Won twice in his last five starts, but those victories were followed by a 5th, a pulled-up effort and a modest 4th last time out. Fit for a quick reappearance 10 days on and proven over today's trip. Ranked 6th of 18 on our figures, he needs to rediscover that earlier form.

Runner-up last time out, a winner the start before, a leading contender at 4th of 18 on our figures. Fit again 16 days on and proven over today's trip. The main worry is the weaker efforts before that recent upturn.

Yet to score in his last four starts but finished runner-up last time out, and a strong 3rd of 18 on our figures marks him a leading danger. Fit after a 31-day break and proven over today's trip. The concern is the moderate form further back in that sequence.

Nakassama (SR:118, 9/4) is the standout on ability, carrying the highest Saturday Rating in the field by a clear margin over Cozone and Morell River (both SR:109). The market has reinforced this with a 16% shortening — the most significant steam in the race — and at 9/4 this is genuine confidence money rather than drift. The form string 692-12 shows a win last time out and a placed effort before that, indicating the horse is in peak form, and a DistFit:+ confirms proven ability at this 2m5f+ trip. The tongue-tie is retained (HG:t, not first-time), suggesting connections are comfortable with the setup, and jockey Mr O McGill (15% strike rate from 74 career rides) is an efficient claimer booking for the yard's #1 in a dual-runner stable. The MarkMv:+12 is the main concern — running off a mark 12lb above the last win is a real ask — but the SR advantage and market confidence outweigh that in a competitive 18-runner handicap hurdle at this level.
Each-way alternative: Adaliz.
Main danger: Morell River — Morell River (SR:109, 9/2) shows a recent 518-12 form string with a win two back, carries only 11-5 (6lb lighter than Nakassama), and sits second in the betting — the weight concession from the top-rated runner could prove decisive in a 2m5f+ grind on good ground.
