9-12
14/1 11/1 14/1
Tarriance showed useful form with a third three starts back and has experience of both today's trip and conditions, making him a genuine danger off a mark of 105 — though he returns after 78 days off and his two most recent efforts were disappointing.
AI verdict

SR 88 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Align The Stars won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, which counts in his favour; however, he carries 134 lb and ranks seventh of fourteen on our rating, suggesting he faces a stiff task against stronger rivals.

Burdett Road arrives 28 days fresh with a trainer firing at 36% in the last fortnight, and our rating of 111 marks him out as the one to beat from 14 runners; yet to win in recent starts, a third four starts back shows he retains ability, and he brings distance and going experience into the equation.

SR 73 suggests ability but 33/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Hopewell Rock shaped well when third two starts back and second on a pair of occasions in recent starts, and his experience on today's going is a clear asset at 134 lb; the chief concern is that he has been winless in his last five and was well beaten on his most recent outing.
AI verdict

SR 101 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in his last five starts, though a second three starts back offers a glimmer of encouragement; returning after 46 days off carrying 132 lb, he has run over today's distance and going before, and our rating of 102 suggests he isn't without ability.

Winless in his last five starts, Nesthorn has at least run over today's going before and steps back out after 21 days, but a fourth last time out remains his only bright spot in a patchy recent sequence, and carrying 130 lb makes life harder still.
AI verdict

Aeronautic arrives 46 days between runs and yet to win in his last five starts, though a third three starts back shows he can mix it at this level; carrying 130 lb off an official mark of 97 may test his resolve.
AI verdict

SR 101 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Nightime Dancer has run over today's trip and going, shapes as a genuine threat from his recent fourth and second, and our rating of 105 marks him as one of the strongest profiles in the field; the concern is he's winless in his last five starts and must prove he can convert.
AI verdict

SR 69 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 25/1.

Ranked 12 of 14 on our figures and with a speed rating that leaves plenty to find, Valedictory is hard to fancy at the weights despite three wins in his last five starts; the trainer's 26% strike-rate and experience over today's trip and going are genuine positives, but he faces a stiff ask off 128 lb.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 9-2 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Small Fry has back-to-back wins four and five starts ago, but three successive defeats since — including two ninths — make him hard to fancy, and he ranks last on our figures. Has run over today's trip and going, but that counts for little at present.

Valedictory
Confidence: Medium

Valedictory (SR:108, 3/1) carries the top SR in the field at a relatively light 9-2, giving a meaningful weight edge over comparable rivals. The Gosden/Buick combination posts 25% and 20% career strike rates respectively — the strongest connections in this race — and the horse's form string of 1-2611 shows consistent placing culminating in a last-time-out win, demonstrating peak current form. Course:W1P1 at Goodwood confirms track familiarity at this specialist venue, and the MarkMv:+3 rise in mark is modest for a horse coming off a win. The 10% market drift is a mild concern worth flagging, but no rival combines SR, connections, course form, and a winning last run to the same degree. Each-way alternative: Hopewell Rock. Main danger: Sing Us A Song — Sing Us A Song (SR:104, 11/2) has shortened 13% in the market and carries only 9-4, giving it a 12lb weight pull on Valedictory for a horse just 4lb inferior on SR — if the going suits (GoingFit:? leaves this open), that weight advantage and market confidence could be decisive.
