131

9-2

33/1 25/1 33/1

Scored by three and a half lengths on debut at Bath over today's trip on firm ground, so conditions suit, and Oisin Murphy takes the ride with more improvement expected — but ranked 22nd of 25 on our figures, making this a lightly raced runner who needs to find a good deal more to figure here.

AI verdict

Long odds of 25/1 and a single form figure undermine confidence despite a Saturday Rating of 131.

Bated Benevolence

Marco Botti 16%

131

9-2

40/1 FCST 33/1

Debut winner at Nottingham — asserting late over 1½ lengths on good ground at 6f — but ranked 23rd of 25 on our figures, and stepping up markedly in class here means considerable further progress is required to trouble these.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 131 and winning form are undermined by 33/1 odds suggesting the market holds little confidence.

Blue Sign

Age 2 · 9-2

Kevin Stott 15%

Ismail Mohammed & Jose Santos 3%

—

127

9-2

150/1 FCST 125/1

Lightly raced and yet to win, Blue Sign showed fair debut promise when finishing fourth at Lingfield, and has course-going experience to call on, but drawn 12 and ranked last on our figures, this 5f performer on good to firm looks firmly up against it.

AI verdict

Extreme 125/1 odds and a single run form figure of 4 signal minimal winning prospects despite a 127 Saturday Rating.

Crazy Cubana

Age 2 · 9-2

Kieran Shoemark 14%

Ed Walker 16%

—

132

9-2

50/1 40/1 50/1

Finished strongly to win a novice at Nottingham on debut 41 days ago, showing ability at today's trip on good ground — but improvement is very much required stepping up into this grade, and a ranking of 20th of 25 on our figures makes it hard to fancy.

AI verdict

Decent Saturday Rating of 132 and winning form offset by long 40/1 odds suggesting weak market confidence.

Dark Issue

Age 2 · 9-2

Pat Dobbs 14%

Richard Hannon 12%

—

145

9-2

14/1

Decisive on debut, taking a Goodwood maiden by five-and-a-half lengths on good ground over today's trip 27 days ago, and the quality of the yard demands respect — though stepping straight from a single run into a field of 25 from stall 7 off 128 lb is the unknown.

AI verdict

Sole win in form offers promise, but 14/1 odds and 145 Saturday Rating suggest limited market confidence at 9-2 weight.

Dee's Funny Girl

Age 2 · 9-2

Dylan Browne McMonagle 17%

Michael Keady 6%

—

132

9-2

50/1 40/1 50/1

Won on debut at Thirsk, pulling clear late over a trip she handles, but stepping up to this level asks more questions — and while 6f looks likely to bring further improvement, that potential is untested at this grade.

AI verdict

Winning form and a solid 132 Saturday Rating earn merit, but 40/1 odds and heavy weight signal market skepticism.

Desert Sands

Age 2 · 9-2

Hector Crouch 18%

Ismail Mohammed & Jose Santos 3%

—

127

9-2

150/1 125/1 150/1

Beaten seven lengths on debut at Newbury 18 days ago, Desert Sands showed a degree of promise but looks out of her depth in this company — stall 24 in a large field, winless, and ranked 21 of 25 on our figures.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 127 is undermined by 125/1 odds, 9-2 weight, and a single-run form figure of 6.

Dubai Charm

Age 2 · 9-2

Neil Callan 14%

Richard Hughes 15%

—

131

9-2

125/1

Yet to score in two recent starts, Dubai Charm lines up from stall 21 carrying 128 lb, ranked 24th of 25 on our figures. The form — a six-length third last time — suggests meaningful improvement is needed here, though course-and-distance experience and proven going conditions offer slim consolation.

AI verdict

Outsider at 125/1 with solid form figures of 23 and a Saturday Rating of 131 justify a modest 3-star rating.

Glamorize

Age 2 · 9-2

Mickael Barzalona 25%

George Scott 20%

—

129

9-2

66/1 33/1 66/1

Ran second on debut at Lingfield, beaten four-and-a-quarter lengths, so there's a foundation to build on — yet to win and a significant step forward is required stepping up to 6f, though the in-form yard and experience on today's going offer some encouragement from stall 22.

AI verdict

Decent Saturday Rating of 129 is undermined by 50/1 odds and a single form figure offering limited evidence.

Hidden Gift

Age 2 · 9-2

James McDonald 21%

Richard & Peter Fahey 10%

—

130

9-2

25/1 22/1 25/1

Beaten just half a length on its only recent outing at Ripon, Hidden Gift clearly has ability despite being yet to win, and the step up to 6f looks a natural fit — drawing stall 19 carrying 128 lb, it could outrun its odds at a price.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 130 and single-figure form figure at 25/1 odds suggest limited winning potential here.

Jolivette

Age 2 · 9-2

Colin Keane 16%

Andrew Balding 18%

—

150

9-2

8/1 10/1 8/1

Promising on debut, winning narrowly at Newmarket on first start, and connections boast a strong record at this track; the step up in class and competition is the obvious question mark, but she handles today's trip and going, and her rating of 110 makes her one to respect.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 150 and perfect form figure back a 10/1 market outsider carrying 9-2.

King's Prize

Age 2 · 9-2

Rossa Ryan 18%

Ralph Beckett 19%

—

145

9-2

18/1 14/1 18/1

Lightly raced but promising, King's Prize won with plenty in reserve on debut and should appreciate this stiff 6f on good ground; the 54-day absence is a minor query from stall 13, though top connections expect further improvement.

AI verdict

Winning form boosts King's Prize to 3/5, but 14/1 odds and 145 Saturday Rating suggest limited market confidence.

Kochella

Age 2 · 9-2

Silvestre De Sousa 14%

Henry Dwyer 25%

—

129

9-2

125/1 100/1 125/1

Shaped with real promise on debut when just denied at Pontefract 17 days ago, fading only late to finish a close third — encouragingly fresh and handles today's trip. Yet to win, and stepping into a field of 25 from stall 2 makes this a stiff task despite likely improvement to come.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 100/1 and single-figure form entry limit confidence despite a competitive Saturday Rating of 129.

Libertango

Age 2 · 9-2

Billy Loughnane 18%

George Boughey 18%

—

152

9-2

9/1 17/2 9/1

Impressive on debut at Leicester, winning a maiden with plenty to spare over today's trip and going, Libertango arrives here 24 days later in fine trim for top connections; the step up in grade is the key test from stall 3 in this 25-runner field.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 152 with a perfect form figure of 1 justifies 4 stars despite 17/2 odds suggesting market underestimation.

Light Of Dawn

Age 2 · 9-2

James Doyle 21%

K. R. Burke 20%

—

154

9-2

6/1 13/2 6/1

Burst onto the scene at Carlisle 11 days ago, winning on debut with plenty held back under a gentle ride — the step to better ground here suits, and experience over the trip is a positive, though stall 23 in a field of 25 gives pause for thought.

