      Predicted 1st

      Hell Of A Spin

      11/1

      Model-top at 6.59, the only steamer in a field of drifters, genuine distance fitness, and a pace shape that rewards a closer off a contested early gallop set by Arapaho Gold.

      Placed — Finished 3rd
    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Arapaho Gold

      11/4

      Highest raw form score in the model at +1.0, unbeaten in three, and likely to control the framing gallop — but the drift and distance query cap him at second best today.

      Placed — Finished 1st
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Marco Polo

      11/4

      One run, unknown ceiling, but Ryan Moore at 27% and an O'Brien yard firing at 23% strike rate are two signals too strong to dismiss in a wide-open juvenile Group 2.

      Missed — Finished 8th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Adaay of Scarlett

      4/1

      Oisin Murphy at 21%, genuine distance fitness, and a consistent form string of 112222 — the model has him second, and he will be finishing hard late if the pace collapses.

      Missed — Finished 5th

      Al Nayyir

      15/2

      Heads the deterministic model on combined form, going, and a +0.8 market-move boost that is the single largest positive driver in the field; Buick's 20% strike rate seals the book…

      Illinois

      13/2

      Back-to-back wins in the form string (-36155), Ryan Moore at 27% career strike rate, and a pace shape — two front-runners burning out — that suits a hold-up finisher perfectly.

      Predicted 3rd

      Mount Atlas

      6/1

      Won last time out (4-2231), arrives in the best recent winning form of any named front-runner, and Balding's 17% yard form gives quiet support at 6/1.

      Predicted 4th

      Amiloc

      7/2

      Beckett's yard at 21% is the strongest trainer signal in the field, and at 7/2 there is each-way place value even if the recent U in the form string is a concern.

      Bearish

      11/1

      Only steamer in the race, Oisin Murphy at 21% strike rate aboard, 3lb weight drop to 8-11, won last time out — every angle converges.

      Predicted 2nd

      Outback Heat

      12/1

      Model's top score of 6.05, Eustace yard at 25% strike rate, consistent 1312 form — the 64-day absence and 9lb rise are the only credible negatives.

      Placed — Finished 4th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Blue Courvoisier

      8/1

      Clive Cox at 26% over 14 days is the yard signal of the race; Rossa Ryan has pace to exploit off 9-2 if the front-runners set it up.

      Placed — Finished 1st
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Welbury

      20/1

      Won last time, Bethell yard scorching at 32%, and a significant weight drop of 8lb — the two-class rise is the risk, but the stable confidence is real.

      Albaydaa

      Starlight Lass

      Three wins from three, sole front-runner with the race to herself if she wants it — but stepping two classes in a 21-runner handicap at 11/4 is a significant ask for a lightly-rac…

      Predicted 3rd

      Zooella

      14/1

      Back-to-back wins, 25lb weight relief vs last run, Ralph Beckett's yard at 29% — the only confirmed hold-up runner, ideally placed if Starlight Lass burns herself off in front.

      Missed — Finished 18th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Tryst

      8/1

      Won last time at 5/1, 11lb lighter than that run, George Boughey's yard is hot at 21% — drifting to 8/1 is a slight concern but the form trajectory of 427611 is undeniably upward.

      Perfect Nation

      6/1

      Three wins from three front-end positions, three times a market favourite delivered, and a steaming 6/1 for Boughey's 21% yard with Loughnane in the plate.

      Missed — Finished 5th
    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Rising Tiger

      9/2

      Three consecutive seconds at shortening prices with Oisin Murphy booked — the market move from 14/1 to 9/2 is the loudest signal in the race after Perfect Nation.

      Placed — Finished 4th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Weleyff

      5/1

      Bethell's yard at 38% in 14 days is extraordinary; Weleyff's rapid form progression of 311 gives him every right to run into a place from the front.

      Missed — Finished 16th

      Mirzimaan

      10/1

      Ran 7/4F last time for Boughey, William Buick takes the ride at 20% career strike rate — a step up in class but the talent is clearly there at 10/1.

      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.

    4. 4
      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.

      Kalpana

      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.

    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.

      Centigrade

      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.

      Satellite Of Love

      11/2

      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.
