9/2 4/1 9/2
Jagged Edge was third last time out and a winner three starts back, showing he retains the ability to hit the frame; he has run over today's trip and going, and at just five days since his last start, freshness could be a minor query, though a rating of 105 suggests he has the class to go well from stall 14.
AI verdict

SR 96 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Vafortino heads this field on our ratings and has run over today's trip and going, bringing relevant experience to the table from stall three at 138 lb — though his recent string of finishes outside the places makes a first win a pressing concern.
AI verdict

SR 85 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last five starts, Dorset nonetheless rates 108 on our figures — second of 17 — and has experience of today's trip and conditions; the risk is that an unplaced effort just four days ago raises freshness concerns.

Dunum has experience over today's distance and going, and his win four starts back shows he can find the winning thread — a rating of 106 underlines he has the class to threaten. The worry is consecutive unplaced efforts in his last two runs.
AI verdict

SR 92 suggests ability but 11/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Gleneagle Bay won two starts back but has been sixth last time out, and five days between runs is a quick turnaround; he has run over today's distance and going before, though carrying 134 lb from stall 17 adds to the task.

SR 92 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Boasts back-to-back wins in recent starts, though he's been unplaced last time out and hasn't run in 71 days; has experience of today's trip and going, but that return from absence is the key question from stall 11 off 134 lb.

Winless in his last six starts, Lord Massusus does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, and our rating of 102 suggests he retains ability — but a latest unplaced effort and third five starts back represent the key extremes of a frustratingly inconsistent profile.

Yet to win in his last six starts, City House nonetheless brings distance and going experience to the table, and 15 days since his last run suggests he arrives fresh; the 130 lb burden and a draw of 15 are the notable counterweights at a mark of 92.

An unplaced latest run after a pair of thirds makes Dark Ace hard to fancy ranked 13 of 17 on our figures, and 130 lb is a stiff burden from stall 16; he has run over today's trip and going before, and two wins in his last five starts show he retains ability.

Winless in his last six starts, Far From Dandy does offer two seconds in recent form, though back-to-back unplaced efforts are a concern; has run over today's trip and going, and 130 lb from stall five makes life no easier.

SR 70 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 22/1.

Pierre Royal
Confidence: Medium

Pierre Royal (SR:96, 4/1) shares the joint-highest SR in the field with Jagged Edge but carries a significantly lighter weight of 9-3 versus Jagged Edge's 10-0 — a 11lb advantage that is decisive on good ground over 7f. His form reads 16-612, meaning he ran second last time out and has been consistently competitive at this level, while the MarkMv:+9 indicates he is running off a higher mark than when he last won, but the weight relief from rivals more than compensates. Within the Adrian McGuinness yard of three runners, Pierre Royal draws the strongest jockey booking in Adam Caffrey and critically has NOT drifted — unlike stablemates City House (out 67%) and Dark Ace (out 41%) — suggesting connections are confident in this runner as the yard's #1. At 4/1 he represents fair market value for the most SR-competitive horse in the race carrying one of the lightest weights. Each-way alternative: Lir Speciale. Main danger: Jagged Edge — Jagged Edge shares the joint-top SR of 96 and is the Stephen Thorne yard's clear #1 pick (better jockey booking, highest SR of the three Thorne runners) at 9/2, though the 10-0 top weight is a significant concern in this competitive 17-runner handicap on good ground.
