14/1 8/1 12/1
Morte Point won four starts back and has experience of both today's trip and conditions, giving him a solid platform from stall three off a fair weight; the worry is that he has been out of the frame in all three subsequent runs.
AI verdict

SR 76 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Third last time out and a runner-up five starts back, Aurora Majesty returns on a quick turnaround carrying 138 lb from stall two, and his experience over today's trip and going counts in his favour; winless in his last five, he must convert that placed form, but our rating of 92 marks him as the one to beat.

Kisskodi won two starts back but has looked less convincing either side of that success, finishing fifth and then eighth in his last two, so recapturing that form is the key ask; he has run over today's trip and going before, and 136 lb from stall five is his hand.
AI verdict

SR 89 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Rated 7 of 8 on our figures, New Vega faces a stiff task, and a fifth last time out does little to inspire confidence after 44 days off; she does hold experience over today's trip and was a winner three starts back, but the overall profile makes her hard to fancy.

Rhoscolyn has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 91 puts him right in contention from stall one, yet he arrives just two days after his last outing and is winless in recent starts — a concerning combination.

Naval Light won two of his last five starts, with back-to-back victories two and three starts back, and he brings experience of today's trip and going into the equation; the concern is that seventh last time out leaves his current form under a question mark.
AI verdict

SR 98 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in his last six starts, Do Bronxs does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, and his second last time out offers some encouragement; however, that eighth two starts back is harder to ignore, and 131 lb from stall seven adds further pressure on a mark of 86.

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Velvet Rhythm faces a stiff ask, and one unplaced effort in her last six starts gives pause, though she does return quickly fit from just seven days ago and has run over today's trip before.
AI verdict

SR 79 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Naval Light
Confidence: Speculative

Naval Light (SR 98, 4/1) is the clear class leader in this field — a full 9 points above the next-best Kisskodi and Aurora Majesty at SR 89/85 — and drops a class (ClassMv:↓1) making this a more favourable assignment. The form string -38117 shows back-to-back wins before a likely stiffer test last time, and proven distance aptitude (DistFit:+) is a key differentiator on a 7f trip. A 6% market inward move is modest but directionally positive; trainer K.R. Burke at 19% strike rate with 728 runners is one of the most efficient yards in British racing, and Sam James at 14% is a reliable booking. The weight of 9-7 sits comfortably in the range — giving away nothing that cannot be offset by the SR advantage. Each-way alternative: Kisskodi. Main danger: Kisskodi — Kisskodi (SR 89, 5/1) has steamed in 50% from opening, holds a course win and place (Course:W1P1), and has proven distance aptitude (DistFit:+) — the market move in particular suggests informed money and cannot be ignored.
