9-9
5/2 32/17 9/4
Roi de Coeur arrives on the back of a second two starts back and a win three starts back, boasting experience over today's trip and going, and our rating has him top-rated, if only narrowly — the chief question is whether that fifth last time out signals he's just past his peak.
AI verdict

SR 82 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked eighth of nine on our figures, Taradif is hard to fancy at the weights, though he does bring distance and going experience and a third last time out offers a small crumb of comfort.
AI verdict

SR 52 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 16/1.

Winless in his last five starts, Boy Named Sioux arrives on a quick turnaround of nine days and an unplaced effort latest, though he has experience over today's trip and going and our rating edges him ahead of his official mark, offering some reason for cautious interest.
AI verdict

SR 56 suggests ability but 16/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ranked seventh of nine on our figures, Jackabi makes it hard to build a case, with a fourth last time out and only one win in his last five starts, though he has experience over today's trip and going, breaks from stall one, and returns on a fresh 25-day break.
AI verdict

SR 44 suggests ability but 25/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Wise Crack franked his win two starts back with a fair fourth last time out, and he has experience of today's trip and going conditions. Fit enough at 21 days between runs, and a speed rating of 67 gives him a solid angle, though the trainer's recent strike rate is a concern.
AI verdict

SR 67 suggests ability but 9/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ballybunion has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating puts him second among nine here, suggesting he is a genuine threat despite being winless in his last five starts; that elusive first win remains the key question.
AI verdict

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

Alkumatic Jo Jo was third last time out and has run over today's trip and going, giving her a solid platform from stall three off 130 lb; the worry is that she has been winless in her last six starts, suggesting a win may still prove elusive.
AI verdict

SR 68 suggests ability but 7/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last five starts, Kiani King at least showed a return to form with a third last time out after a pair of poor efforts, and he has run over today's distance and going before; carrying 128 lb from stall four after a 35-day break, he may need to find more to trouble the principals.

SR 71 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

AI verdict

Roi de Coeur
Confidence: Speculative

Roi de Coeur (SR 82, 9/4) is clearly the class leader in this field — his SR of 82 sits well above nearest rival Ballybunion (SR 72) and the rest — and his form string of 765125 shows a recent win (rightmost digits: last run was a 5, penultimate a 2, so the win came third-from-last) with consistent improvement. Crucially, the market has steamed in 15% since opening, the strongest positive market move in the field, suggesting informed support from Marco Botti's yard (15% strike rate, 429 runners — a solid operation). He carries 9-9, which is manageable against a modest Class 5 field, and at 9/4 the market is pricing him correctly as the standout. The MarkMv:+5 is a mild concern but his SR advantage is large enough to absorb the rise. Each-way alternative: Ballybunion. Main danger: Kiani King — Kiani King (SR 71, 7/2) has the lightest weight in the field at 9-2 giving him a 7lb pull on Roi de Coeur, Billy Loughnane's 19% strike rate is the best jockey booking on the card, and course form (W0P1) shows he handles Southwell — though GoingFit:- and a class rise are genuine concerns.

Case against 4 clamped
  • Form string 765125 reads worst-to-best left-to-right, meaning his last run was a 5th and penultimate a 2nd — no win in his last two outings, and the recent trajectory is declining not improving.
  • MarkMv:+5 signals he is being raised 5lb by the handicapper off his last run — a tangible headmark increase that partially erodes his SR advantage over Kiani King (SR 71) and Ballybunion (SR 72).
  • Carries top weight 9-9 against a field where several rivals get significant weight relief (Kiani King 9-2, Alkumatic Jo Jo 9-4) — a 7lb+ swing to those rivals on an AW flat track is material.
  • Kiani King (7/2, SR 71, Billy Loughnane 19% strike rate) pairs the field's highest-strike-rate jockey with a horse that has course placing and is on a steadier weight — a plausible market alternative…
