9-12
16/1 12/1 14/1
Winless in recent starts but shaped with plenty of promise before flopping over a sharp trip last time; back up in distance today suits ideally, acts on this going, and first-time headgear could sharpen focus — though the trainer's current form gives pause.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-12 with inconsistent form (322360) and a modest Saturday Rating of 82 limits Beylerbeyi's prospects significantly.

Winless in its last four starts and found little when comfortably held last time, Bunting's best form has come over staying trips on the Flat, though it looks stable second string here and inconsistency over hurdles remains the concern.
AI verdict

Bunting's modest Saturday Rating of 78, top weight of 9-10, and uninspiring form figures of 3/453- justify only 2 stars.

33/1 22/1 33/1
Consistent in recent starts with a string of fourths before a below-par latest effort, Barnso is winless in its last five but the step up to 14f-plus looks key — stamina questions loom on reappearance after 248 days off, however.
AI verdict

Barnso's poor form (44460-) and top weight of 9-8 make this 77-rated runner an unappealing outsider.

Unlucky not to have won this 12 months ago when never getting a clear run and eased down beaten four lengths off the same mark, Reaching High lines up off an unchanged rating with course form and a top jockey aboard — the layoff is the one question to answer.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-6 with a modest Saturday Rating of 79 and poor recent form (10/29-) makes Reaching High a weak contender.

Winless in its last five starts and below par in recent outings, Lavender Hill Mob faces a stiff mark at 94, though the first-time visor and effectiveness across any going are mild positives worth monitoring after a 60-day break.
AI verdict

Carrying a hefty 9-6 with a weak form line of 003-86 and a modest Saturday Rating of 79 makes Lavender Hill Mob a poor betting proposition.

Scored off a 7lb lower mark three starts back but was outstayed stepped up in trip last time; drops a significant 30lb here on a sound surface that suits, and proven course-and-distance form gives it every chance despite the inconsistent recent profile.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-6 with a Saturday Rating of 83 and not market-favoured, Mordor's form reads inconsistently despite a recent win.

Ran to form when a close fourth at Chester last time off a 1lb lower mark, and this unexposed stayer's fine recent profile — including a runner-up effort — plus a significant jockey booking make her a leading danger, though she remains winless in her last five starts.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-6 with a Saturday Rating of 85 and uninspiring form of 000-24 makes Galileo Dame a weak contender.

Winless in recent starts and pulled up at Cork latest when the ground proved too testing, Comfort Zone is only 1lb higher than when placing in this race last year, giving it a clear angle — though below-par form this term is the obvious concern.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-6 with poor form 003-0P and a low Saturday Rating of 74 makes Comfort Zone unappealing.

First-time cheekpieces and a 38-day break since a run that needed, Siempre Arturo has the versatility across trips and surfaces to be competitive, but patchy recent form and the step up in trip still required leave this one looking a place player at best.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-6 with a modest Saturday Rating of 77 and patchy form reading 1637-5 undermines confidence.

Blinkers go on for the first time and there's a distance uptick that could suit this lightly-raced stayer, but inconsistent recent form and a lowly ranking on our figures make it hard to fancy with confidence.
AI verdict

Defiantly's Saturday Rating of 77, poor recent form of 147-04, and high weight of 9-5 combine to make this a weak each-way prospect.

Bahadur lands in the crosshairs here after a willing 1¼-length Goodwood handicap success last time out, and this hugely progressive stayer looks the type with more to give over this trip — the main risk being a 4lb higher mark than when scoring.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-5 with a Saturday Rating of 86 and inconsistent form (11-651), Bahadur lacks the market confidence to justify optimism.

