9/4
Drifts Away is the one to beat here, winning last time out and returning in sharp order just eight days on. He has run over today's trip and going before, and his rating of 78 heads the field — though that seventh two starts back merits a watch.
AI verdict

SR 74 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Rising Force brings winning form in recent starts — a winner four starts back and again six starts back — and he has experience over today's trip and going, returning on a fresh 21-day break from stall 2 carrying 141 lb; the worry is three moderate efforts since that last victory.
AI verdict

SR 68 suggests ability but 8/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Twice placed in her last four starts, Born A Rebel returns on a sharp 14-day turnaround with experience of today's distance and going in her favour, and our rating of 71 marks her out as a genuine threat from stall 5 — the risk is that she remains winless in recent starts.
AI verdict

SR 63 suggests ability but 11/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Mertoun won two of his last five starts, including back-to-back victories, and has experience of today's trip and going, but our figures rank him last of seven in this field, making him hard to fancy at the weights.
AI verdict

SR 87 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in his last five starts, Currumbin at least showed up with a third three starts back, though unplaced efforts either side temper confidence; he has run over today's trip and going, carries 133 lb from stall six, and a fourth last time out keeps him in the mix without screaming improvement.
AI verdict

SR 45 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 22/1.

King Of Charm has a win and a runner-up finish in his last three starts, but ranks sixth of seven on our figures and carries 130 lb from stall 7; has run over today's trip and going before, yet that burden makes him hard to fancy at these weights.
AI verdict

SR 68 suggests ability but 15/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Crimson Rambler has been consistently threatening in recent starts — third two runs back and runner-up last time out, 13 days ago — and he has experience of today's trip and going; the main risk is that he remains winless in his last six starts.
AI verdict

SR 69 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Mertoun
Confidence: Medium

Mertoun leads the field on SR:87 — a meaningful 13-point gap over the next-best — and arrives on a sharp 8-9211 form string with a recent win last time out. At 9-7 that SR advantage is not being eroded by weight; Drifts Away (SR:74) carries 10-7, a full stone more, which on good-to-firm Newmarket is a tangible drag. The step up in class (ClassMv:↑1) and a mark 11lb above last win are the legitimate negatives, but a three-year-old improving through the handicap ranks with consecutive wins is exactly the horse that absorbs a mark rise and still graduates through Class 5. Trainer Jane Chapple-Hyam (11%, 333 runners) is a steady operator at this level and apprentice Alexandra Egan's 16% strike rate from 70 rides is a positive, not a negative. Each-way alternative: Drifts Away. Main danger: Drifts Away — Drifts Away (SR:74, 9/4 favourite) has confirmed distance aptitude (DistFit:+), is running off the same mark as its last win, and while the 10-7 burden is heavy, the market has backed it in to favouritism suggesting connections are confident despite the weight.
