Tamarind Bay is in fine nick, winning each of his last three completed starts and scoring last time out, while he has run over today's trip and going before — the 164 lb burden is the one thing to overcome.

SR 130 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Third on two occasions in recent starts, The Last Cloud arrives here 40 days fresh and has experience of today's going, with our rating putting him squarely in contention; the worry is a pulled-up run lurking in his recent record, and he remains yet to win in his last five.

SR 120 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Spectacularsunrise shaped as the top-rated runner here and has going experience to call on, but three consecutive finishes outside the placings in recent starts are a concern, and 160 days off the track makes his return the key question.

SR 128 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Walking On A Dream won two starts back but was beaten into eighth three starts back, and 155 days off the track is a significant fitness concern; he has run over today's distance and going, though at 145 lb he faces a stiff task ranked fifth of six on our figures.

Favourable weight of 10-5 gives a real edge in this handicap.
Winless in his last five starts and ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Sleedagh has been off the track for 153 days and carries 145 lb, making him hard to fancy despite showing consistent placed form and experience over today's distance and going.

Placed third two starts back and second three starts back, Scalpnagoon brings solid recent consistency to this contest, and with experience over today's trip and going plus our rating of 122 lending strong claims, he rates a serious danger — the risk is that he remains yet to win in his last six starts.

Spectacularsunrise (SR:128, 5/2) has steamed in 37% from its opening price — the most significant market move in the race — and carries a manageable 10-12, giving it a meaningful weight advantage over top-weighted Tamarind Bay (11-10). The SR of 128 is second only to Tamarind Bay's 130 but the 12lb weight concession from the top-weight largely neutralises that gap. The Twiston-Davies yard may have a modest overall strike rate but Sam Twiston-Davies riding at 17% career record and the sharp market support suggest connections are confident on what is likely a first chase run at this trip (DistFit:? noted). The 5/2 price underestimates a horse the market has aggressively backed.
Each-way alternative: The Last Cloud.
Main danger: The Last Cloud — The Last Cloud (SR:120, 9/4) has steamed in 24%, boasts an outstanding Course:W3P3 record at Perth which is a specialist track, goes on the going (GoingFit:+), drops in class (ClassMv:↓1), and has Brian Hughes — the most experienced jockey in the field at 19%/947 runners — in the saddle, all of which make it the most obvious threat to the selection.
⚖Case against4clamped▾
Form reads 12696- with the dash indicating a likely fall/unseated last time — a jumping error at a crucial point raises serious questions about reliability over fences today.
DistFit marked '?' suggests this trip is unproven for Spectacularsunrise; stepping up in distance without a confirmed fitness profile at this range is a tangible risk.
Trainer Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies strike rate of only 10% from 233 runners is materially weak — the yard is cold and market confidence in the jockey cannot fully offset a struggling stable.
The Last Cloud (9/4) holds a stronger market position overall, has course form (W3P3) and a superior jockey/trainer combo strike rate, suggesting the 5/2 'value' narrative for Spectacularsunrise may…