AI verdict

Modest 7/1 odds and a single form figure of 1 limit confidence despite a competitive 154 Saturday Rating.

Love Is

Age 2 · 9-2

Finley Marsh 14%

Richard Hughes 15%

—

134

9-2

40/1 28/1 40/1

Ran second last time on debut at Goodwood, then went one better to open her account, so the form trajectory is encouraging; acts on today's conditions over the trip, but stepping up in class means more will be needed here.

AI verdict

Decent form (12) and solid Saturday Rating (134) are undermined by 28/1 odds and 9-2 weight suggesting market scepticism.

Magnesium

Age 2 · 9-2

Ray Dawson 14%

John Butler 13%

—

132

9-2

150/1 125/1 150/1

Improved markedly after a debut seventh to land a Kempton novice over course-and-distance last time out, and the 30-day turnaround looks fine, but stepping up to this level from a 3/4-length novice win leaves Magnesium with plenty to prove from stall 16 carrying 128 lb.

AI verdict

Massive 125/1 odds and poor form figures of 71 undermine Magnesium's competitive Saturday Rating of 132.

Ron's Angel

Age 2 · 9-2

Luke Morris 12%

John Butler 13%

—

135

9-2

80/1

Showed a determined attitude to land a Lingfield maiden last time by a short margin, and handles today's trip on this surface, but stepping up into Group 3 company is a significantly tougher ask for a horse whose debut level still needs proving at this grade.

AI verdict

Modest 135 Saturday Rating and 80/1 odds undermine her promising 21 form, limiting confidence despite solid weight.

Roxelina

Age 2 · 9-2

Clifford Lee 17%

Kevin Philippart de Foy 16%

—

129

9-2

66/1 FCST 50/1

Plenty to like about Roxelana's debut third at Windsor — beaten just 2l — and with good connections expecting improvement, the step forward looks there for the taking; yet to win, stall 25 in a 25-runner field, and 128lb demand patience.

AI verdict

Long-shot odds of 50/1 and a single form figure of 3 undermine confidence despite a Saturday Rating of 129.

Silent Beauty

Age 2 · 9-2

David Egan 14%

Kevin Philippart de Foy 16%

—

155

9-2

13/2 6/1 13/2

Bolted up by four lengths on debut at Yarmouth, suggesting plenty more to come, and the step back to 6f on good-to-soft ground plays to her strengths; the key question is whether that single run leaves her vulnerable to more seasoned rivals.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 155 and perfect form of 1 justify 4 stars despite 6/1 odds and non-favourite market position.

Sun Goddess

Age 2 · 9-2

Ryan Moore 24%

Aidan O'Brien 22%

—

160

9-2

6/5 11/10 6/5

Sun Goddess arrives here in fine fettle — winning a Curragh maiden by five lengths last time despite early interference showed real class — and with Ballydoyle's juveniles in top form this week and a top course jockey aboard, she looks the one to beat over this stiff six furlongs.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 160, competitive 6/5 odds, and consistent 21 form justify four stars despite not heading the market.

Tall Trees

Age 2 · 9-2

Charles Bishop 10%

Brian Meehan 9%

—

127

9-2

66/1 80/1 66/1

Fifth on debut at Newbury — beaten four lengths when the race clicked late — Tall Trees is yet to win but showed enough greenness-masking ability to suggest improvement is likely; acts on today's ground and trip, and 18 days on should sharpen the mind.

AI verdict

Tall Trees rates 3/5 despite 80/1 odds and single-run form showing only a fifth place finish.

Topaz

Age 2 · 9-2

Tom Marquand 16%

Jack Channon 14%

—

132

9-2

20/1 18/1 20/1

Beaten a neck on debut at Newmarket, Topaz shapes as one with clear upside from stall 15, and today's trip at this distance suits — yet to win and remains unexposed, so the 128 lb burden is the main question mark against further improvement.

AI verdict

Long odds of 22/1 and a single form figure of 2 suggest insufficient evidence to trust Topaz at 9-2 weight.

Valentina Bella

Age 2 · 9-2

C. Soumillon 16%

M Brasme 8%

—

137

9-2

28/1 20/1 28/1

Consecutive wins, the latest a Listed success at Vichy, mark Valentina Bella as a serious contender here, and stepping up to 6f from stall 1 in this 25-runner field should pose no issues; the main concern is whether the ground proves quicker than ideal.

AI verdict

Unbeaten form (11) boosts her rating to 137, but 28/1 odds suggest the market lacks confidence despite her perfect record.

What A Girl Wants

Age 2 · 9-2

322

Rowan Scott 11%

Kevin Philippart de Foy 16%

—

129

9-2

66/1 40/1 66/1

Twice runner-up and Listed-placed, What A Girl Wants clearly has ability, but remains yet to win and ranks 18th of 25 on our figures. Stall 14 carrying 128 lb, the smart filly faces a stiff task here despite proven effectiveness over today's trip.

AI verdict

Decent form of 322 and a Saturday Rating of 129 justify mid-tier appeal, but 50/1 odds signal clear market dismissal.

11-632

Ryan Moore 24%

Aidan O'Brien 22%

107

112

9-2

6/1 11/2 6/1

Went agonisingly close when a neck away in Listed company at Newbury last time, and with a top course jockey aboard and more to offer, Albert Einstein shapes as a serious threat here; the worry is whether that consistent recent form can be converted into the win column.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 112 and consistent form of 11-632 are offset by 9-2 weight and 11/2 odds suggesting market doubt.

Aspect Island

Age 3 · 9-2

33-730

Cieren Fallon 18%

James Owen 18%

106

9-2

40/1 33/1 28/1

Winless in its last five starts, Aspect Island steps back up to 6f in a first-time visor, and there's a case it wasn't entirely seen to best effect when beaten five lengths in a Group 1 here last time — yet stepping up in class looks the chief obstacle despite proven versatility over the trip.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 40/1, a modest Saturday Rating of 84, and uninspiring form figures of 33-730 make Aspect Island an unlikely contender.

Brussels

Age 3 · 9-2

222-64

R. P. Whelan 9%

Aidan O'Brien 22%

105

9-2

50/1

Cheekpieces applied for the first time as Brussels, yet to win in his last five starts, returns 27 days on from a beaten fourth in the Sandy Lane Group 2 — a performance that mirrored his three-year-old debut. Handles today's trip and conditions, but whether he can rediscover the level he showed as a juvenile remains the question.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 86 and 66/1 odds reflect Brussels' inconsistent form of 222-64 making him a long-shot outsider.

Charles Darwin

W. M. Lordan 16%

Aidan O'Brien 22%

112

9-2

11/1 12/1 11/1

Consistent winner of four of his last five starts, Charles Darwin arrives in fine fettle and is well-suited by today's trip and conditions — blinkers added for the first time could sharpen him up after a flat reappearance. The worry is whether that nine-length defeat still lingers.

AI verdict

Form dip to 8th last time and 12/1 odds suggest the market lacks confidence despite his earlier winning sequence.

