SP 11/2 5/1
Silawi won four and five starts back, adding a solid second two starts back before a below-par sixth last time out, and he arrives with trip and going experience — form that makes him a leading threat. The obvious risk is his 154-day absence since that latest run.

Arabian Light shows solid recent form, a winner four starts back, and runner-up three back, plus he brings trip and going experience and a yard in good form. The blot is an unplaced effort last time out after a 32-day break — the main threat to note.

Midak's recent form reads modestly — fourth last time out, ninth two starts back — and he remains without a win in his last five starts. A 41-day layoff is a further concern, though finishing fourth twice in that spell shows he retains some ability.
AI verdict

SR 74 suggests ability but 25/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

SP 18/13 4/5
Persica heads the field on our figures with a second last time out, and a second three starts back, showing real consistency. He has raced over today's trip and going before and returns quickly, just 15 days on; he remains without a win in his last five starts but is rarely far away.
AI verdict

SR 99 suggests ability but evn reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Al Zanati won three starts back and again five back, sandwiching two runner-up efforts in between — form that marks him out as a leading threat. He has trip and going experience and joins a yard in good form, though his last-time sixth is the blot to note.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 8-13 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Oceans Four is hard to fancy on our figures at the foot of this field, having managed only fourth last time out, and seventh two starts back. There is ability there though — a win three starts back, and another five back — plus experience over today's trip and going, so a bold showing can't be ruled out entirely.
AI verdict

SR 115 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Al Zanati
Confidence: Medium

Al Zanati (SR 111, 5/2) is the strongest case in this thin Listed field. As Charlie Appleby's yard #1 — confirmed by William Buick's booking (20% strike rate, 328 runners) over stablemate Arabian Light's Kieran Shoemark — the market has moved emphatically in his favour, shortening 41% since opening. His form string 121-26 shows a progressive 3yo with back-to-back wins before stepping into deeper company; the class level is unchanged (ClassMv:=) and the 8-13 weight assignment gives him a 9lb advantage over Arabian Light. Distance and going are unknowns (both DistFit:? and GoingFit:?) but at 3yo in a five-runner Listed race, unexposed potential over 1m2f is a genuine asset rather than a liability. Each-way alternative: Oceans Four. Main danger: Oceans Four — Oceans Four (SR 115, 11/2) is the highest-rated runner in the field and, despite drifting 36% and the addition of a hood (HG:p), Tom Marquand's booking and a form line of 131-74 showing prior Listed-level wins means an on-song performance at this weight (8-13) could overhaul Al Zanati if the new headgear sparks a bounce-back.
