2

      Top model score, confirmed going fit, Moore booked, Gosden yard at 20%, and last run was a win at 6/5F — the broadest alignment of positive signals in this field.

      Missed — Finished 11th
    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      A La Prochaine

      9/2

      Beckett at 29% and 9lb weight allowance as a three-year-old are real edges; speed is her primary model driver and she is the second-ranked horse on the deterministic score.

      Missed — Finished 13th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Without Prejudice

      6/1

      One run, one win, Buick on for Gosden — the combination of handler, jockey, and unbeaten tag at 6/1 makes this the each-way play in an open field.

      Predicted 4th

      Rhapsody

      6/1

      Confirmed going fit and Haggas at 20% keep her honest; model ranks her third, and at 6/1 the market respects her without being excessive.

      Placed — Finished 2nd

      Kalpana

      6/5

      Model leader at 6.64 with the strongest speed and form scores, confirmed distance and going fit, and two wins from last three completed runs. The obvious call is the right call.

      Minnie Hauk

      3/1

      Second in the model at 6.04, positive going and speed signals, Ryan Moore at 27% strike rate for Aidan O'Brien's 24% yard — the most dangerous combination in the race to chase Kal…

      Tattycoram

      14/1

      Back-to-back wins, Beckett's yard at 29%, and 14/1 on the board. The uncertain going fitness is the caveat, but the place terms at this price are compelling each-way material.

      Missed — Finished 5th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Johanna Walsh

      9/2

      Third in the model at 5.78, strong recent form string (3-3121) and likely to race prominently — a solid place candidate at 9/2 who could steal second if the race sets up kindly.

      Missed — Finished 6th

      Predicted 1st

      Centigrade

      3/1

      A 15lb weight reduction from a winning run, Beckett at 29% yard form, and Rossa Ryan booked — three concrete signals pointing at the same horse in the same race.

      Missed — Finished 6th
    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      The Lost King

      10/1

      Oisin Murphy at 21% career strike rate, positive distance fit, and a form string showing a recent 3/1 joint-favourite run — the main market danger to Centigrade.

      Placed — Finished 1st
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Arctic Dawn

      25/1

      The Kubler yard running at 22%, a 4lb weight drop, and a form line showing a recent win at 11/2 after weeks of the market underselling this horse badly.

      Missed — Finished 8th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Mezcala

      15/2

      Positive going fit, positive distance fit, and William Buick at 20% strike rate — the model scores Mezcala fourth and the going plus draw signals support a placing claim at 15/2.

      Sun Goddess

      1/1

      Model-top at 7.41, strongest speed and form drivers in the field, O'Brien yard at 24% and Moore aboard — this is as clean a favourite's case as a 22-runner field can produce.

      Tokaido

      Predicted 3rd

      Satellite Of Love

      11/2

      Two from two for Clive Cox's yard, which is in 27% form; Rossa Ryan booked at 16% career strike; unbeaten record means unknown ceiling — live each-way at 11/2.

      Thebesthasyetocome

      22/1

      The steamer of the field drifting into market attention at 22/1; Keatley yard at 20% strike rate and a two-from-two record make this the stand-out value dissent at a price.

      Libertango

      15/8

      Top of the deterministic model at 6.54, form reads 112 at this distance, hot Boughey yard at 21%, Loughnane 19% strike rate, distance-fit confirmed D:+. Every pillar aligns.

      Predicted 2nd

      Wild Blossom

      7/1

      Burke at 27% over the fortnight, speed section second only to Libertango in the model at 6.22, and her 101 form includes a win at 5/4F — she goes close at a bigger price.

      Missed — Finished 6th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Moonrise

      11/1

      Form of 121 with D:+ at York distance, Murphy's 21% career rate adds class; model has her third at 6.14 and the each-way terms at 11/1 make her the each-way play.

    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Shimmering Sun

      22/1

      Eustace's yard is blazing at 29%, Marquand books a 172 form horse with a closing second last time at 2/1 — model fourth at 5.87, dismissed by the market, worth the dissent.

      Predicted 1st

      Havana Sprite

      8/1

      Three wins from four, Tate yard at 31%, Hector Crouch at 18% — the form string is the strongest in the race and the drift to 8/1 is the invitation to take the price.

      Missed — Finished 17th
    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Ruler's Pride

      9/1

      Today's steamer move is real, Burke's yard is at 24% and the class drop is a positive, but the 107 form needs explaining before it earns slot one.

      Missed — Finished 8th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Henley On Thames

      17/2

      Form of 6221 showing consistent improvement, a 12lb weight drop, and a distance-positive profile make this 17/2 shot the each-way play at the prices.

      Placed — Finished 1st

      Predicted 4th

      Towelontheterrace

      33/1

      The lone front-runner with Candlish's yard at a striking 40% over 14 days — if the pace gets soft and no one chases, this 33/1 shot pinches it on the front end.

      Predicted 1st

      Poatan

      10/1

      Model-top at 6.88, dropping a class, a 66-day freshen-up, and the clearest market move in the field. David Egan knows this horse well enough from prior rides and the trip fits.

      Missed — Finished 7th
    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Naana's Shadow

      4/1

      Form string 131191 is the race's most consistent; Murphy's 21% SR seals the booking quality. The class rise and 9-9 topweight are the only things keeping it off the top.

      Placed — Finished 3rd
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Miss Yechance

      8/1

      Burke's 24% yard form is the best training operation in the field; 8/1 is fair price on a horse whose last SP of 17/2 matches today's price almost exactly.

      Placed — Finished 1st
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Schrodinger's Cat

      15/2

      Form 831265 shows steady progression; distance and going both suit. 15/2 in a race this competitive and a 5 on the progressive curve makes it the value outsider.

      Valedictory

      13/2

      Gosden yard at 25% in the past fortnight, going-fit, two wins from last three, and 9lb lighter than Small Fry with Buick booked — every signal outside the market points here.

    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Kirchner

      9/2

      Ryan Moore on a four-year-old whose price has compressed from 50/1 to 11/4 in three runs — a James Owen yard at 21% provides the training backdrop to back up the form trajectory.

    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Small Fry

      5/2

      The market is rarely entirely wrong and Small Fry has the pace to control this, but the +7lb hike on unsuitable going is a credible reason to land him no better than third.

      Constitution River

      13/8

      Lone prominent runner, 11-111 form, strongest market move in the field, and Ryan Moore at 27% — every signal converges. The pace map hands him the race on a plate.

      Item

      15/2

      Form reads 11-191 with a recent third SP of 3/1; positive going fit and Andrew Balding's yard active. Best placed of the hold-up runners to close if the pace is honest enough.

      Predicted 3rd

      Ombudsman

      11/10

      Three straight wins and the Gosden-Buick axis make him impossible to ignore for a place, but the morning drift from odds-on keeps him out of the frame for the win.

      Hawk Mountain

      16/1

      Ran 11-123 in his last three, including a fifth as 5/4F — form that shows he can be competitive at this level without quite delivering, O'Brien yard in 27% form is the live angle …

      Maltese Cross

      2/1

      Best form in the book reading 1-1121 and Haggas knows this trip, but 73 days off at the same weight as fresher rivals is a credible excuse if he finds the line just too far.

      Pierre Bonnard
