4/1 8/1 3/1
Winless in his last two starts and ranked fifth of six on our figures, Arthurian faces a stiff task here, though he has run over today's trip before and a second last time out offers a crumb of form; the 130 lb burden adds to his burden.
AI verdict

SR 81 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

First Law won last time out, which is the chief point in his favour, but ranked last of six on our figures and carrying 130 lb from stall 3, he faces a stiff task against superior-rated rivals on what is a thin profile.
AI verdict

SR 58 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

8/1 FCST 6/1
Rafe's Da Man arrives here in good heart following his win last time out, and he has experience over today's trip to call upon, carrying 130 lb from stall six. The significant concern is a trainer currently without a winner in 45 runners over the past fortnight.
AI verdict

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

Ran third last time out after winning two starts back, and Rocket Boy arrives here in decent nick on 24 days' rest, with experience over today's trip and carrying 130 lb from stall five. The one to beat.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 9-4 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Romanza has been knocking on the door, finishing third last time out and second two starts back, and his consistent profile is backed by a rating of 92 in a field of six; yet to win in his last four starts remains the concern.
AI verdict

SR 67 suggests ability but 25/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

18/1 33/1 12/1
Theheatison arrives in good heart after a runner-up finish last time out and a win four starts back, and he has run over today's trip before — a solid profile that makes him a genuine danger. The main risk is whether 130 lb will blunt his finishing effort.
AI verdict

SR 69 suggests ability but 25/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Rocket Boy
Confidence: Speculative

Rocket Boy (SR:108, 13/8) is comfortably the highest-rated horse in this field and holds a SR advantage of 16 points over the next best, Rafe's Da Man (SR:92). Running at the same class as last time (ClassMv:=) indicates connections believe this is the right level, and the market has shortened 13% since opening — meaningful support in a 6-runner field. The form figure of 1-3 shows a win followed by a third, and with all runners carrying equal weight (9-4) the SR edge is not diluted by a lbs penalty. The going is heavy and unknown to all runners (GoingFit:? across the board), but Rocket Boy's class and progressive profile make him the logical selection. Each-way alternative: Rafe's Da Man. Main danger: Arthurian — Arthurian (SR:81) has been heavily supported into 5/1 from a much longer price (in 37%), carries the same weight as all rivals, and trainer Andrew Balding (19% strike rate) paired with P J McDonald is a sharp booking — if there is a hidden angle in this field, this is where the money suggests it sits.