I notice there's a conflict between the expert points (which mention a second place at Listowel latest) and the recent finishes provided (which show 9th most recently). I'll work from the provided facts and weave in the relevant expert points that don't contradict them. **Small Fry** has won twice in its last five starts and acts on today's going, while a significant jockey booking underlines stable confidence; the concern is whether a Flat mark of 92 (we rate it

Returned to winning form at The Curragh last time off a mark 8lb lower than today's, but ranked well down the field on our figures and not a reliable type to build on that — first-time headgear is worth noting, though the weight rise makes this a tough ask.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 75 and poor recent form (00-071) at 9-4 weight make Westminster Moon an unconvincing each-way proposition.

Winless in its last five starts but consistently placed, Ismahane arrives fit from hurdling, acts on soft and carries a fair mark — first-time cheekpieces and a trainer in form add interest, though 130 lb is a stiff ask.

Carrying top weight of 9-4 with a modest Saturday Rating of 78 and uninspiring form of 42322-, Ismahane lacks the edge needed here.

Glenroyal has won three in its last five starts but is ranked 17 of 20 on our figures, and a well-beaten effort over 2½m latest raises stamina doubts at today's trip; first-time headgear and a 16lb higher mark than that Down Royal handicap win make it hard to fancy.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-4 with a modest Saturday Rating of 85 and unfancied by the market limits Glenroyal's winning prospects significantly.

Cheekpieces on for the first time may sharpen this Fred Winter and Irish Cesarewitch winner, who remains relatively unexposed over staying trips, but last time out saw a well-beaten seventh at Chester and our figures have it well down the rankings here.

Rated 88 and ranked 19 of 20, All In You has plenty to prove under 129 lb, but the first-time hood and a short break are worth noting — genuine course form over hurdles at least offers a sliver of hope for each-way purposes. Wait — I need to re-check the expert points. They mention "unlucky when fourth... Scottish Champion Hurdle" but the recent finishes show 7th, 1st, 1st. Let me reconcile
AI verdict

Stale form showing just two runs with a long absence, combined with a modest Saturday Rating of 80 and top weight of 9-3, limits confidence.

Inconsistent French handicapper who plugged on for third on her penultimate outing but never threatened when beaten nine lengths at Longchamp last time; the step back to two miles and any cut in the ground help her cause, though her patchy record makes her hard to trust.

Carrying 9-3 with a Saturday Rating of 81 and inconsistent form reading 0-1370, Annabel's Ghost offers little confidence at current odds.

Tim Toe arrives on the back of two wins in his last three starts, most recently edging a Listowel Conditions Race at the minimum of his stamina range — that trip drop a key form pointer. The mark looks lenient and a yard that won this last year gives confidence, though whether stamina holds at this distance is the crux.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-3 with a modest Saturday Rating of 86 limits Tim Toe's prospects despite solid recent form of 131.

Kizlyar bounced back to win at Killarney last time out but sits at the foot of our rankings and looks to need plenty here; the ex-French gelding is lightly raced over marathon trips and a potentially lenient mark offers the sole grounds for optimism, with first-time headgear adding a wildcard.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-3 with a modest Saturday Rating of 81 and inconsistent form of 321-01 limits Kizlyar's prospects here.

Bahadur
Confidence: Medium

Bahadur (SR 86, 9-5) posts the joint-highest SR in the field alongside Tim Toe and carries a workable weight for a horse of his ability. His form string 11-651 shows two wins earlier in the sequence and a recent return to winning at the right end — the '1' at the right of his form line confirms he arrived here in winning form. S Woods is a trainer who targets these big-field staying handicaps with purpose, and a 4-year-old at this trip on Good to Firm has natural scope for further improvement. At 9-5 he has a 2lb pull over Glenroyal (SR 85, 9-4) and a clear SR edge over the majority of the field. Each-way alternative: Glenroyal. Main danger: Tim Toe — Tim Toe (SR 86, 9-3) shares the joint-top SR in the field, carries 2lb less than Bahadur, and his compressed form string 131 — three runs, two wins and a third — suggests a horse arriving on a sharply progressive curve trained by the in-form Henry De Bromhead.
