Oman shaped with promise when winning five starts back, and his experience over today's trip and going leaves him with claims off a mark of 70; the concern is three consecutive out-of-the-frame efforts in his latest starts.

SR 60 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 17/2.
West Tyrone bounced back to winning form last time out and has run over today's trip and going, making conditions familiar; carrying 140 lb from stall two, he looks fit enough after 32 days off and his overall profile marks him out as the one to follow here.

SR 68 suggests ability but 9/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Chilly Breeze has placed in each of his last two starts but remains yet to win in his last five, and a struggling trainer firing at just 4% adds caution, though the 39-day break and experience over today's trip give him something to build on.

Study Up won three starts back and was a close second two starts back, showing consistent ability at this level, and he has experience over today's trip and going; the main risk is a return from 87 days off carrying 138 lb.

Zambezi Magic has experience of today's trip and conditions, but two finishes outside the first five in recent starts make him hard to fancy from stall six, and he ranks ninth of eleven on our figures despite that win last time out.

Consistent without being a winner, Meet Me In Meraki has finished second twice in his last four starts but is yet to score, and that tendency to find one too good remains the concern; he has run over today's trip and going, and 133 lb from stall four after just 11 days is a workable ask.

SR 69 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Mayflower Billy shaped well on his most recent start with a third, and a second four starts back underlines his each-way claims; he has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 72 marks him as a leading threat, though he remains winless in recent starts and the top weight of 133 lb from stall 10 is the main concern.

Condotti has been consistently competitive in recent starts — second two runs back and third three runs back — though he is yet to win in his last five outings, and a fifth last time out after 38 days off may suggest he needed that run; has experience over today's trip and going, but 131 lb is a stern ask.

Ranked bottom two on our figures and rated below the official mark, Lc Tiffen faces a stiff task, though she has distance and going experience to call on and a win two starts back at least confirms she can find the winner's enclosure.

Winless in his last six starts and ranked bottom of this field on our figures, Risk Averse Rebel faces a stiff task; eighth last time out does little to inspire confidence, though he has run over today's distance and going before and 25 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh.

Meet Me In Meraki holds the joint-highest SR in the field (69) alongside West Tyrone (68), but crucially carries the lightest competitive weight at 9-7 versus West Tyrone's 10-0 — a 7lb weight advantage that is substantial on good to soft ground over 1m2f70y. The 23% market shortening is the strongest steam in the field bar none and confirms professional money is backing the case. GoingFit:+ confirms this horse has a proven record on similar ground, and a MarkMv:-4 means it is running off a mark 4lb below its last winning mark — a clear handicapper's gift. Trainer David Evans (13%) and jockey Finley Marsh (14%) are solid connections for a mid-week Class 5 target.
Each-way alternative: West Tyrone.
Main danger: West Tyrone — West Tyrone (SR:68, 9/2) matches Meet Me In Meraki on ability rating, has a proven DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ combination that is the strongest course-and-conditions profile in the race, and the 11% market shortening confirms stable confidence despite the class rise.

Form reads 873252 — no win in last 6 starts, most recently finishing 2nd twice but never converting; a horse that repeatedly gets beaten at the death is a concern at odds of 11/4.

Trainer David Evans at 13% and jockey Finley Marsh at 14% are modest strike rates for a horse sent off favourite — the market steam looks impressive but connections do not have an elite conversion ra…
No Course Win flag present despite the horse being 5 years old — at a specialist track like Chester where course form is particularly predictive, the absence of a course win is a concrete negative.
