68
4
11-8
11/1 17/2 11/1
Zabeel Alkabeir won twice in his last five starts, but he's a fourth last time out and a fifth two starts back, so the sharpness has faded. He's fit enough after 21 days and has run over today's trip and going, yet 162 lb from draw 5 is a hefty burden for an 81-rated gelding.
AI verdict

SR 68 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

11-7
16/1 16/1 14/1
Zoulu Chief has been well beaten lately, finishing ninth last time out and ninth or worse in three of his last four, though he has run over today's trip and going and a third six starts back shows some ability. Our rating of 83 sits above his official 80, but he is yet to win in recent form and carries 161 lb from stall seven.
AI verdict

SR 60 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 16/1.

11-6
9/1 15/2 17/2
Dannick arrives in cracking form, second last time out and a winner two starts back, with another success five starts back, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before. The main risk is the 160 lb he must carry from stall 16.
AI verdict

SR 76 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

14/1 11/1 14/1
Kimeko Glory arrives in cracking form, third last time out, a second two starts back and a winner three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before from draw 15. The main risk is a stable out of sorts, just 1/21 in the last 14 days, while she carries 159 lb.
AI verdict

SR 74 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

7/1 17/2 6/1
Son is bang in form after a second last time out, just 13 days ago, and has run over today's trip and on this going before; our rating has him top of the 18. The one risk is that he's yet to win in recent starts and carries 159 lb from stall 13.
AI verdict

SR 80 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

5/2 10/3 9/4
Tex is our pick on profile: he won last time out, was second two starts back, and has run over today's trip and going, with 28 days since his last run. The 159 lb is a stiff burden, but our 85 rating, second best in the field, backs his claims.
AI verdict

SR 91 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

11-4
33/1 20/1 30/1
Lequinto was seventh last time out after a third and a fifth, and he's hard to fancy with that slide after a win five starts back; he does have experience of today's trip and going, though 158 lb is a big burden, and our rating ranks him 13th of 18.
AI verdict

SR 47 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 33/1.

25/1 9/1 25/1
Winner last time out, Documenting has a second three starts back too, and he has run over today's trip and on this going, but 48 days off and a hefty 158 lb temper the appeal. Our rating of 83 sits above his official 77, yet ranks him only sixth of 18.
AI verdict

SR 61 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 20/1.

12/1 10/1 11/1
Bold Impact was third last time out, just 13 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going, though he has one win in his last six and a fifth and a seventh followed that win. Carrying 157 lb from stall 10, he sits 11th of 18 on our rating of 77, a fair midfield profile.
AI verdict

SR 69 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

11-2
100/1 33/1 80/1
Chirimiri has been busy, with a third two starts back and another third six starts back, but he was unplaced last time out and is yet to win in his last six outings. Returning after 41 days, he carries 156 lb from stall 11 and still looks unexposed and open to improvement.
AI verdict

SR 47 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 80/1.

8/1 FCST 15/2
Norcross Brow arrives in cracking form, third last time out, a second two starts back and a winner three starts back, with three wins in his last six, and he has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 156 lb from stall 18, he's ranked only 12th of 18 by our rating, which tempers the enthusiasm.
AI verdict

SR 81 suggests ability but 8/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

10-13
9/1 12/1 8/1
Signcastle City has been consistent without getting his head in front, finishing fourth last time out, with a third two starts back and a second five starts back, and he's back quickly after eight days. He has run over today's trip and going, but 153 lb from stall nine leaves him a lot to do, though our rating of 82 sits well above his official 72.
AI verdict

SR 76 suggests ability but 17/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

10-12
11/1 15/2 11/1
Tolstoy won last time out, 21 days ago, though he was unplaced in the three runs before that, and he has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 152 lb from draw four, he's sat seventh of 18 on our rating of 82, so he's a mid-pack proposition with a recent upturn to back up.
AI verdict

SR 69 suggests ability but 11/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

10-12
14/1 12/1 14/1
Rock Opera has gone unplaced in his last three outings after a ninth four starts back, though a second five starts back and a win six starts back show he can go well, and he has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 152 lb from draw 12 after 29 days off, he looks a mid-pack type on our rating of 80.
AI verdict

SR 61 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

16/1 25/1 14/1
Who Wants Me won three and four starts back but has been unplaced in her last two, and she returns after 48 days off. She has run over today's trip and going, yet 151 lb from stall 17 and a ranking of 16th of 18 on our figures make her hard to fancy.
AI verdict

SR 54 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 25/1.

