Poet's Dawn arrives on the back of three wins in his last six starts, including back-to-back victories three and four starts back, and has experience of today's trip and conditions; the risk is that his last two runs have yielded a seventh and a ninth, raising questions about current form.
AI verdict

SR 75 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Placed in four of his last five starts, His Finest Hour arrives here fresh after 17 days, has run over today's trip, and carries 138 lb from stall three; winless in recent starts but his strong profile of seconds and thirds marks him as the one to beat.
AI verdict

SR 80 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Yermanthere showed his worth with back-to-back seconds and a win earlier in this run of form, giving him solid recent form, and he has experience of today's distance and going; the main concern is that sixth last time out suggests he can find one or two too good.

Third three starts back offers a crumb of comfort for No Knee Never, but he arrives winless in his last six starts and a trainer striking at just 5% in the past fortnight is a concern, even if experience over today's trip and going keeps him in the conversation from stall 4.

Draupnir has run over today's trip and going and, with our rating putting him second of seven in this field, he arrives with genuine claims as a leading threat; the worry is that he has been winless in his last six starts, and his recent finishing positions make improvement the key ask.

Cosmos Raj returns on a quick ten-day turnaround and has run over today's trip and going, but ranked sixth of seven on our figures he faces a stiff task, and four consecutive finishes off the frame in his last six starts before that recent win make him hard to fancy at the weights.

Winless in his last five starts, with an unplaced effort latest and finishes of eighth and ninth in the two runs prior, Precious Spartan faces a stiff task ranked last on our figures; a third four starts back and distance-and-going experience at least offer slim crumbs of comfort.
AI verdict

SR 49 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

His Finest Hour
Confidence: Speculative

His Finest Hour (SR:80, 7/4) is the highest-rated horse in this field by a clear margin and drops a class on a mark level with his last win — the ideal handicapper's scenario. His DistFit:+ confirms he handles this 1m1f170y trip, and at 9-12 he carries less than Poet's Dawn (10-0) despite superior ability. Trainer Tina Jackson runs at 15% — the sharpest strike rate in this field — and though GoingFit is unknown, there's no negative soft-ground record to worry about. The favourite tag here is earned by class and conditions rather than market noise. Each-way alternative: Cosmos Raj. Main danger: Cosmos Raj — Cosmos Raj (SR:70, 4/1) arrives on a form line of 766441 showing a recent win, holds strong course form (W2P3), and carries a handy 9-7 with a DistFit:+ — though the 33% drift is a concern, his apprentice jockey Whiteley runs at 18% which is the best in the race.

Case against 4 clamped
