Rocking Ends is winless in his last six starts and was below par when seventh last time, though he'd shown much better before that. Quick to return just 7 days on and proven over today's trip, he heads this contest on our figures as top-rated.
AI verdict

SR 80 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Valley Ofthe Kings was a good second last time out and also placed second five starts back, either side of three below-par efforts. Without a win in that spell, he returns 27 days on with today's trip already navigated, making him a leading threat on our figures.
AI verdict

SR 77 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Grandlad won last time out, his only success in his last five starts, but he's had 82 days off since and returns fresh. Proven over today's trip, the long layoff is the obvious question for this leading contender.

SR 83 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Rogue Bullet won two starts back but has since dipped, finishing fourth last time out after modest form either side of that success. Fit again 20 days on and with today's trip already navigated, he sits respectably on our figures without being fluent on recent evidence.

SR 82 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Diomed Duke is winless in his last five starts and was well held in fifth last time out, though a third three starts back shows more within him. Fit 27 days on and proven over today's trip, our rating of 81 sits well above his official mark of 72.
AI verdict

SR 71 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Tuscan Point was well beaten when unplaced last time out, well below the level of a win and a couple of runner-up efforts earlier in that spell. Race-fit 11 days on and with today's trip in his favour, he's still rated among the least of this field on our figures.
AI verdict

SR 48 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 28/1.

Travel Agent strung together back-to-back wins earlier in his last six starts, but the form has since tailed off to a seventh last time out. Fit 15 days on and with today's trip in his favour, the recent drop-off leaves him the least fancied of this field on our figures.

SR 74 suggests ability but 8/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ecclefechan is winless in his last six starts, with his best a fourth-placed effort four starts back and nothing better last time out. Quick to return just 8 days on and with today's trip in his favour, there's little here to inspire real confidence.
AI verdict

Grandlad
Confidence: Medium

Grandlad (SR:83, 7/2) is the highest-rated runner in the field and arrives off a last-time-out win — a '1' at the right end of his form string — dropping a class (ClassMv:↓1) having won at this level or above. His DistFit:+ confirms proven ability at 5f, which is the single most important trip-specific signal in this field, and a market move of in11% tells us money has arrived since the morning. Carrying 9-11 he has a clear weight edge over top-weight Rocking Ends (10-0, SR:80), giving him approximately 3lb in hand on a lighter-framed rival whose mark is 5lb above his last winning mark. The 82-day break is the main concern but connections' market confidence suggests he returns ready. Each-way alternative: Rogue Bullet. Main danger: Rocking Ends — Rocking Ends (SR:80, 11/4) holds course form (W1P2 at Newmarket July), is dropping a class, and Cieren Fallon's booking gives it a top jockey, though the 7% market drift, DistFit:-, and a mark 5lb above its last win are meaningful counterweights.