Coppull

Age 3 · 9-2

3153-1

Rossa Ryan 18%

Clive Cox 17%

110

112

9-2

10/1 11/1 10/1

Placed in the Middle Park and a neck winner of the Commonwealth Cup Trial on this course last time out, Coppull clearly handles today's conditions and trip well — though 49 days off the track and a mark of 110 leave questions about whether he returns to that peak.

AI verdict

Coppull's 112 Saturday Rating and 12/1 odds place him well outside the market leaders despite decent form showing a recent win.

Division

115-32

James Doyle 21%

William Haggas 23%

109

110

9-2

10/1 11/1 10/1

Beaten three lengths when runner-up in a Group 2 last time, Division arrives fit and proven over course and distance from stall 3 in this field of 22, but a tall, powerfully built colt who likely needs further to fulfil his potential may find this trip just sharp enough.

AI verdict

Solid 110 Saturday Rating and consistent form (115-32) are offset by 11/1 odds indicating limited market confidence.

Havana Hurricane

Age 3 · 9-2

2346-3

Charles Bishop 10%

Eve Johnson Houghton 13%

101

9-2

40/1 33/1 40/1

Consistent performer that ran to form on return from a break with a third in the Carnarvon Stakes at Newbury 34 days ago, showing it handles the trip and conditions. Yet to win in its last five starts, though, and may need more to trouble the market leaders from stall 10.

AI verdict

Outsider at 33/1 with a Saturday Rating of 82 and inconsistent form of 2346-3 limits appeal significantly.

107

9-2

50/1 FCST 40/1

Consistent profile – four wins in last five starts including a narrow Group 3 success at Chantilly – but our figures rank this well down the field, and that French form will need a significant step forward to trouble today's rivals.

AI verdict

Long odds of 40/1 and a Saturday Rating of 93 suggest the market has little confidence despite strong recent form of 21-111.

Northern Champion

Age 3 · 9-2

59-110

Jamie Spencer 12%

Ed Walker 16%

104

9-2

50/1 80/1 33/1

Beaten eight lengths in a Group 1 last time, Northern Champion heads into this ranked well down our assessments and faces a stiff ask stepping back out after 83 days; the two wins earlier in Dubai show there is ability here, but a bounce-back is needed against stronger company.

AI verdict

An 80/1 outsider with a Saturday Rating of 89 and inconsistent form (59-110) offers minimal winning prospects at 9-2.

David Egan 14%

Wesley A Ward 17%

108

100

9-2

20/1 18/1 20/1

Tongue tie applied for the first time and 41 days between runs raise questions, and at 128lb from stall 21 this needs to defy our figures as a 19th-ranked runner — though genuine pace and back-to-back wins suggest it's not without ability at this trip on fast ground.

AI verdict

Long odds of 20/1 and a Saturday Rating of 100 reflect limited market confidence despite recent form showing back-to-back wins.

Rock On Thunder

9226-6

Kevin Stott 15%

Kevin Ryan 12%

109

9-2

100/1 40/1 100/1

Cheekpieces fitted for the first time as Rock On Thunder attempts to reverse two below-par sixth-place finishes, yet to build on a promising Gimcrack effort; handles today's trip and conditions, though 128 lb from stall 22 is no easy ask.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 89 and poor form figures of 9226-6 make Rock On Thunder's 50/1 odds a clear market dismissal.

111-24

Mickael Barzalona 25%

Francis-Henri Graffard 31%

9-2

14/1 25/1 12/1

Effective over six or seven furlongs on cut ground and boasting three wins in its last five starts, Samangan's fourth-place finish in a Chantilly Group 3 latest shows ability, but ranked 20th of 22 on our figures, it simply looks to need more to get involved here.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 25/1 and a dip in form (finishing 2nd and 4th) undermine Samangan's earlier unbeaten run.

Clive Cox 17%

9-2

22/1 16/1 22/1

Landed a Listed prize at Newbury last time out and remains on the upgrade, though a large field from stall 2 adds a tactical question mark; acts on today's trip and going, and 128 lb looks the main test of whether progress continues.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 101 and form showing a recent win gives promise, but 18/1 odds and inconsistent form cap confidence at three stars.

Super Soldier

200/1 150/1 200/1

Winless in his last five starts and ranked last on our figures, Super Soldier was well beaten at York just six days ago and that quick turnaround offers little encouragement. Carries 128 lb from stall 12, though he has form over today's trip and conditions.

AI verdict

Odds of 150/1, poor form figures of 794-00, and a low Saturday Rating of 75 signal minimal winning prospects.

Showed a return to form when four lengths off the pace in Listed company at Newbury last time, and acts on today's trip and going — but consecutive placed efforts since that sole recent win leave questions, and the 128lb burden from stall 15 asks plenty.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 112 and inconsistent form (131-54) at 10/1 suggest mid-tier potential without market confidence.

8-13

66/1 80/1 40/1

Showed a flat effort when beaten four and a half lengths in a Listed fillies' contest at Goodwood last time, but was in solid nick before that and acts on this trip and ground; a capable pilot takes the ride from stall 16, though the class of this field makes things tough.

AI verdict

An 80/1 outsider with a Saturday Rating of 80 and patchy form (125-56) offers minimal winning prospects in this Group 1.

Havana Anna

Gavin Ryan 8%

Donnacha Aidan O'Brien 12%

113

116

8-13

20/1 12/1 20/1

Returning to form at just the right moment, Havana Anna took the Lacken Stakes (Group 3) at Naas by a head on her latest start 33 days ago — a tenacious effort that underlines her class at 5-6f on any ground. The unplaced run before that is the chief concern.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 116 and strong form (1220-1) offer value at 12/1, but non-favourite status and lighter weight temper confidence.

Kimi Rey

13-123

Clement Lecoeuvre 18%

Francis-Henri Graffard 31%

102

8-13

100/1 50/1 100/1

Placed in a Group 3 on her latest start, but that was on cut in the ground and conditions here pose a question; others hold a clear edge on our figures, leaving Kimi Rey tough to fancy despite consistent recent form.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 50/1 undermine a solid Saturday Rating of 89 and consistent form figures of 13-123.

Midnight Tango

Age 3 · 8-13

4460-2

Kieran Shoemark 14%

Ed Walker 16%

104

8-13

33/1

Caught close up when beaten a neck in a Group 3 Commonwealth Cup Trial here over today's trip on suitable ground latest, Midnight Tango returns after 49 days yet to score in five recent starts, and carrying 125lb from stall 17, there's more needed to challenge at this level.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 33/1, modest Saturday Rating of 85, and form showing only one placed finish in five runs justify the 2/5 stars.

Spicy Marg

Age 3 · 8-13

041-83

Tom Marquand 16%

Michael Bell 13%

103

8-13

66/1 40/1 66/1

Shaped well when a 4½-length third in the Sandy Lane Stakes last time, and Spicy Marg's record over this trip and going underlines a genuine versatility that keeps her competitive; held-up tactics and a tendency to run her race consistently make her a solid each-way player, though ranking 11 of 22 suggests improvement is needed.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 87 and 40/1 odds reflect poor recent form (041-83) and no market support in this Group 1.

