Consistent performer who has finished second in four of his last five starts, An Bradan Feasa brings strong recent form into this and our rating puts him narrowly top of this field; winless in that spell, but his level of form makes him the one to beat here.
AI verdict

SR 81 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

No More Bolero shaped with promise when second three starts back and went one better to score four starts back, and he returns on an 11-day turnaround well-suited by today's distance and going; the risk is that his last two runs have both been sixth-place finishes.
AI verdict

SR 79 suggests ability but 5/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Digger One showed back-to-back wins in his last two starts and returns on a quick turnaround of just 13 days, but his weight of 141 lb is a significant ask, and our rating of 70 leaves him with something to find against the top-ranked runners.

Port George bounced back to winning form last time out and has previous experience of today's going, with our rating of 77 marking him as a strong danger; the main concern is the 55-day absence since that victory.

SR 74 suggests ability but 7/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Merrijig shaped well when third two starts back and second three starts back, and he has experience over today's trip and going; the risk is that his most recent effort was a sixth and he remains yet to win in his last five starts.
AI verdict

SR 67 suggests ability but 9/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

33/1 18/1 33/1
Ranked bottom of the field on our figures with a speed rating of just 53, Pfingstberg faces a stiff ask, and a fifth last time out does little to inspire confidence; he does carry fitness into this having run 18 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going before, but the burden of 130 lb compounds the task.

SR 43 suggests ability but 33/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked sixth of seven on our figures, Punxsutawney Phil is a hard one to fancy, though he has run over today's distance and going before and returns on a reasonable 18-day break; the third last time out is the one crumb of comfort.
AI verdict

SR 55 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

An Bradan Feasa
Confidence: Speculative

An Bradan Feasa (SR 81, 3/1) is the highest-rated horse in the field and has steamed in 26% in the market — the most significant move of any runner — suggesting informed confidence. The form string 22224 shows consistent placed form and a drop in class (↓1) gives a real competitive edge over this Class 5 field. Crucially, both DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm this horse is proven at 2m1f on good ground, the two most specific fit-checks in the data. The 10-2 weight is manageable given the SR superiority and class drop. Each-way alternative: Digger One. Main danger: Digger One — Digger One (SR 74, 15/8) is the market favourite and although it has drifted 21%, recent form 94811 includes two consecutive wins and it is the youngest horse in the field at age 5 with obvious scope — if the DistFit:? at this longer trip is no issue, it has the ability to win.

Case against 4 clamped
  • Form string -22224 shows four consecutive runner-up finishes without converting — a pattern of not winning that raises genuine doubts about the horse's ability to close out races when it matters.
  • Jockey Jake Dickson has a modest 13% strike rate from only 219 rides and trainer Jack Jones hits just 11% — neither combination inspires confidence in a race where execution is critical.
  • Digger One is the market favourite at 15/8 despite drifting slightly, boasts a form string ending 11 (back-to-back wins), and carries 1lb less — a horse in winning form at shorter odds is a material…
  • The 26% market move looks impressive but Mark Movement is only +3, suggesting the steam may be early-week noise rather than late, informed money; No More Bolero's -28 drift could indicate market inte…
