25/1
Wield has run over today's trip and going, carries a manageable 135 lb from stall six, and our rating puts him ahead of his official mark, flagging genuine claims here; the concern is that he has been winless in his last five starts, with a seventh last time out the immediate worry.
AI verdict

SR 46 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 33/1.

Won two starts back, and at 135 lb from stall one she arrives here fit on 25 days' rest with experience of today's trip and going — a filly worth siding with on current conditions.
AI verdict

SR 72 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Legacy Rock arrives here with back-to-back wins three and four starts back, and his experience over today's trip and going underlines his suitability, with our rating of 76 marking him out as the one to beat; the worry is that his last two runs have both been sixths, so he must show he has rediscovered that earlier spark.
AI verdict

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

Mayflower Billy has been knocking on the door, with a second three starts back a clear highlight, but he has been winless in his last five and returns after a 60-day break, which is the key unknown heading into this.
AI verdict

SR 66 suggests ability but 17/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Silky Lass has distance and going experience in her favour, and her second two starts back shows she can get competitive, but a ninth last time out after 64 days off raises fitness questions as she returns from a break carrying 132 lb from stall 4.
AI verdict

SR 54 suggests ability but 20/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Power Strike has run over today's trip and going, carries a workable weight of 131 lb from stall 5, and our rating of 72 marks him out as a genuine threat in a competitive field; the concern is a 144-day absence and a winless recent run of three starts.
AI verdict

SR 65 suggests ability but 8/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last three starts and ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Test Run faces a stiff task here; he has run over today's trip and returns after a 30-day break, but his recent string of fourths and a fifth offers little encouragement at 130 lb from stall three.
AI verdict

SR 52 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 14/1.

Legacy Rock
Confidence: Speculative

Legacy Rock (SR 79, 4/1) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin and has proven distance credentials (DistFit:+) at this 1m trip — a meaningful edge when four rivals show DistFit:? at the same trip. The market has shortened 12% since opening, signalling money coming in for a horse at a yard running at 9% strike rate with the in-form Billy Loughnane aboard (19% career strike rate). The GoingFit:- flag on good ground is the main concern, but the class-5 level here and the weight advantage — 9-8 versus the top runners — plus the SR lead make this a case where the positive signals outweigh the going reservation. Form of 411266 shows a horse that can win at this level and has been competitive consistently. Each-way alternative: Vega Storm. Main danger: Vega Storm — Vega Storm (SR 72, 7/2) matches Filly Eilish on SR but carries 7lb less than Legacy Rock, has shortened 11% in the market, and Fahey's yard at 10% strike rate with recent form 350463 suggests a horse building towards a win — the light weight of 9-2 could prove decisive in a tight finish.