11/8 5/4 6/5

Venetian Sun bolted up in a Group 2 last time by three lengths and boasts the class and versatility to go on any ground over today's trip — a 27-day turnaround looks straightforward, and from stall 13 this looks the one to beat.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 124, consistent form figures of 113-01, and a competitive 11/8 market price justify four stars.

Oisin Murphy 22%

Simon & Ed Crisford 19%

8-13

18/1

Shaped like a smart filly on her best form — two wins in her last four starts including a runner-up effort — but that ninth last time, beaten nine lengths in a Group 1 at Longchamp on deep ground over a mile, clouds the picture; back to six furlongs from stall 1 in a field of 22 today.

AI verdict

Zanthos holds a solid Saturday Rating of 107 but drifting 18/1 odds and recent form figure of 9 limit confidence.

Burdett Road

Age 6 · 9-12

6-2937

Luke Morris 12%

James Owen 18%

105

9-12

40/1 FCST 25/1

Shaped with some promise at shorter trips and acts on the ground, but Burdett Road is winless in recent starts and returning after 83 days off; dropping back from two miles into a handicap off a mark of 105 suits, though eight rivals hold a superior ranking.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-12 with poor recent form (6-2937), a Saturday Rating of 86, and drifting SP odds signal limited winning prospects.

Ambiente Friendly

Age 5 · 9-12

44846-

Cieren Fallon 18%

James Owen 18%

105

9-12

40/1 28/1 25/1

Cheekpieces fitted for the first time as connections search for improvement, and Ambiente Friendly has shown ability at this trip on a sound surface — but a winless recent run of five starts and a mark that looks stern make progress hard to fancy.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-12 with uninspiring form figures of 44846- and a modest Saturday Rating of 85 limits confidence.

Mondo Man

547/4-

C. Soumillon 16%

Gary & Josh Moore 11%

105

9-12

14/1 9/1 14/1

Once a high-class Flat performer and interesting on a return to familiar conditions over today's trip, Mondo Man arrives on a short break in decent prior form with a notable jockey booking catching the eye — though jumping errors and a tendency to do too much early remain the chief concern.

AI verdict

Rated just 82 with poor form of 547/4- and carrying a hefty 9-12, Mondo Man offers little appeal at SP.

Warrant Holder

1231-1

William Buick 25%

John & Thady Gosden 24%

105

9-12

4/1 4/1 7/2

Warrant Holder arrives here in fine fettle — a winner at York on latest outing, scoring comfortably in a handicap off a 5lb lower mark, and the trainer is firing — though first-time headgear and a 6lb rise in the weights will test whether that York effort can be matched at this level.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-12 with an SP odds entry and a Saturday Rating of 94 limits Warrant Holder's winning prospects despite solid 1231-1 form.

2-4354

Ryan Moore 24%

Joseph Patrick O'Brien 16%

104

9-11

7/1 13/2 11/2

Winless in its last five starts but shaped with promise on its latest outing at today's trip, and first-time headgear plus a top course jockey could sharpen the response; the 137 lb burden is the main concern at a mark of 104.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-11 with a modest Saturday Rating of 85 and uninspiring form of 2-4354 limits confidence.

Plage De Havre

Age 5 · 9-9

P31-63

Oisin Murphy 22%

Andrew Balding 18%

102

9-9

10/1 17/2 8/1

Kept on to finish a sound 3rd last time out over a course-and-distance he handles well, and a top trainer holds an edge here; yet the 135 lb burden and a mark of 102 leave little room for error, and that pulled-up run lurks in recent memory.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-9 with inconsistent form of P31-63 and an unresolved SP market position limits confidence in this 91-rated runner.

Nightime Dancer

Age 4 · 9-9

3824-4

Sean Levey 13%

Richard Hannon 12%

102

9-9

16/1 12/1 14/1

Placed in three of its last five starts and effective at today's trip on this surface, Nightime Dancer showed enough on handicap debut at Newmarket last time — beaten five lengths into fourth — to suggest a forward move is feasible, and there's a class edge behind that 113 rating; yet to win in recent starts remains the concern.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-9 with a modest Saturday Rating of 85, unremarkable form of 3824-4, and starting SP as a non-favourite limits confidence.

French Duke

Age 5 · 9-9

803-16

Jamie Spencer 12%

Hamad Al Jehani 20%

102

9-9

20/1 12/1 16/1

Absent 132 days and ranked well towards the foot of the field on our figures, French Duke faces a stiff task off 135 lb — though the sixth here a year ago came on reappearance, and he handles today's trip and conditions well enough to be considered a place outsider at best.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-9 with a modest Saturday Rating of 83 and inconsistent form of 803-16 limits confidence.

Omni Man

Age 4 · 9-8

163-98

Dylan Browne McMonagle 17%

Joseph Patrick O'Brien 16%

101

9-8

16/1 12/1 14/1

Tuned up after 40 days off and fitted with a first-time hood, Omni Man has shown versatility across a range of trips and conditions — and ran with credit at this meeting last year — but the two most recent efforts have been disappointing, and a mark of 101 makes life tough in this grade.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-8 with a modest Saturday Rating of 83 and inconsistent form of 163-98 limits Omni Man's prospects significantly.

Hopewell Rock

Age 4 · 9-8

3229-3

James Doyle 21%

George Boughey 18%

101

9-8

3/1 9/2 3/1

Held every chance if building on a comeback third at Newmarket, where it was beaten just two lengths off this mark; Hopewell Rock handles today's trip and conditions well, and our top rating of 118 underlines its claims, though it remains winless in its last five starts.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-8 with a modest Saturday Rating of 90 and inconsistent form of 3229-3 limits confidence.

Opportunity

Age 4 · 9-7

149-31

James McDonald 21%

William Haggas 23%

100

9-7

6/1 9/2 11/2

Opportunity bolted up at Carlisle 20 days ago, winning a handicap by two and a quarter lengths off a mark 8lb lower than today's, and this big colt handles the trip and going well — stepping back into Group company after that handicap win is the obvious query.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-7 with a modest Saturday Rating of 88 and inconsistent form of 149-31 limits Opportunity's winning prospects.

Military Academy

Age 5 · 9-7

230557

Billy Loughnane 18%

Jane Chapple-Hyam 13%

100

9-7

66/1 66/1 40/1

Winless in its last six starts and ranked 16 of 19 on our figures, Military Academy arrives in first-time blinkers after trailing the field at Epsom 13 days ago; inconsistency and a tough mark make this hard to fancy, even if today's trip and conditions are familiar.

AI verdict

Rated just 80 with inconsistent form (230557) and carrying 9-7, Military Academy shows little appeal at an unspecified SP.

