SP FCST 11/2
Returned a promising second last time out, and Yorkshire has run over today's trip and going before — the weight and draw from stall 16 are the factors to watch, but he shapes as a genuine threat despite being winless in recent starts.
AI verdict

SR 69 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at -.

Croupier landed a win and was runner-up next time in his recent runs, and has experience of today's trip and going; carrying 134 lb from stall nine, his rating of 100 marks him as the one to beat, though his latest two runs give slight pause.
AI verdict

SR 66 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

15/8 32/17 31/19
Asuka arrives in cracking nick — a winner last time out and again three starts back, with experience over today's trip and going and a quick 10-day turnaround suggesting he's thriving; the 134 lb burden from stall two is the main concern.
AI verdict

SR 95 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Aurora Majesty showed a win and placed efforts earlier in this sequence but has gone unplaced in his last two, and 57 days off adds a fitness query; he has run over today's trip and going, and stall one is his draw.
AI verdict

SR 70 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 20/1.

Angel Hunter has run over this combination of distance and going, and at 22 days he arrives fresh and ready; the concern is that he's been out of the frame in his last five starts since that victory.
AI verdict

SR 81 suggests ability but 6/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Yankee Dude hasn't run for 117 days and, ranked 12 of 16 on our figures, is hard to fancy; he does carry experience over today's trip and going, showed a second last time out, and has two wins in his last four starts, but the layoff is a real concern.
AI verdict

SR 70 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

25/1 FCST 22/1
Landed a win two starts back but has been unplaced since, and a trainer strike-rate of just 1/45 in the last 14 days is a real concern; he has experience over today's trip and going, though, and returns after 22 days off carrying 131 lb from stall 5.
AI verdict

SR 62 suggests ability but 25/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Here is the corrected comment: Brighton Boy landed a win four starts back and shaped with promise when second three starts back, but unplaced on his return 35 days ago tempers enthusiasm; he has distance and going experience, yet 130 lb is a stiff burden to overcome.
AI verdict

SR 67 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

Winless in his last five starts, New Image does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, but his recent form — unplaced last time out and largely out of the frame — makes it hard to get enthusiastic, despite a rating of 88 suggesting some latent ability.
AI verdict

SR 76 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ran well when winning last time out and has experience of today's trip and conditions, but he carries 129 lb from stall 8 and ranks 11th of 16 on our ratings — form has been patchy in recent starts beyond that latest success.

Winless in his last six but back-to-back seconds two and three starts back show he's competitive, and he has run over today's trip and going before; 128 lb from stall 14 and a recent unplaced run are the checks against him here.
AI verdict

Obelix won three starts back but has finished fifth in each of his last two, and while he has run over today's trip and going before, the 127 lb burden from stall 15 makes further improvement a tough ask.
AI verdict

SR 71 suggests ability but 16/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ranked 13 of 16 on our figures, Glenfinnan is hard to fancy despite a second last time out brightening his recent form; the ninth three starts back reflects a more typical profile, and he faces a stiff task at these weights even with distance and going experience in his favour.
AI verdict

King's School has shown he can win in recent starts — a winner three starts back, and a second two starts back — but a fifth last time out and a ranking of 16th on our figures make him hard to fancy at the weights here.

Winless in his last six starts, Woodstock has run over today's trip and going and bounced back to consecutive runner-up finishes in his last two, which offers some encouragement — but ranked 14th of 16 on our figures from stall 10, he faces a stiff task off 122 lb.

AI verdict

Asuka
Confidence: Medium

Asuka (SR:95, 15/8) is the standout ability benchmark in this field — 9 SR points clear of the next-best It Just Takes Time (SR:86) and operating on a mark identical to her last win (MarkMv:=). The market has backed her in 14% since opening, reflecting genuine confidence from the George Boughey yard (17% strike rate, 738 runners — a strong operation). Her form reads 1/21: a win, a placed effort and a win last time out, showing consistent improvement at Class 3 level. The step up one class tier is the only note of caution, but her raw SR advantage — 9+ points over the nearest rival — means she brings the ability to absorb that rise. Each-way alternative: Angel Hunter. Main danger: It Just Takes Time — It Just Takes Time (SR:86) has an excellent course record of W2P4 at Thirsk and last-time-out form of 1, and while it carries a +4 mark, the course specialism and experienced Jack Garritty booking give it the clearest case to run Asuka close.
