33/1 20/1 33/1
Unplaced last time out, but a winner two starts back, Holy See settles for just 89 on our figures (20th of 23) despite an official mark of 98. Has run over today's going before and carries 170 lb, but strictly one of the outsiders on form here.
AI verdict

SR 76 suggests ability but 33/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

66/1 50/1 66/1
Yashin has raced over today's trip before and returns from 41 days off, with the fastest speed figure in this field (91) underlining his engine. Recent placings read workmanlike - no better than sixth in five starts - but he tops our figures on 101, a pound ahead of the next best and this field's biggest threat.
AI verdict

SR 68 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 66/1.

Two sevenths in her last two starts, though a runner-up four starts back, Galileo Dame races for a yard in good form (31% over the last fortnight). Rated 94 (10th of 23), she's workmanlike rather than progressive on recent evidence.
AI verdict

A winner last time out and three from his last five starts, Lark In The Mornin joins a yard in good form and has run over today's going before. Second of 23 on our figures, he's the pick on profile and fitness, with only a modest speed figure to query.

SR 93 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Unplaced last time out, Glenroyal was a winner two starts back, and again three starts back, for a yard in good form. He's only 82 on our figures, though - bottom of the 23 here - well below his official mark of 92, and there's a lot to find on this book.

Third last time out, and a runner-up three starts back, Granite Bay is honest without a win, placed in three of his last five starts. He has run over today's distance and going before, and a rating of 96 (6th of 23) suggests more to come despite the 54-day absence.

A modest recent record - including a pulled-up run - leaves Comfort Zone winless in his last five starts, with a third four starts back his only bright spot. He's much higher rated on our figures at 97 (5th of 23) with the fastest speed figure here (94), fit again for a yard in good form.

Eagle Fang
Confidence: Medium

Eagle Fang (SR:99, 8/1) is the joint-highest rated horse in the field and combines that ability ceiling with two critical fitness signals: DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm he handles today's 2m0f179y trip on good ground from his record, which no other leading contender can match. The market has shortened 25% since opening — the strongest steam in the field among the realistic contenders — and his three-race form string '3/21' shows progressive improvement culminating in a recent win just 13 days ago, suggesting peak condition. At 11-8 he carries 2lb less than Granite Bay (SR:97) and is notably lighter than the over-burdened Holy See (12-2) and Lark In The Mornin (11-11), giving him a meaningful weight edge relative to his ability. William Durkan's yard runs at 15% and has fielded Eagle Fang as the clear stable number one here over stablemate Holy See. Each-way alternative: Daddy Long Legs. Main danger: Granite Bay — Granite Bay (SR:97, 6/1) has steamed 28% in the market — the biggest move among confirmed contenders — and at SR:97 matches Eagle Fang's ability tier; if the market is reading something in today's conditions, he represents the most credible threat.