Tuscan Hills

Age 4 · 9-6

/706-0

David Egan 14%

Robson De Aguiar 12%

9-6

66/1 25/1 66/1

Winless in its last four starts and ranked 17th of 19 on our figures, Tuscan Hills returns after 96 days off the track with stamina still to prove — the deep ground finding it out last time at the Curragh doesn't inspire confidence at these weights.

AI verdict

Form reading /706-0 shows no recent wins, and carrying 9-6 with a Saturday Rating of 80 flags limited winning prospects.

Insanity

Age 6 · 9-6

3220-2

Rossa Ryan 18%

Alan King 16%

9-6

14/1 25/1 11/1

Consistent placer yet to win in its last five starts, Insanity shaped well on return at Pontefract last time, going down by just over two lengths off this exact mark; back up to 12f looks a positive angle, though the 59-day absence and 132lb are the key questions.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-6 with a modest Saturday Rating of 90 and uninspiring recent form of 3220-2 limits expectations.

Dain Ma Nut In

Age 5 · 9-6

180-17

Colin Keane 16%

Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore 7%

9-6

50/1 FCST 40/1

Seventh on latest start over 11f and absent for 120 days, Dain Ma Nut In needs to bounce back sharply — stamina at today's trip also remains unproven — though a notable jockey booking lends some interest, and this front-runner has shown effectiveness over shorter on a sound surface.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-6 with patchy form 180-17, an SP price, and a Saturday Rating of 91 limits confidence significantly.

Nesthorn

Age 4 · 9-6

11-777

Neil Callan 14%

George Baker 10%

9-6

80/1 50/1 66/1

Three straight seventh-place finishes leave Nesthorn hard to fancy, and our figures rank it last of 19 in this field — a significant gap to the official mark of 99. The return from a 78-day absence adds uncertainty, though there are two recent wins on the record and the trip suits.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-6 with a form string of 11-777 and a modest Saturday Rating of 85 suggests declining form.

Teumessias Fox

Age 7 · 9-5

73-535

Jason Watson 13%

Andrew Balding 18%

9-5

50/1 50/1 40/1

Winless in his last five starts, Teumessias Fox at least shaped with credit last time — beaten three and a half lengths off a mark just 1lb higher than today's — and handles this trip and going, but held-up tactics leave him vulnerable to stronger rivals here.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-5 with moderate form of 73-535 and a Saturday Rating of just 84 makes Teumessias Fox a tough sell at SP.

Regal Ulixes

Age 4 · 9-5

-61647

P. J. McDonald 14%

Andrew Balding 18%

9-5

20/1 FCST 16/1

Keen tendencies cost Regal Ulixes at York 35 days ago, beaten four lengths off a 1lb higher mark, but the drop back to 12f looks a significant positive, and a top course trainer plus first-time headgear suggest connections are priming a bold showing.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-5 with patchy form of -61647 and an unconfirmed SP makes Regal Ulixes a risky 2/5-star selection.

Serengeti

Age 4 · 9-3

-45001

Kieran Shoemark 14%

Mike Murphy 12%

9-3

66/1 66/1 40/1

Serengeti won a Windsor handicap last time by a head off a 1lb lower mark, first try at 10f in a tongue-tie, but stepping up to 12f leaves stamina unproven for a horse effective between 7-10f — ranked 15 of 19 on our figures, it's hard to get enthused.

AI verdict

Serengeti's modest Saturday Rating of 84, top weight of 9-3, and inconsistent form of -45001 at SP make this a low-confidence selection.

114

9-2

14/1 FCST 12/1

Breeders' Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf Grade 1 winner last time out, she handled the step up to a mile with authority on good ground — course and distance form checks out — but 231 days off the track and the demands of this stiff mile are the chief concerns.

AI verdict

Outsider at 12/1 with inconsistent form (13251-) and a solid but not elite Saturday Rating of 114 limits appeal.

W. J. Lee 16%

P. Twomey 25%

103

9-2

25/1 33/1 25/1

Tried Group 1 company last time and kept on to finish fourth, beaten six lengths at the Curragh — honest enough, but our figures rank this filly bottom of the field and consistent form simply doesn't stretch to winning at this level; the first-time visor at least offers a wildcard.

AI verdict

Weak Saturday Rating of 88, outsider odds of 33/1, and patchy form (11-924) signal limited Group 1 competitiveness here.

66/1 40/1 50/1

Beaten a long way out in a Group 1 on her latest start, Moon Target faces a stiff winning task after a 252-day absence, though she acts on today's conditions, has scope over longer trips as a three-year-old, and a place claim remains live.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 84 and 50/1 odds reflect Moon Target's inconsistent form, making her a long-shot outsider.

8/13 FCST 4/7

Decisive winner of the Irish 1,000 Guineas at the Curragh last time out, pulling clear by 2½ lengths with a sharp burst of speed that marked her out as the class act here; bypassing the Oaks to take her chance underlines connections' confidence, and she acts on today's conditions.

AI verdict

Strong 129 Saturday Rating and dominant 111-71 form justify 4 stars, despite 8/13 odds making her vulnerable at 9-2 weight.

Rose Ghaiyyath

C. Soumillon 16%

Richard Hughes 15%

9-2

80/1 50/1 66/1

Beaten eight lengths in Listed company at Goodwood last time, and with a ranking of eighth of nine in the field, Rose Ghaiyyath looks hard to fancy here; the top jockey's return is a plus, but there are real doubts about whether she's good enough or sharp enough to trouble the principals.

AI verdict

At 66/1 with a Saturday Rating of 84 and patchy form reading 14-06, Rose Ghaiyyath lacks the market confidence to contend.

50/1 33/1 40/1

Unplaced last time in a Group 1 on her most recent start, Sukanya has a bit to prove at this level and ranks seventh of nine on our figures; the earlier win and proven course-and-distance record offer some encouragement, but she remains hard to fancy here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 87 and 40/1 odds reflect weak recent form of 429-10, making Sukanya a long-shot outsider.

40/1 25/1 28/1

Boasts course-and-distance form and clearly handles today's going, with three wins in its last five starts including a Group 2 success on soft ground last time out — but stepping back up to Group 1 company represents a stiffer ask, and our rating of 110 leaves her with ground to make up on the market leaders from stall 9.

AI verdict

A 33/1 outsider with patchy form (51-101) and a Saturday Rating of only 90 makes Timeforshowcasing a difficult Group 1 proposition.

12/1 7/1 11/1

Beaten just 4½ lengths in a Group 1 Guineas last time, Touleen brings strong Group-race form to this contest — trainer in good nick and the trip and going both suit — though that recent sixth on the back of a 47-day break is the one note of caution.

AI verdict

Midfield Saturday Rating of 110, drifting odds of 17/2, and inconsistent form figures of 115-26 limit confidence to three stars.

Proven over today's trip and ground, True Love arrives on the back of three wins in her last five starts and a close second in Group 1 company at the Curragh, showing she remains firmly at this level; the one query is whether she can overturn the form with the market rival she was behind there.

AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 128 and consistent form (18-112) at 10/3 odds make True Love a strong each-way contender.

Billy Loughnane 18%

George Boughey 18%

101

9-9

25/1 20/1 22/1

Proven over this trip and ground, Awaken showed ability when second and winning in recent starts, but that Group 3 flop last time out raises questions, and a mark of 101 won't make handicap life straightforward after 65 days off.

AI verdict

Awaken's poor recent form (2194-0) and high weight of 9-9 undermine her 80 Saturday Rating significantly.

Age 3 · 9-8

12-605

James Doyle 21%

Andrew Balding 18%

9-8

25/1 25/1 22/1

Mubasimah arrives on the back of a close-up Group 2 effort at Chantilly that arguably overstates her current level, but she acts on this surface over this trip, a top trainer handles the course well, and her handicap debut opens new doors — the weight of 134lb is the main question.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-8 with patchy form of 12-605 and a Saturday Rating of just 83 makes Mubasimah an unattractive proposition at SP.

Hope Queen

40/1 18/1 40/1

Ran well below her best on seasonal debut in a Group 1 last time, but that stiff task up to a mile looks best forgiven — back in handicap company over an effective seven furlongs on ground that suits, Hope Queen's back-to-back wins beforehand keep her firmly in this.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-8 with an inconsistent form figure of 11-9 and no market confidence limits Hope Queen's prospects despite a Saturday Rating of 83.

Just Call Me Angel

Robert Havlin 15%

Ed Dunlop 12%

9-6

66/1 33/1 66/1

Winning form at this trip and going gives Just Call Me Angel some relevance, but a heavy defeat last time out — possibly failing to see out 10f in Listed company — and a ranking of 26th in a field of 30 makes her very hard to fancy at the weights despite that earlier Classic success.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-6 with a modest Saturday Rating of 84 and inconsistent form of 131-17 limits her winning prospects significantly.

66/1 28/1 50/1

Spinning Lizzie showed her class when finishing a staying-on third in a Listed heat at Newmarket 47 days ago, and handles today's trip and conditions well, but that effort still leaves something to find here and a trainer firing at just 5% makes the timing tricky.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-4 with a modest Saturday Rating of 79 and inconsistent form of 25-183 limits Spinning Lizzie's prospects.

Zooming

Age 3 · 9-4

21-57

Tom Marquand 16%

William Haggas 23%

9-4

28/1 18/1 28/1

Zooming showed smart form across her last four starts, including a win and a runner-up, but disappointed badly at Listed level last time out; a return to a familiar trip and a bounce-back are both needed here, though her ability in good-to-soft conditions at least offers some encouragement from stall 9.

AI verdict

Zooming's Saturday Rating of 79 and poor recent form (21-57) make the 9-4 weight burden near-impossible to overcome.

Seet

Ryan Moore 24%

John & Thady Gosden 24%

9/2

Back-to-back wins, including a penalty success at Doncaster with plenty to spare 14 days ago, mark Seet as the one to beat here; effective at today's trip and going, with a top-class jockey aboard and a trainer firing at 29%, the 130lb burden looks the only question.

AI verdict

Seet's 82 Saturday Rating and top weight of 9-4 undermine her promising 511 form despite reasonable market position.

66/1 33/1 66/1

Narrowly beaten in a Group 3 at San Siro latest, but ranked bottom of this field on our figures and burdened with 129 lb from stall 24, Al Rateel faces a stiff ask stepping up in class again, despite proven effectiveness over a mile.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-3 with patchy form of 163, a Saturday Rating of 78, and no market support leaves Al Rateel unconvincing.

Repel

21-51

Colin Keane 16%

Decent recent form — two wins from its last four starts including a comfortable success last time, with that yard in sharp nick at 26% — though ranked 20th in a 30-runner field and drawn in stall 1, there's enough in its profile to take seriously at this trip and going.

AI verdict

Repel's moderate Saturday Rating of 71, top weight of 9-1, and inconsistent form of 21-51 limit confidence despite reasonable recent placing.

Struggled to see out ten furlongs when fifth at Naas last time, and with our figures ranking her 25th of 30, she faces a stiff ask here; however, a return to a shorter trip could suit, and that prior win shows she retains ability on her day.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-0 with modest form figures of 3-15 and a Saturday Rating of just 77 limits confidence significantly.

Beaten three-quarters of a length off a 1lb lower mark on its most recent outing, Quiet Mutiny has shown ability at this trip and still looks unexposed, but ranked 28th of 30 on our figures, this is a tough ask from stall 25 carrying 125lb.

AI verdict

Glyfada arrives here in fine nick after back-to-back wins, most recently at Killarney over today's trip, and handles this ground well across a range of distances. A notable jockey booking adds appeal, though she carries 125 lb from stall 31 and steps up sharply in class.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 8-13 with an SP entry and a Saturday Rating of 82 limits Glyfada's winning prospects despite solid 211 form.

True Test

Age 3 · 8-12

20-420

William Buick 25%

William Knight 14%

8-12

40/1 40/1 33/1

Yet to score in recent starts, True Test arrives 47 days after finishing nine lengths back in a Group 1 at Newmarket — clearly outclassed there but running to form. Draws stall 13 carrying 124 lb, and while the distance and conditions suit, a stronger level of opposition is needed.

AI verdict

Poor form figures of 20-420, a Saturday Rating of just 77, and top weight of 8-12 make True Test a very unappealing prospect.

Harlequin Breeze showed a transformed display when bolting up by 4½ lengths at Leicester last time out and clearly thrives at this trip on a sound surface, making it a leading contender on a career-best effort; the step up into handicap company is the key question.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 8-12 with a modest Saturday Rating of 78, SP odds and inconsistent form of 52-041 offer little confidence.

Tongue-tie applied for the first time and a drop to a mile in this handicap look the key positives for Brigid's Well, who shaped with promise at Listed level last time over a longer trip; her inconsistent recent efforts, however, suggest she'll need to find more.

AI verdict

Rated just 78 with inconsistent form (9124-5) and carrying 8-11 without market support as a non-favourite justifies a weak 2-star rating.

Beaten seven lengths at Group 3 level last time out when out of her depth, Blingy's Sister faces a stiff ask to bounce back from that run after 62 days off; she does stay this trip and handles the going, but her ceiling looks exposed.

AI verdict

Rated just 72 with a form figure of 0 last time out and carrying 8-10, Blingy's Sister offers little confidence.

80/1 50/1 66/1

Shaped with some promise when fourth on a previous start but contributed little when beaten five lengths at Newbury 34 days ago, and with a career-high 121 lb from stall 26, this versatile sort — effective on multiple surfaces and at today's trip — faces a stiff task here.

AI verdict

Tavana's weak form (4174-9), low Saturday Rating of 73, and absence from market favouritism combine to justify a poor 2-star rating.

