33/1 12/1 28/1
Stanley Spencer shaped with plenty of promise when second two starts back, and his experience over today's trip and going, combined with a rating of 85 that ranks him among the chief dangers, makes him a serious threat; the risk is that he comes into this yet to win in recent starts.
AI verdict

SR 56 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 28/1.

Obelix posted a win five starts back and arrives here fit on 24 days' rest, with experience over today's trip and our rating placing him at the head of this nine-runner field; the worry is that he has managed just one victory in his last six starts.
AI verdict

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

Capital Guarantee won three starts back but has finished sixth in two outings since, suggesting he blows hot and cold; he has run over today's distance and going, carries 133 lb from stall eight, and 21 days between runs leaves fitness an open question.

SR 75 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Midnight Strike shaped well when third last time out, and a winner three starts back, he arrives in decent nick after 34 days off with experience of today's trip and going to call on; the risk is that he has been in and out of form in recent starts.
AI verdict

SR 72 suggests ability but 11/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winner three starts back, Mr King returns on a quick 14-day turnaround carrying 132 lb from stall one, with experience over today's trip an asset; the fifth last time out leaves something to prove, but he shaped well enough to hold interest at his best.
AI verdict

SR 84 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Imperial Guard has winning form in recent starts — a winner three runs back and two wins before that — but his unplaced effort last time out is an obvious concern, and ranked last on our figures he faces a stiff ask at 130 lb here despite having experience over today's distance and going.

Packetofbiscuits has struggled badly in recent starts, finishing eighth last time out and seventh the time before, and he ranks eighth of nine on our figures here, making him hard to fancy despite carrying a manageable 127 lb and having experience over today's trip and going.
AI verdict

SR 52 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 25/1.

Winless in his last six starts and ranked seventh of nine on our figures, Fiscal Policy is hard to fancy despite a third last time out and experience over today's trip; the trainer's current 4% strike rate over the past 14 days adds little encouragement.

Winless in his last six starts, Nyman does at least bring distance and going experience to the table and returns on a reasonable 21-day break, but a ninth last time out is hard to ignore for a gelding carrying 125 lb from stall 3.
AI verdict

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

Nyman
Confidence: Speculative

Nyman (SR:81, 7/2) has steamed in 25% from opening which is the most significant market move in this field and strongly suggests stable/market confidence. Despite stepping up one class (ClassMv:↑1), a mark that has dropped 8lb since last win (MarkMv:-8) gives him a compelling weight advantage — carrying only 8-13 against rivals rated similarly or higher on heavier weights. At 4 years old he is the youngest and potentially most progressive horse in the race, and Roger Fell/Joanna Mason (both 11% strike rates) represent a competent northern combination. The distance record (DistFit:-) is a concern but the 25% market move suggests connections believe he handles the step to 7f. Each-way alternative: Obelix. Main danger: Obelix — Obelix (SR:81, 11/4) is the joint-highest rated horse, carries proven distance fitness (DistFit:+), is ridden by Jason Hart who leads this field with a 14% career strike rate, and at 11/4 represents the market's preferred option — if Nyman's distance questions prove valid, Obelix is best placed to capitalise.

Case against 4 clamped
  • Form reads 406439 — last two runs are a '3' and a '9', with that recent ninth a significant backward step suggesting something may be amiss heading into today.
  • No distance record at 7f (DistFit:-) in a race where rivals like Mr King (SR:84) and Obelix (SR:81) have proven form at this trip and class.
  • Mr King (SR:84, 4/1) carries identical weight (9-6 vs 8-13 = 7lb pull) but boasts a superior SR, course form W1P1, and only an 8% market move in — arguably better value with proven credentials.
  • Class rise (↑1) combined with unproven distance and a trainer/jockey combo both at just 11% strike rate makes the 7/2 price look thin when Obelix at 11/4 matches SR:81 with a stronger recent profile.
