Optician was fifth last time out, and a winner two starts back, and he has raced over today's trip and going before. A pulled-up effort further back is the blot on the sheet, but the recent form still marks him among the leading threats.

Harswell Ruby was fourth last time out, and a second two starts back, in a fairly steady sequence, and she has raced over today's trip and going before. Without a win in that run, the form still reads consistent enough for this midfield grade.

Flying Fletcher was seventh last time out, and a third two starts back, and he has raced over today's trip and going before. The yard is out of form (a 5% strike rate lately), but the placed effort keeps him among the dangers.

Kisiyra was seventh last time out and hasn't threatened a placed finish in her last four starts, though she does have experience over today's trip. A 55-day absence and a modest speed figure add to the questions surrounding this outsider.

SR 45 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 66/1.
Diderot tops our figures here despite modest recent form, with nothing better than fifth in his last six starts and a refusal among them, though he has raced over today's trip and going before. That gap between his form and our rating marks him the chief threat on paper.

Leopards Rock was third last time out, second two starts back, and third again before that, and he has experience of today's going. Rated bottom of this field, with the yard also out of form lately, he needs plenty to click.

Lucky Hero was third last time out, quick to reappear after just 11 days, and he'd won four starts back, with experience over today's trip and going. The form dipped either side of that win, but the fast turnaround and recent placing make him our pick.

Natzor was unplaced last time out, and ninth two starts back, with a fourth three starts before that, and he has raced over today's trip and going before. A 32-day gap adds uncertainty, though he remains a fair midfield contender on our figures.

Kitsune Power won last time out, the only success in his last six starts, but that followed a run of modest efforts, and he has raced over today's trip and going before. Rated near the bottom of this field, he needs to prove that was more than a one-off.

Kitsune Power owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (39) and market confidence (79). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.

Lucky Hero (SR:81, 4/1) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin and drops down one class off a mark that is 2lb lower than his last win, giving him a structural advantage. His course record of W1P1 at Redcar is directly relevant on a track that rewards specialists, and the apprentice booking of Conor Whiteley (18% strike rate from 100 runners) is the strongest jockey stat in the race. The 15% drift is a concern and must be acknowledged, but it is not catastrophic — market drifts on O'Meara runners in low-grade apprentice handicaps are not uncommon when stable confidence is understated publicly. The SR:81 represents a 5-point ceiling above the next-best rival (Leopards Rock, SR:76) and a class drop with a favourable mark makes this a straightforward opportunity.
Each-way alternative: Kitsune Power.
Main danger: Leopards Rock — Leopards Rock (SR:76, 5/1) is a lightly-raced 3-year-old with consistent placed form (3-2-3) dropping a class, and Edward Bethell's 15% trainer strike rate represents the best yard in the field — if the unexposed youngster has improved since his last run, the gap to Lucky Hero narrows considerably.