Beaten favourite last time out before bouncing back to win a handicap by 2¼ lengths at Yarmouth off a 6lb lower mark, Harlequin Angel arrives 50 days later carrying 121lb from stall 22, and at a rating of 87 faces a stiffer task on our figures, ranked 23 of 30.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-9 with a Saturday Rating of 80 and starting at SP as a non-favourite despite decent form of 2310-1 limits her winning prospects.

15/2 9/1 7/1

Showed good closing speed when beaten two lengths on her handicap turf debut at Thirsk 19 days ago, and a top trainer in fine form gives her every chance to build on back-to-back wins; the worry is whether she can reproduce that from stall 32.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-9 with a Saturday Rating of 78 and unresolved SP odds, Bintaziza's form of 114 lacks the market confidence for a higher rating.

Compact and willing, Green Carrera arrives on the back of a narrow Curragh handicap win 26 days ago off a 5lb lower mark — now up in weight, drawn 30, and wearing a hood for the first time, our figures make this a tough ask at the foot of the rankings.

AI verdict

Rated just 80 on Saturday Rating, carrying 8-8, and absent from favouritism despite decent form of 614-21 limits confidence.

Back-to-back wins — including defying a penalty last time — mark She Commands as a progressive type with more in the locker as she settles into handicap company for a leading stable, though the 39-day break and a speed rating of 81 leave slight questions.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-8 with a Saturday Rating of 78 and starting at SP as a non-favourite limits her winning prospects significantly.

Beaten well out of contention on latest start at Newmarket, Darn Hot Gallop needs a sharp revival here, and our figures rank it well down a deep field of 30. Three wins in its last four starts show there's ability, and it handles today's trip and conditions.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-8 with a Saturday Rating of just 80 and starting at SP outside the market, her form of 11-10 offers insufficient confidence.

Beaten just over two lengths on its latest start when conditions didn't quite suit, Symbol Of Majesty arrives here with two wins in its last three outings, handles today's trip and going, and has a trainer in fine fettle — though from stall 21 carrying 120 lb, it must overcome a moderate recent run.

AI verdict

Rated just 78 with inconsistent form (1-15), carrying 8-8 at SP as a non-favourite signals limited winning prospects.

Consistent enough in recent starts but yet to win in its last five, Lyrics Of Life pulled hard and emptied out late when third here most recently — 49 days on, the lack of progression is a concern for a midfield hope carrying 119 lb from stall 29.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-7 with a modest Saturday Rating of 75, inconsistent form of 225-23, and no market support as a non-favourite limits confidence.

Passing Thought won a handicap on comeback from a break at Wetherby last time off a 5lb lower mark than today's, so the rise in class is the query, but versatility on ground and a step up to this mile trip could unlock further improvement.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-7 with a Saturday Rating of 79 and SP odds, Passing Thought's form (7217-1) shows inconsistency despite a recent win.

Rosa Inglesa landed a Nottingham handicap by three lengths off a 9lb lower mark over this trip last time out, suggesting there's more to come from this tall filly — though she must now prove herself off a higher mark, and the step up in class from stall 19 makes this a stern examination.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-7 with a modest Saturday Rating of 79, inconsistent form (216-31), and starting at an unfavourable SP dampens confidence significantly.

28/1 22/1 28/1

Tongue-tied for the first time today and a winner at a lower mark last time out, Spinning Around has some form credentials, but at 94 on our figures — ranked near the foot of the field — and returning after 46 days, this is a hard one to get behind at any fancy price.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 8-5 with a Saturday Rating of 77 and inconsistent form 201-41 limits Spinning Around's winning prospects.

Crownright

3-22

Edward Greatrex 14%

Ralph Beckett 19%

8-5

22/1 14/1 22/1

Crownright has placed in all three recent starts and, as a Frankel filly who should relish a large, competitive field, looks capable of stepping up on that placed form — our rating of 108 underlines the scope here. The key is whether she settles, having pulled hard at Leicester last time when second.

AI verdict

Low Saturday Rating of 72, uninspiring 3-22 form, and top weight of 8-5 undermine Crownright's chances despite unknown market odds.

Beaten three lengths off this exact mark at Thirsk 19 days ago, Thankfully showed consistency there but needs to find more to trouble this field — effective at today's trip on suitable going, yet our figures place it well down the rankings.

AI verdict

Rated just 71 with inconsistent form (35-15), carrying 8-4 and not market-fancied, Thankfully lacks the profile for Sandringham Stakes contention.

Broke through with a comfortable maiden win at Southwell over 1m last time, handled today's trip and going conditions before, and represents a strong training operation with potential for more now entering handicaps — but ranked 27 of 30 on our figures, making it hard to fancy at likely odds.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 73 and SP odds signal weak market confidence, despite recent form showing a win.

Ran in the Derby at Epsom last time — Group 1 level, even if well beaten eighth — and three wins in the last five starts underline real ability, with the return to quick ground a major plus; consistency remains the question.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 105 and slipping form (117-18) at 10/1 suggest mid-tier prospects without market confidence.

Four wins in his last five starts — the latest a battling Group 3 success at the Curragh — signal a colt in red-hot form, and the step up to 12f looks a natural progression for this imposing type; the first-time hood is the one thing to watch.

AI verdict

Causeway's near-perfect form (41-111) and strong 123 Saturday Rating justify 4/5 stars despite carrying top weight of 9-2.

Broke its duck at Chepstow 21 days ago, wearing a tongue-tie again today, but stepping into novice company rather than a handicap where connections might have exploited that win more ruthlessly — our figures rank it last of six, making it hard to fancy despite genuine course-and-distance versatility.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 77 and 33/1 odds highlight Echo Of Stars as a longshot with inconsistent form making top-two finish unlikely.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 102 and inconsistent form (1-31) at 10/1 suggest mid-tier prospects in this Group 2.

Venetian Prince arrives on the back of a neck Group 2 success at San Siro 17 days ago, handled by a trainer with a strong record at this track, and the wide range of conditions he handles — heavy to fast — adds versatility; first-time headgear is the unknown, and Italian form may not fully translate here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 100 and recent win in form justify mid-tier appeal, but 16/1 odds signal weak market confidence.

AI verdict

Unbeaten form and even-money odds suggest strong claims, but a Saturday Rating of 97 leaves improvement needed at Group 2 level.

Broke through at Listed level when taking the Westow Stakes at York last time, and that 5f win on a sound surface fits today's conditions well; the worry is a wide draw in stall 19 under 135 lb, though there's likely further progress to come.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-9 with a modest Saturday Rating of 90 and starting at SP as a non-favourite limits confidence.

Finishing a creditable length-and-a-half third in a Chantilly Group 3 last time shows Moojeed in fair heart, and a proven 5-6f trip suits, but making a handicap debut off a mark of 102 — and ranked last on our figures — makes this a tough ask.

AI verdict

Twice a winner in its last five starts and clearly effective at the trip on this surface, Revival Power's most recent effort was compromised by going too hard too soon at York, leaving something to find off 133 lb; the attitude is there, though, and a sounder tactical ride could see a bounce-back here.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-7 with a Saturday Rating of 88 and form showing a recent seventh, Revival Power lacks the market confidence to justify faith.

