🥇Predicted 1st
Morrophore
7/2Top 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.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
A La Prochaine
9/2Beckett 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.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Without Prejudice
6/1One 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.
-
4Predicted 4th
Rhapsody
6/1Confirmed going fit and Haggas at 20% keep her honest; model ranks her third, and at 6/1 the market respects her without being excessive.

🥇Predicted 1st
Kalpana
6/5Model 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.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Minnie Hauk
3/1Second 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…
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Tattycoram
14/1Back-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.
-
4Predicted 4th
Johanna Walsh
9/2Third 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 the frame 1/4 in frame

🥇Predicted 1st
Centigrade
3/1A 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.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
The Lost King
10/1Oisin 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.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Arctic Dawn
25/1The 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.
-
4Predicted 4th
Mezcala
15/2Positive 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.

🥇Predicted 1st
Sun Goddess
1/1Model-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.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Tokaido
4/1Four consecutive wins including four straight '1's at the right end of the form string; the only horse in the field whose recent form sequence rivals Sun Goddess.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Satellite Of Love
11/2Two 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.
-
4Predicted 4th
Thebesthasyetocome
22/1The 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.

🥇Predicted 1st
Libertango
15/8Top 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
7/1Burke 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.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Moonrise
11/1Form 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.
-
4Predicted 4th
Shimmering Sun
22/1Eustace'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.
-
-
Missed the frame 1/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
Havana Sprite
8/1Three 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.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Ruler's Pride
9/1Today'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.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Henley On Thames
17/2Form 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.
-
4Predicted 4th
Towelontheterrace
33/1The 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.
-
-
Missed the frame 2/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
Poatan
10/1Model-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.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Naana's Shadow
4/1Form 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.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Miss Yechance
8/1Burke'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.
-
4Predicted 4th
Schrodinger's Cat
15/2Form 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.
-
-
Missed the frame 2/4 in frame
-
🥇Predicted 1st
Valedictory
13/2Gosden 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.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Kirchner
9/2Ryan 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.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Small Fry
5/2The 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.
-
4Predicted 4th
Mountain Road
14/1Distance and going both rated positive (D:+, GF:+), consistent recent form including a third last time, and racing fresh off a 10-day turnaround — the 14/1 is generous for what th…

🥇Predicted 1st
Constitution River
13/8Lone 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.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Item
15/2Form 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
11/10Three 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.
-
4Predicted 4th
Hawk Mountain
16/1Ran 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 …

11/2Three-from-three in current form, top of the deterministic model at 7.39, Gosden yard at 25%, steaming market, and a 5lb weight advantage over the joint-market leaders. Every sign…

🥈Predicted 2nd
Christmas Day
5/2Ryan Moore at 27% strike rate on the O'Brien second-string, solid form reading 1-1312, and the trainer firing at 27% over 14 days. Danger throughout but lacks Superior Choice's cu…
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Maltese Cross
2/1Best 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.
-
4Predicted 4th
Pierre Bonnard
3/1Form of 7-2-7-3 shows consistent placed efforts without winning — O'Brien's third string here, and the pattern of getting beaten suggests the same fate at this level.
