9/1 9/1 15/2
Molto Amichi won two starts back and was placed three starts back, showing he retains the ability to mix it at this level; he has experience of today's trip and conditions, and 24 days off looks a fresh enough return — the main concern is that ninth last time out.
AI verdict

SR 68 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Follow Me has shown consistent placing ability, finishing third in each of his last two starts, and has run over today's distance and going — the main concern is that he remains yet to win in his last five starts, leaving questions over whether he can convert.

Frank Pickle showed he can win, scoring three starts back, but a seventh last time out and eighth two starts back highlight the inconsistency he brings to this contest; experience over today's trip and going helps, though 136 lb from stall 16 is no easy ask.

Spodo Komodo landed a win in his last five starts but has been unplaced in two subsequent runs, and that inconsistency is the concern; he has experience over today's trip and going, and a fitness edge at 28 days fresh, though 135 lb is no gimme.
AI verdict

SR 53 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 22/1.

Beaten a long way on our figures and ranked near the foot of the field, Amenita's return from a 48-day absence makes her hard to fancy, though a win two starts back and experience over today's trip offer slim encouragement.
AI verdict

SR 50 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 22/1.

A lengthy break of 94 days and a seventh last time out make Flash Of Fire hard to fancy, ranked 12 of 16 on our figures; she does hold a win four starts back and has run over today's trip and going, but those are slim positives against her current profile.

Heliogabalus has won once in his last five starts but sits well down the rankings on our figures, and a run of two unplaced efforts in his last four — including last time out, 49 days ago — makes him difficult to fancy, despite experience over today's trip and going.

Motta Alta shaped well on her last two starts, finishing a winner two starts back and third last time out, and she has experience of both today's trip and the prevailing conditions. Carrying 132 lb after 50 days off is the one query.
AI verdict

SR 83 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in his last six starts, No More Porter did at least post a third three starts back, though fourth last time out and a quick five-day turnaround may stretch connections' patience; experience over today's trip and going offers some grounding, but 132 lb is a stiff burden.

Sagasti won last time out but that victory sits against a patchy recent profile — unplaced efforts punctuate her last six starts — and ranked 13 of 16 on our figures she faces a stiff ask at 132 lb from stall 9, making her hard to fancy despite the distance and going experience.

Winless in his last six starts but a consistent placer, Zaraahmando brings distance and going experience to this assignment and ran second two starts back, though carrying 132 lb from stall 10 on a rating of 72 gives him plenty to do in a 16-runner field.

Pillar Of Hope has run over today's trip and going before, yet he remains winless in his last six starts, with a fourth last time out his best recent effort; 45 days off may have freshened him, though an official mark of 71 suggests he faces a stiff ask from stall one carrying 131 lb.

Duke Of Leggagh has run over today's trip and going, and his 127 lb burden is no help to a gelding winless in his last five starts, though the yard's 28-day turnaround suggests he arrives fit and our rating of 78 offers a sliver of hope.

Sonoran comes here just 13 days after winning last time out, making him the freshest and most in-form horse in this field on recent evidence, and he has experience of today's trip and conditions; the 143 lb burden is the one query.

Zaraahmando
Confidence: Speculative

Zaraahmando (SR:79, 9/2) is the strongest market mover in the field with a 22% market shortening — the most significant steaming of any runner — which carries real informational weight in a 16-runner handicap like this. Carrying 9-6, a favourable weight compared to top-weight Sonoran's 10-3, and with a GoingFit:~ on good ground, the yard has clearly targeted this race. The form string 623324 shows consistent placing without winning recently, which is exactly the profile of a horse running off a workable mark (MarkMv:+4, not punitive) that the market is backing to finally convert. Trainer A. Slattery at 11% strike rate with jockey Andrew Slattery (9%, 915 runners) is a tight connections combo, and the tongue-tie first application (HG:t) adds a legitimate physical improvement angle that often accompanies market support of this magnitude. Each-way alternative: Motta Alta. Main danger: Motta Alta — Motta Alta (SR:83, 9/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field under Mrs J. Harrington (10%, 1576 runners) with Shane Foley aboard (11%, 1738 runners), and despite the drift (Mkt:out13%), the raw SR advantage of 4 points over Zaraahmando carried on a light 9-6 makes it the most credible form threat if the drift is simply positional rather than a genuine negative signal.
