Cadarn won last time out and heads this field on a rating of 87. He has raced over today's trip and going before, and the sole concern is a yard currently managing just a 1/25 strike rate over the last fortnight.
AI verdict

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

Jimmy Speaking flopped to ninth last time out but that followed two wins in the three starts before, form that underpins a rating of 86. He has raced over today's trip and going before, with a 43-day break the main danger to his readiness.

SR 94 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Farasi Lane has been metronomic this campaign, fifth last time out and fifth again two starts back, with a win six starts back. He has raced over today's trip and going before, and a strong speed rating of 84 makes him a leading danger on a rating of 83.
AI verdict

SR 70 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Sir Paul Ramsey was seventh last time out and sixth two starts back, modest form that leaves him without a win in his last six starts. He has raced over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 80 keeps him competitive in this line-up without standing out.

Ben Lawers was unplaced last time out following a mixed run of sixths, though he does have a win six starts back. He has raced over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 81 keeps him among the leading dangers despite that recent blip.
AI verdict

SR 52 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 28/1.

Garden Oasis was fourth last time out and fifth two starts back, respectable without getting close enough for a win in his last six starts. He has raced over today's trip and going before, and while a rating of 79 is workmanlike, he sits toward the back of this field.
AI verdict

SR 76 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Jesmond Dawn won last time out, backed up by a runner-up effort four starts back, form that reads well on paper. Even so, he's the outsider here on a rating of 67, some way behind this field on our figures despite that recent win.
AI verdict

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

Jimmy Speaking
Confidence: Medium

Jimmy Speaking (SR 94, 7/4) is the class standout in this field by a clear margin — an SR of 94 dwarfs the next-best runners at SR 82, and a drop of two class tiers means he is significantly better than the opposition on ability grounds. The market has hammered him in from a wider price, shortening 30%, with Silvestre De Sousa booked — a jockey whose 14% strike rate from 779 career rides signals a serious booking. His GoingFit:+ confirms comfort on today's good ground, and while DistFit:~ is a mild concern at the mile trip, his recent form of 0-1129 shows a sharp uptick culminating in a win last time, making the last run the most relevant. The mark is only 2lb higher than at that last win, a negligible penalty given the class drop. Each-way alternative: Garden Oasis. Main danger: Jesmond Dawn — Jesmond Dawn (SR 82, 10/3) has confirmed DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ at this trip and going, won at this course (Course:W1P2), and arrives on the back of a last-time-out win — though the drift of 24% and a step up in class (ClassMv:↑1) off a mark 5lb higher than at that win are legitimate concerns.
