Prefer The Sister won last time out and has two wins from her last six starts, form underlined by a quick nine-day turnaround and prior experience over today's trip. She's only third on our rating here, though, the one query against an in-form runner.
AI verdict

SR 73 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Mister Mojito heads our ratings here and has already shown he gets today's trip. He's without a win in his last five starts, though, with a modest sixth his latest effort three weeks ago, leaving current form as the query.
AI verdict

SR 66 suggests ability but 10/3 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Born A Rebel has been in the shake-up recently, second last time out and again earlier on, and she already has experience over today's trip. A 27-day gap since that latest second is the only concern, but her pattern makes her a leading player here.
AI verdict

SR 71 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Alafdhal is yet to figure in his last five starts, never finishing better than fifth, though he does have experience over today's trip. His speed figure reads sharper than his rating suggests, but ranked fifth of seven here, he needs more to trouble this field.
AI verdict

SR 41 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

Sedgemoor's figures work him a few pounds above his current official mark, and this six-race sequence includes a win to his name. He was only 9th when last seen 24 days ago, though, and bouncing back from that flat effort is the key test here.
AI verdict

SR 56 suggests ability but 11/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Chloe's Courage is the bottom-rated runner here and returns from a 176-day absence, a gap hard to ignore. Her form does include a win and a runner-up effort earlier on, plus experience over today's trip, but she was only 9th last time and the lay-off leaves her hard to fancy fresh.
AI verdict

SR 47 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Coolagh Magic won last time out, but that follows a run of modest efforts beforehand, and he's only sixth of seven on our rating for this race. He already has experience over today's trip, so a repeat of that improvement would put him in the mix.
AI verdict

SR 51 suggests ability but 11/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Prefer The Sister
Confidence: Medium

Prefer The Sister holds the highest SR in the field at 73 and carries 9-13 — a meaningful weight burden, but offset by demonstrably superior ability over rivals rated as low as 41-71. The form string 423121 (rightmost = last run) shows a win last time out just 9 days ago, confirming peak condition, and both DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm this 7f Good to Firm surface is squarely in her wheelhouse. The market has drifted 9% (Mkt:out9%) and the MarkMv:+12 rise off the last winning mark is a genuine concern, but James Owen's 17% trainer strike rate over 1,488 runners is the strongest training strike rate in this field by some margin, and no rival combines SR, confirmed course conditions fit, and recent winning form. The drift likely reflects the rise in mark and the step up in class (ClassMv:↑1), but the raw ability gap over this field is too wide to ignore. Each-way alternative: Born A Rebel. Main danger: Born A Rebel — Born A Rebel (SR:71, 11/4) is just 2 SR points below the selection, holds the lightest weight among the top three at 9-10, shows GoingFit:+ on today's Good to Firm ground, and has a course placing (W0P1) at Newmarket (July) — the market's second-shortest price reflects genuine each-way claims even if the trainer's 3% strike rate and a form string ending in '202' (second, off, second) suggest a horse more inclined to place than win.
