Supreme Lord won last time out and, returning fit on just nine days' rest, has experience of today's trip and conditions; the 139 lb burden is the one query, but his recent winning form makes him the pick of the field.
AI verdict

SR 90 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Won two starts back and has experience of both today's trip and conditions, La Tache arrives at draw eight carrying 138 lb on a compact 43-day break; the main risk is that he was beaten into fourth last time out.
AI verdict

SR 81 suggests ability but 8/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ran second last time out and was a winner three starts back, so I Ready arrives in fair nick after a 20-day break, with both distance and going experience in his locker; the 132 lb burden and a mid-table rating of 84 are the checks on his chance.
AI verdict

SR 80 suggests ability but 9/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Lars Soldier shaped with promise when second three starts back and third five starts back, and has run over today's trip and going, giving him a solid grounding; the concern is he has been winless in recent starts and at 131 lb faces a stiff task on just five days' rest.
AI verdict

SR 84 suggests ability but 6/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Lady Patrona arrives on the back of a win last time out and has experience of both today's trip and going, while her rating of 93 puts her clear at the head of this field — the chief worry is whether 129 lb from stall one blunts her finishing effort.
AI verdict

SR 91 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Consecutive sixth-place finishes make Shesthedevil hard to fancy on recent form, and our figures rank her towards the foot of this field, though she does hold a win three starts back and has run over today's trip and going before.

SR 59 suggests ability but 20/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Howlin Wolf showed his best when winning two starts back, though he was only fourth and seventh in earlier starts before bouncing back into second last time out; he has distance and going experience to draw on, but his speed rating of 61 and ranking seventh of ten suggest he faces a stiff ask from stall three carrying 121 lb.

Winless in her last five starts, with three finishes of seventh or worse in that sequence, Celestial Crown is hard to fancy from stall seven carrying 119 lb, though she has run over today's distance and going before and that familiarity offers modest encouragement.

Supreme Lord
Confidence: Speculative

Supreme Lord (SR:90, 5/2) posts the joint-highest SR in the field alongside Lady Patrona, but crucially is the only runner with a confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's good ground — a meaningful edge in a 10-runner nursery where several rivals show GoingFit:- or GoingFit:?. The form string 3-5-5-1 shows a progressive arc culminating in a last-time-out win just nine days ago, indicating peak freshness rather than staleness. The MarkMv:+12 is a concern — connections are asking him to concede his winning mark — but Donagh O'Connor is a booking that keeps the price honest and the trainer's 14% strike rate is respectable at this level. Despite top-weight of 9-13, the going advantage and peak form outweigh the burden. Each-way alternative: Lars Soldier. Main danger: Lady Patrona — Lady Patrona matches Supreme Lord on SR:91 (joint-highest), carries 10lb less at 9-3, has a last-time-out win in her form (2-4-4-1) and has been gently supported into 5/1 (Mkt:in6%), with Shane Foley — the stronger jockey booking here by strike rate — in the plate; the weight relief could prove decisive.

Case against 4 clamped
  • Top-weight of 9-13 in a 10-runner nursery is the heaviest burden in the field — conceding up to 20lbs to rivals like Howlin Wolf (8-9) is a steep ask for a 2yo on a sharp track like Navan.
  • MarkMv:+12 means he runs off a mark 12lbs higher than his last-out win; only one other runner (I Ready, +9) faces a comparable hike, and the market hasn't punished them the same way.
  • Donagh O'Connor's stable strike rate of just 7% (359 rides) is the softest jockey booking on the shortlist — Shane Foley (11%) and Colin Keane (16%) both offer materially better statistical support f…
  • Lady Patrona (SR:91, joint-highest, MarkMv:+2) carries 10lbs less, faces a minimal handicap rise, and has drifted only 6% in the market — making her a structurally superior position with near-identic…
