17/2 10/1 17/2
Journey So Far arrives on the back of a win two starts back and our rating of 106 ranks him second in a field of 22, making him a serious threat at 168 lb over a trip he has tackled before; the main concern is a struggling trainer who has saddled just one winner from 36 runners in the last fortnight.
AI verdict

SR 86 suggests ability but 17/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Third last time out, and eighth two starts back, L'As de Watt heads this 22-runner field as the top-rated horse on 108 and arrives fresh at 17 days since his last run, with experience of today's going an additional plus; winless in his last five starts, he needs to convert.
AI verdict

SR 70 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

33/1 28/1 33/1
Midleton Rare won four starts back but has pulled up since and was unplaced last time, leaving his recent form patchy; he has run over today's trip and going, and 46 days off means fitness is a query, though 167 lb is manageable at a rating of 99.

Drumconnor Hill arrives here 31 days after his latest run and winless in his last five starts, though a second five starts back shows he can mix it with this grade; carrying 165 lb on an official mark of 97 makes life harder, and he'll need to improve on recent efforts to factor.

Winning back-to-back heading into this, Strong Contender brings solid recent momentum, though her ranking of 14th in the field and a hefty 162 lb to carry are real checks on enthusiasm; she has run over today's trip before and 19 days since her last win looks a fresh enough turnaround.
AI verdict

SR 87 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Hey Babbs shaped with some promise when third last time out, but the pulled-up efforts in recent starts are hard to ignore, and 142 days off the track adds a fitness question; she has going experience to call upon, though 161 lb is a stiff ask for a mare yet to win in recent starts.

Grace Faraday has distance and going experience in her favour, and a win in her last five starts shows she can find the winning post, but an unseated rider latest and 108 days off the track are obvious questions to answer at 158 lb.

The Vegas Raider has experience of today's trip and conditions in his favour, but a troubled recent spell — falling and unseating in his last five starts alongside two unplaced efforts — leaves plenty to prove, and 156 lb is a stiff enough burden for a horse yet to win in recent starts.

Winless in her last five starts, Poetic Focus at least brings a place last time out and distance experience to the table, though her ranking of 11th of 22 on our rating suggests she faces a stern test under 155 lb despite a trainer firing at 30% in the past fortnight.

Agent Tequila arrives after a 174-day absence and is yet to score in his last four starts, including a pull-up most recently, which are obvious concerns; however, he carries a manageable 152 lb and our rating of 86 suggests he holds a shade more ability than his official mark of 84 implies.

Winless in her last six starts, Love Like This does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, and a run just seven days ago keeps her fit; however, a seventh last time out and 151 lb on her back make progress hard to foresee.

Winless in his last four starts, including two pulls up, Simpletwistoffaith arrives on a short turnaround carrying 152 lb, yet his distance and going experience and a rating of 98 rank him fourth of 22, making him a serious threat — though that troubled recent record remains the chief concern.
