Runner-up last time out, having won two and three starts back — two victories in her last five starts. Back on a quick five-day turnaround with trip and going experience, and out of a red-hot yard, our rating of 86 marks her a leading danger, though repeating that form here remains to be seen.
AI verdict

SR 89 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Won last time out after a solid run of thirds beforehand, this filly has been freshened up with 38 days since that success. She has trip and going experience, and our rating of 88 — second-best in the field — makes her a serious threat, though the layoff is a slight concern.

SR 73 suggests ability but 9/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last five starts, sixth last time out, and a third four starts back the best of a mixed sequence. Trip and going experience and a rating of 74 keep him in touch on paper, but there's little in this form to inspire real confidence.

SR 46 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 50/1.

Yet to win in his last five outings, though a second three starts back and a third five back are the pick of them. He's the top-rated runner here on our figures at 89 and has trip and going experience, but a yard managing 0 from 24 lately, and 45 days off, are the obvious concerns.

A disappointing ninth last time out sits oddly alongside a win two starts back, in a mixed sequence of six recent starts. Trip and going experience and a rating of 78 leave her capable of better, but the inconsistency is the clear knock against her chances.

Winless in his last four starts but a third last time out was his best effort in a while. Race-fit questions remain after 107 days off, yet he has run over today's trip before and a rating of 82 — fourth-best in the field — makes him one of the leading dangers if fully wound up.

Winless in her last five starts despite a runner-up last time out, and thirds three and five starts back — a frustratingly consistent frame without a breakthrough. Trip and going experience and a rating of 78 keep her in this mid-pack company, needing to find that extra to threaten.

A modest sixth last time out follows a much better spell that included a win four starts back, and runners-up two and five starts back. Trip and going experience count in her favour, but a rating of 70 — down the field here — makes her a hard sell against this depth of quality.

Well beaten last time out, but a win four starts back, and a runner-up six back, hint at ability when conditions click. Trip and going experience support her claims, though a rating of 68 leaves her near the bottom of this field, making her a longshot on this evidence.

Winless in his last four starts, with a run of ninths and unplaced efforts showing little to work with. Trip and going experience are there, but a rating of 63 — last of the fifteen on our figures — leaves him hard to recommend on current form, despite a quick 7-day turnaround.

Dancing Saxon
Confidence: Medium

Dancing Saxon (SR:89, 4/5) is the class standout in this field by a significant margin — the next-best runners sit at SR:69, a 20-point gap that is decisive in a modest €10,800 handicap. The recent form string 46-112 shows a horse that has been progressive, winning twice in recent starts, and GoingFit:+ confirms proven effectiveness on today's good ground. J.P. O'Brien (16% strike rate, 1,468 runners) booking Dylan Browne McMonagle (15%) is a serious first-team pairing that the yard deploys for intended winners. The MarkMv:+6 is a concern — the handicapper has responded to those wins — but the SR advantage over the field is large enough to absorb the penalty, and 9-12 other top-rated handlers (Sagasti, Expert Dancer) are carrying less weight with considerably lower ability ratings. Each-way alternative: Sagasti. Main danger: Sagasti — Sagasti (SR:69, 10/1) has steamed in 22% in the market with Colin Keane — Ireland's leading jockey at 16% strike rate — booked, and carries only 9-6 giving a meaningful weight advantage over Dancing Saxon at 10-0, though the GoingFit:- is a real concern that the market may be overriding.
