Royal Rhythm arrives here on the back of a win last time out and has run over today's trip, with 18 days between runs suggesting he is fit and ready; the chief concern is a pulled-up run two starts back, which clouds his consistency.

SR 89 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Placed third two starts back and third again four starts back, Atreides brings solid each-way form into this, and 18 days since his last run suggests he returns fresh; he has run over today's trip and a rating of 104 makes him a confident pick despite being yet to score in recent starts.

SR 90 suggests ability but 8/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Rated highest in the field and carrying 164 lb, Jefe Triunfo has run over today's trip and is well enough regarded on ratings to demand respect, though he is winless in his last five and returns after a 96-day absence.

SR 93 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
County Champs has been placed three times in his last five starts — second two runs back, second three runs back, and second five runs back — and returns on a quick turnaround of just 14 days, though the pulled-up effort last time is the obvious concern at 160 lb.

SR 86 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Winless in his last five starts and ranked fifth of six on our figures, Clever Relation's recent form includes a pulled-up run and two eighths, making him hard to fancy despite a second two starts back and a fitness edge at just 17 days between runs.

Jefe Triunfo owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (52) and market confidence (82). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.

Even weighting across form, market confidence and race-day volatility.
County Champs (SR:86, 3/1) carries the lightest competitive weight at 11-6 and is dropping a class tier, both structural advantages in a weak Class 5 field. The market has hammered in 66% since opening — the strongest market move in the race by a significant margin — and jockey Fern O'Brien brings a standout 21% strike rate from 24 rides, elite for a conditional. Chris Gordon's yard is represented by two horses, and County Champs is clearly the stable's number one: better jockey booking, stronger market move, and the class drop. The recent 'P' last time out is a concern, but the 14-day turnaround and massive market support suggest connections are confident the form issues have been addressed.
Each-way alternative: Jefe Triunfo.
Main danger: Jefe Triunfo — Jefe Triunfo (SR:93, 4/1) is the highest-rated Gordon runner and has steamed 30% in the market — if Gordon's yard is confident in the stablemate rather than County Champs, that SR edge and market move could prove decisive.
⚖Case against4clamped▾
Pulled up last time out (Form: 2822-P) — a 'P' on a 14-day turnaround is a red flag; connections may be rushing a horse back before the underlying issue is resolved.
Jockey Fern O'Brien's 21% strike rate is from only 24 rides — a very small sample that may flatter; she has no recorded course/horse combination history here.
Stablemate Jefe Triunfo holds a higher SR (93 vs 86) and has also been backed in (30%), raising doubt that County Champs is genuinely the stable's number one runner.
Royal Rhythm (5/2) holds a superior SR of 89, recent winning form (-55P31), and is actually the market leader despite County Champs' move in — the true market leader argument is not clear-cut.
