Rockstown Girl showed a tidy run of form earlier in the season — third three starts back and third four starts back, with a second five starts back — and has run over today's trip, while our rating of 109 makes her a leading danger; the risk is that she arrives just one day after her last outing, and has been out of the frame in her two most recent starts.

SR 96 suggests ability but 11/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Fairlawn Skipper is the top-rated runner here and his recent form reads well, with a win two starts back and a second last time out; he has run over today's trip and going before, and 168 lb is the one potential query, but he is the one to beat.

SR 112 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Limerick Leader arrives in red-hot form, winning back-to-back heading into this, and he has experience of both today's trip and going conditions; the chief concern is a hefty 167 lb on his back.

SR 105 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Winless in her last five starts and pulled up two runs back, Moonlightinthepark does at least arrive here on a swift 12-day turnaround, and our rating of 98 suggests she is considerably better than her official mark of 87 — the chief concern is whether she can translate that latent ability into a finish.

Limerick Leader (SR 105, 7/4) brings the most compelling multi-signal case in this small field. The form string 233411 reads right-to-left as a horse that has won its last two starts, arriving in peak form at the same class (ClassMv:=) and off a manageable +4lb mark rise from last win. Critically, it holds Course:W1P1 at Kelso — proven course form at a track that rewards specialists — and DistFit:+ confirms genuine stamina for this 2m5f trip. At 1lb less than top-weight (11-13 vs 12-0 carried by both rivals), the weight edge is real. Trainer Nick Scholfield hits at 15% and conditional Freddie Keighley (5lb claim) at 12% provides further allowance — net weight advantage over Fairlawn Skipper is meaningful.
Each-way alternative: Fairlawn Skipper.
Main danger: Fairlawn Skipper — Fairlawn Skipper (SR 112, 15/8) carries the highest SR in the field and has DistFit:+ at this trip, and while the 12% drift is a concern, its raw ability edge could assert itself if Limerick Leader finds the back-to-back wins harder to replicate.
