Mereside Princess (SR 79, 7/2, 9-2) carries the joint-highest SR alongside Thornaby Annie but does so off the lightest weight in the competitive group, giving her a 7lb advantage over Thornaby Annie (9-9) and a meaningful edge over Empirical (SR 74, 9-6). Her form string 643112 is the standout in the field — two consecutive wins most recently, showing she is in peak form and trending the right way, whereas rivals are posting more erratic sequences. David & Nicola Barron are a competent yard for this type of handicap, and at 7/2 the market is respecting her claims without making her unbackable. The 1m75y trip on Good to Firm at Nottingham suits a horse in current winning form, and the weight-SR combination here is simply the most favourable in the field. Each-way alternative: Thornaby Annie. Main danger: Empirical — Empirical (SR 74, 5/4) is the market's strong favourite and Ed Walker's yard commands respect — if the handicapper has underestimated a horse showing quiet improvement behind the scenes, the compressed odds suggest someone knows something, and it carries only 9-6.
