      Predicted 1st

      Euston Hall

      11/1

      Model-topper, hot yard at 25%, market steamer, won last time out, distance suits. The 91-day break has clearly been managed with purpose by Walker's stable.

      Placed — Finished 3rd
    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Go Rimbaud

      9/2

      Gosden at 33% and Buick in the irons is never a combination to dismiss; the drift to 9/2 is concerning but the 22-151 form and a last-time-out win keep him firmly in the frame.

      Missed — Finished 15th

      Predicted 3rd

      Electric Dreams

      15/2

      Murphy at 22% strike rate on a horse with a positive form flag and a last-time-out win — the class rise is a risk but the jockey booking is a signal worth taking each-way at 15/2.

      Missed — Finished 12th

      Predicted 4th

      Law Court

      9/1

      Consistent 3-2212 form string, distance positive, and Richard Hannon's yard at 21% — the drift to 9/1 is puzzling enough to make this the value outsider in the frame.

      So Lovely

      4/5

      Debut second, market halved her price in 14 days, Ryan Moore at 27% strike rate. The form line exists; nobody else's does at a comparable level.

      Predicted 2nd

      Beguiled

      17/2

      Gosden yard at 33% over 14 days with William Buick booked is the strongest trainer-jockey combination in the field among the debutantes — the danger comes from the unknown.

      Elevating

      7/1

      Finished second on debut at 5/2 in a Class 2, now available at 7/1 in the same class — Richard Hannon's yard at 21% over 14 days backs a horse the market has drifted without cause.

      Siena Storm

      11/1

      Ed Walker's yard is running at 25% over 14 days and Siena Storm is available at 11/1 — the trainer form is the only tell here but it is a real one.

      The Bookkeeper

      7/1

      Moore at 27% strike rate, steaming market, 3lb lighter, hold-up style ideally suited to an uncertain pace in an 18-runner field. Hughes targeting this precisely.

      Mia Fantasia

      7/2

      Form reads 1-3 from two runs, Oisin Murphy at 22% strike rate, Hugo Palmer yard at 18% — only a 5lb weight concession to The Bookkeeper keeps her out of slot one.

      Quantum Power

      14/1

      Form string ends 1-1-1, goes on Good to Firm, and Tom Clover's yard is the form yard in this field at 31% over 14 days. A class rise is the only drag on a horse clearly improving.

      Truly Glamorous

      One And Gone

      16/1

      Form ends 1-1 and the class drop gives a platform, but a 13lb weight rise and Ian Williams' 9% yard form dampen conviction beyond each-way framing.

      Diamond Necklace

      8/11

      Botagoz

      See The Fire

      5/1

      Distance fit marked as positive, Balding's yard running at 22%, and the form string 29-116 shows a horse capable of hitting the frame in good company.

      Friendly Soul

      11/4

      Gosden yard in excellent form at 33%, but the Δ+7lb weight rise and a P in recent form make this a likely also-ran in a field of this quality.

      Geryon

      9/2

      Form of -44241 ending in a short-priced favourite run and a weight rise of 6lb is manageable; Colin Keane at 16% keeps the ride credible, and the model's +0.6 form credit is real.

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

      Magnetude

      22/1

      The James Owen yard at 34% over 14 days is the most explosive trainer statistic in the field; 22/1 looks too big for a horse the form shows has placed at Group level before.

      Bay Of Brilliance

      3/1

      Drifting from a much shorter price to 3/1 on a 54-day absence; the form 11-240 is fading, and the market is telling a story worth heeding.

      Ciarrai Abu

      4/1

      Back-to-back placed-or-won efforts (141 in last three), Eustace's yard at 21%, and 4/1 price suggests the market agrees this is the one most likely to run Harmonics close.

      Dial Me In

      7/1

      The market steam is real and O'Brien's yard at 23% backs it up, but the 28/1 last run creates enough doubt to keep him out of the top two at this price.

      Evanesco

      Zarathos

      Rory Rocket

      SP (steamer)

      A 13lb weight drop from a 4/9 winning run, distance and going both ticked +, model-second at 6.59 — the class rise of two is the only brake and the weight swings it back.

      Under The Twilight
