Havanagreattime has been out of the frame in his last five starts, but he's fresh from a run 13 days ago and has tackled today's trip and going before, while our rating of 77 sits second of 15 and sits well above his official 70. Carrying 138 lb from stall 13, he's a selection on profile rather than recent results.

SR 45 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 40/1.
Our top-rated runner at 79 against an official mark of 70, Bright has run over today's trip and going before and is drawn four, so there's a case for a bounce. The risk is form figures of unplaced, seventh and eighth in recent starts, plus 47 days off.

Spirit of Applause arrives in decent shape, having finished second three and four starts back, with a fourth and a fifth since, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 76 sits well above his official 68, but he is yet to win in his last six starts, and that's the main risk.

Royal Accord was third last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but he's winless in his last five and was beaten in the two runs before that, a seventh and a ninth. Off 135 lb from draw 11 after 36 days off, he looks a mid-pack type.

Tiriac arrives fresh from a run 18 days ago and has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 76 ranks him third of 15 and sits well above his official 66. The risk is a winless run in his last six, with finishes of fifth and sixth offering little conviction.

Spirit of Applause owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. The Balanced lens likes the blend of SR strength (43) and market confidence (82). The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.

Even weighting across form, market confidence and race-day volatility.
Thunderous Love (SR:74, 6/1) combines the strongest course record in the field (Course:W2P5 at Nottingham — a genuine track specialist), a significant market move of +37% inward, a drop of 8lb off last win (MarkMv:-8 is a real handicapper's gift), and a consistent recent form string of 692294 showing the horse is competitive at this level. Weight of 9-4 gives a meaningful advantage over Spirit of Applause and Ingleby Archie at 9-10. The cheekpieces (HG:p) add a small edge and trainer Portman hits at 13% strike rate. The moderate distance and going figures (both ~) are a mild concern but the course expertise on a track where he has won twice overrides that.
Each-way alternative: Melissa Honey.
Main danger: Melissa Honey — Melissa Honey (SR:75, 6/1) has the highest SR in the field, carries the lightest weight at 9-0, shows a devastating form string of 121312 — in-and-out consistent — and has course form (W1P1); the class rise (ClassMv:↑1) is the only caveat but the pound advantage over everything else could be decisive.
