10/3 11/2 3/1
Sondad arrives on the back of a win 22 days ago and has three wins in his last six starts, underlining a consistently productive recent record, and he has run over today's distance and going before; top-rated of 26 runners, he is the one to beat under 144 lb from stall seven.
AI verdict

SR 106 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

14/1 25/1 12/1
Dark Thirty arrives on the back of two unplaced efforts but does boast a win and a brace of runner-up finishes in recent starts, and with experience over today's trip and going, the 135 lb burden from stall 16 may prove the bigger obstacle to a revival.
AI verdict

SR 83 suggests ability but 20/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Tango Flare won three starts back and was second two starts back, giving him a solid recent profile, though he comes into this after an unplaced effort last time and a 57-day absence, with 133 lb from stall 26 adding to the ask.

Winless in his last six starts but a consistent placer, Coul Angel brings experience of today's trip and conditions and was third last time out; the 130 lb burden from stall 19 may test his resolution against stronger rivals here.
AI verdict

SR 98 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Keke won four starts back and has experience of today's trip and conditions, with 130 lb from stall one his only real query as he returns in good time on a mark of 95.
AI verdict

SR 95 suggests ability but 9/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

14/1 16/1 12/1
Unique Journey shaped with real promise when runner-up last time out, and his distance and going experience stands him in good stead at 130 lb from stall eight; the main concern is that 42 days off the track leaves his sharpness slightly in question.
AI verdict

SR 77 suggests ability but 20/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Toyotomi won three starts back and was third four starts back, so there is class in this profile, but a sixth and an unplaced run since then temper enthusiasm; he has run over today's trip and going, and 129 lb from stall 12 makes life no easier.
AI verdict

40/1 FCST 33/1
Winless in his last five starts, The Highway Rat is yet to score at this level, though a second in recent form offers a flicker of hope; he has run over today's trip and going before, but 128 lb from stall 20 adds to the challenge for a gelding who must find improvement.
AI verdict

SR 68 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 40/1.

Thunderbear brings strong claims here, rated 102 and running over a trip and going he has experience of, returning on a sharp eight-day turnaround that suggests connections have him primed; yet to score in his last five starts, and that elusive win remains the concern.
AI verdict

Ranked well down the field on our figures and carrying 126 lb from stall 10, Rosie Frith faces a stiff ask, though she does bring experience of today's trip and going and showed a winner's instinct last time out.
AI verdict

Won two starts back but only seventh last time out, and Strike Red's 126 lb burden from stall 13 gives the handicapper little reason to relent; has run over today's trip and going, though his recent inconsistency makes him a tricky proposition at best.
AI verdict

Headmaster has been out of the placings in his last two starts, though he showed better form earlier, winning four starts back and finishing second three starts back; experience over today's trip and going helps, but he faces a stiff task from stall 11 off 124 lb.

Dark Ace won last time out and has experience of today's trip and going, but two unplaced efforts before that run temper enthusiasm; carrying 123 lb from stall five, he holds claims without being an obvious banker.

Back-to-back wins give Bear On The Run a strong hand, and she has experience of today's distance and going, but a speed rating of 78 and a rank of 18 of 26 suggest she faces a stiff ask stepping up in class from stall 14.

Dmaniac won two of his last five starts, with a runner-up finish last time out, but 133 days off the track is a fitness query; he has run over today's trip and going before, and carries 122 lb from stall 24.

Ocean's Breath won two starts back but finished third last time out after a 71-day absence, and ranked 22nd of 26 on our figures he faces a stiff ask here, though he has run over today's trip and going and draws from stall two.

Winless in his last six starts, Sir Les Patterson at least brings distance and going experience to the table, and a third last time out hints at some residual ability; carrying 122 lb from stall 18, however, he faces a stiff ask here.
AI verdict

SR 71 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 22/1.

Beaten into fourth last time out after a win two starts back, Amiata has experience of today's trip and going, but ranked 21st of 26 on our figures at 121 lb from stall 22, he faces a stiff task against stronger-rated rivals despite his recent winning thread.

Chicago Pope won two starts back and was a runner-up three starts back, giving him a lively recent profile, though a fourth last time out after 92 days off raises a fitness query; he has run over today's trip and going, and 120 lb from stall four is the burden to overcome.

Staysound Susie was a winner two starts back, but has since disappointed with a sixth last time out after 139 days off, and that layoff is the key unknown; she has run over today's trip and going before, though 120 lb from stall 15 adds further questions.

Red Evolution won last time out and has experience of today's distance and going, which gives him solid claims, but 41 days off adds a fitness query and stall 23 at 119 lb against a deep field of 26 makes life harder.

Genesis has placed twice in his last three starts, including a second two starts back, but that sixth three starts back reflects a patchy profile, and ranked 23 of 26 on our figures he faces a stiff task from stall 25 off 119 lb.

Ranked near the foot of the field on our figures, Sommelier has been unplaced in three straight starts and faces a stiff task, though he does have experience over today's trip and going, and that sole win in his last six starts shows he can get his head in front.

Winless in his last six starts and ranked 24th of 26 on our figures, I Bid You Ajou looks a tough sell here despite the experience over today's trip and going, and a second two starts back at least shows he can get competitive.

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures and well beaten in two of his last three starts, Lohoobb is hard to fancy despite a win two starts back; he has run over today's trip and going before, but the overall profile makes him a very tough sell from stall 17 off 119 lb.

Ranked 19 of 26 on our figures, The Piper's Call is hard to fancy off a below-par trainer strike-rate of 5% in the last 14 days and a fifth last time out, though a return to today's distance and going offers some small comfort after his win two starts back.

Sondad
Confidence: Speculative

Sondad (SR:106, 4/1) is the clear SR leader in a 26-runner field where the next best sits at SR:98, and that ability edge is backed by a striking 43% market move in — the strongest steamer in the field by a wide margin, signalling serious informed money. The visor headgear is a positive intervention on a horse whose form string of 019171 shows a lively recent win, and DistFit:+ confirms the 6f trip is well within his compass. The weight of 10-4 is the heaviest burden in the field, which is the chief concern, but in a sprint handicap on good ground the SR:106 advantage and the market confidence at 4/1 outweigh that penalty against a field of modest rivals. Each-way alternative: Bear On The Run. Main danger: Coul Angel — Coul Angel (SR:98, 5/1) has a light weight of 9-4, a 7% market move in, Tom Marquand booked, and although MarkMv:+11 is a concern the consistent 262623 form line suggests a horse running near its ceiling and ready to capitalise if Sondad's top-weight tells against him in the closing stages.

  • Form string 019171 includes a '0' (last or near-last finish) just two runs ago, suggesting inconsistency; the visor is new headgear, which is a risk factor as much as a positive — first-time visors c…
  • Coul Angel (SR:98, 5/1) is only 8lb below Sondad in SR terms but carries 10lb less weight at 9-4 with Tom Marquand aboard (16% strike rate) and has a reliable recent form string of 262623 — the handi…
  • Joanna Mason's 12% trainer strike rate is modest and the Easterby yard's 10% figure in this context is unremarkable; a 43% market move in a 26-runner sprint can reflect place-market activity or ante-…