Versatile on going and effective at both six and seven furlongs, though Ten Carat Harry found the pace too strong over today's trip on easy ground last time out; returning to handicap company off 101 is no gimme, but two wins in his last six suggest he remains capable.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-6 with inconsistent form (133414) and an 86 Saturday Rating limits Ten Carat Harry's winning prospects here.

Consistent sort who knows this trip and surface, and a top course jockey takes the ride; carrying 131 lb from stall 21 and that latest fifth — beaten 5¼ lengths in Listed company at Newbury — suggests fine margins separating it from a return to winning form.

Punchy recent form — three wins in the last four starts, including a claimer victory last time — makes Bacio appear solid on paper, but our figures rank it 22nd of 28 and it faces a sharp step up in class; effective over 5f on fast ground is the main case for it.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-5 with SP odds and a Saturday Rating of 88 limits Bacio's winning prospects despite solid 121-1 form.

Shaped well when a 3-length second on its latest outing, and proven at today's trip and conditions; the handicap context is a slight unknown but a shrewd yard could exploit a first crack at this format, giving this runner solid claims despite some time off the track.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-4 with inconsistent form of 13-62 and a Saturday Rating of just 85 makes Sandal's Song a risky proposition at SP odds.

Twice a winner in its last five starts and clearly capable at this level, Ghost Mode carries 106 on our figures and has course-and-distance form to call on — but the temperament is a real concern, and two below-par efforts in recent starts, including a Listed flop, leave something to prove.

AI verdict

Rated just 87 with inconsistent form (12-179) and carrying 9-1 weight, Ghost Mode offers little market confidence as a non-favourite.

AI verdict

Rated 84 with uninspiring 43-332 form and carrying 9-1 weight, Comical Point lacks the market confidence to justify a stronger rating.

Unplaced last time on heavy ground, which clearly didn't suit, and 95 days off the track adds to the questions here — though a return to sounder going could help Baker Blue bounce back, and the trip is proven.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-1 stones with a Saturday Rating of 80 and inconsistent form of -42410 makes Baker Blue an unconvincing each-way prospect.

Consistent recent profile — three wins in last five starts including Listed-placed last time out — and a top course trainer boosts the claims of Simplify, who handles today's trip and going well; the 127 lb ask from stall 18 is the main query.

AI verdict

AI verdict

Jazl arrives in fine nick after back-to-back wins, most recently dominating a Leicester handicap on debut in this sphere, though today's 95 mark is a stiffer ask; lightly raced and clearly progressive, the speed for this trip is there, but the trainer's lean recent spell is a note of caution.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-0 with a Saturday Rating of 84, Jazl's strong 23-11 form is undermined by unfavourable odds and non-favourite market status.

Three wins on the spin and a yard in form make Westport an interesting handicap debutant from stall 3 in this big field, effective at today's trip and acting on both good and artificial surfaces; 47 days off is the main query.

Unresolved SP odds and a 9-0 weight burden undermine Westport's perfect 111 form and 86 Saturday Rating.

Dual winner in recent starts but below-par last time out, and at 126lb from stall 26 with our figures ranking him 20th of 28, Gentle George is hard to fancy, though the drop to five furlongs after a mile trip could spark a revival.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-0 with a Saturday Rating of 84 and poor recent form (6116-0) makes Gentle George an unattractive market proposition.

Won with plenty to spare at Windsor last time out and, with a trainer in good nick and a drop to 5f on handicap debut looking an intriguing move, Gold Digger arrives at the top of our rankings as the one to beat, her sixth-place blip aside.

Carrying 8-13 with a Saturday Rating of 79 and weak form of 16-1 as a non-favourite makes Gold Digger an unconvincing market proposition.

Dropped back into handicap company after a below-par Listed outing, Black Star Boy has the form to bounce back — two wins in his last five starts on suitable ground — though the 124 lb burden from stall 17 is no gimme.

AI verdict

Rated 84 with inconsistent form (618-16), carrying 8-12 and dismissed by the market as a non-favourite warrants only 2 stars.

Narrowly denied over 5f at Sandown on latest start, Calico Blue arrives for an in-form yard firing at 31% over the past fortnight and clearly has more to offer at this trip; keenness remains the one factor to watch.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-12 with a Saturday Rating of 86 and unresolved SP odds signals limited market confidence despite solid 311-2 form.

40/1 25/1 28/1

Freshness after a 105-day absence is the question mark here, and ranked 24 of 28 on our figures she faces a stiff task from stall 23 under 122 lb — yet there's something to work with: a close second last time out at Meydan and a top yard behind her keep this one mildly interesting.

AI verdict

Rated just 74 with inconsistent form (2-1542), carrying 8-10, and starting at SP without favourite status limits her winning prospects significantly.

Beaten into fifth on its last two starts before winning at Thirsk 19 days ago — off a 6lb lower mark than today — Dazzling Haze has course-and-distance form and a notable jockey booking in its favour, but ranked 27 of 28 on our figures, it faces a stiff ask from stall 12 at 122lb.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-10 with a Saturday Rating of 83, inconsistent form of 715-51, and no market support as a non-favourite limits appeal.

Twice a winner earlier in the sequence and proven at today's trip and conditions, Sovereign Spell ran creditably when seventh last time off a 1lb higher mark, and drops back here with claims — though 48 days off and draw 27 from the widest part of the gate are factors to weigh.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-9 off a Saturday Rating of 80 with inconsistent form (1D3-117) and weak market position justifies just 2 stars.

Toby Moore(7) 11%

Hugo Palmer 13%

Carries top weight off a 6lb higher mark after a narrow Chester win six days ago, and the quick turnaround from stall 15 makes this tough to fancy at these odds — though recent back-to-back victories show the form is live, and the trip and ground hold no fears.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-9 off a Saturday Rating of 84 with uninspiring recent form of 74-311 leaves Tricky Tel undervalued by the market.

AI verdict

Rated 84 with inconsistent form (51-012) and carrying 8-8, Cherry Baker lacks the market confidence or recent wins to justify a stronger rating.

Caught near the line at York last time when going well and beaten just half a length off a 3 lb lower mark, Stargazed showed real tenacity there and handles today's trip and conditions well — though carrying a stiffer weight from stall 16 on a higher mark makes the task tougher this time.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-8 with a Saturday Rating of 80 and inconsistent form (6415-2), Stargazed lacks the market confidence to justify stronger selection.

Starmade's modest Saturday Rating of 83 and unconfirmed SP odds signal limited market confidence despite solid 321-31 form.

Beaten in three consecutive runs after her sole recent success, including a heavy defeat at Listed level, Zelaina faces a fitness query on her comeback after 300 days off; the drop back to 5f and today's going give her a fighting chance if she settles more kindly.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-7 with a Saturday Rating of 76 and poor recent form (1888-) makes Zelaina an unconvincing betting proposition.