10-11
33/1 20/1 33/1
Thapa VC has slipped to a seventh last time out, after a sixth and an eighth, so the form is heading the wrong way, and 151 lb from draw 14 doesn't help. In his favour, he has won twice in his last six starts, has run over today's trip and going, and is back quickly after eight days.
AI verdict

SR 47 suggests ability but 28/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

10-7
33/1 33/1 28/1
The Bitter Moose is winless in his last six, beaten into sixth last time out and an eighth two starts back, so he is hard to fancy, ranked 15 of 18 on our figures. He did finish third three, four and five starts back and has run over today's trip and going, but 147 lb is a hefty burden.
AI verdict

SR 50 suggests ability but 28/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

18/1 8/1 18/1
Won last time out and is two from six recently, with a second two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going, but she's turned out again just five days later. Carrying 144 lb from stall 1, she is ranked 17 of 18 on our figures, which makes her hard to fancy.
AI verdict

SR 59 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

12/1 7/1 12/1
A Major Payne arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out and three wins in his last six starts, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Against that, 135 lb is a hefty burden, and our rating of 88 ranks him only eighth of 12 after a 33-day break.

Collecting Coin was a fifth last time out, but he's a winner three starts back and a second two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 135 lb from stall 3, he's rated 90 by us, only seventh of 12, which holds him back.

Henlein is yet to win in his last five starts, with an eighth two starts back and a seventh five runs ago, but he returns 20 days after his last outing having run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 98 tops the field of 12 and makes him the one to beat from stall 2.

Fresh from a second last time out and back after 21 days, The Angel King has run over today's trip and going before, and his 91 rating ranks fourth of 12. The risk is that he's yet to win in his last six starts, with a 135 lb burden from stall seven.

Drymee arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out and three wins in his last five starts, and he has run over today's trip and going. But 132 lb off an official 87 is a big ask, and our rating of 81 puts him last of twelve after a 35-day break.

Winless in his last six, Monarch's Gold arrives on the back of a sixth last time out and a fifth two starts back, though a third three starts back shows he can get involved, and he has run over today's trip and going. Fitness after 34 days off is a question, and 132 lb from stall four leaves him a midfield sort on our rating of 90.

Princling is a leading danger, having won four starts back and finished second five starts back, while he has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 93 ranks him second of 12. The main risk is an 84-day break after a sixth last time out.

Galilean Quality arrives in cracking form, runner-up in his last two starts and a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 129 lb off 27 days since his last run, the weight is the main risk.

Galiyan has run over today's trip and going, and a second three starts back sits alongside a win five starts back, so he looks a strong threat after a break of just 20 days. The main risk is back-to-back fifths, while top-rated at 107 and carrying 129 lb.

Guildmaster has a win five starts back and a third four starts back to his name, and he's fresh after 27 days off, has run on today's going and our rating of 99 ranks him fourth of six; the risk is three straight runs of seventh, eighth and seventh.

Level Look arrives in cracking form, having won last time out and two starts back, with a third success six starts back, and he's fresh enough after 15 days. Still, our figures rank him last of six, and 129 lb off an official 91 looks a stiff ask, though he has run over today's trip and going.

Far Above Dream won twice in his last six starts, and a second two starts back shows he's still competitive. He's fit after 13 days, has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 104 ranks him fourth of 18; the main risk is an unplaced run last time out.

Wiltshire last won four starts back and has been unplaced in his last three, but he returns quickly after 13 days and has run over today's trip and on this going. Our rating of 108 tops the field of 18 against an official 100, so he is the one to beat from stall 13.

Badri arrives in good heart after a second last time out and just ten days since that run, having also finished third three starts back and second four starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. The main risk is 136 lb from draw 10, with only one win in his last six starts.

Annaf signed off with a fourth last time out 20 days ago and has run over today's trip and going, while our rating of 107 ranks him second of 18, a clear 10 lb clear of his official 97. The risk is that he is winless in his last six, with a third five starts back his best finish in that spell.

Our rating of 102 sits above his official 96, though he carries 133 lb from stall 16 and has been unplaced twice in that spell.

Fourth last time out and a winner three starts back, Ray Mon Dough has run over today's trip and on this going, and returns after 27 days. An eighth two starts ago and 128 lb from stall 15 temper enthusiasm, though our rating of 96 sits above his official 92.
AI verdict

SR 70 suggests ability but 33/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Orion's Belt is without a win in her last five, with a ninth last time out and a second five starts back her best finish, though she has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 101 sits above her official 92, but she's been off the pace recently, and 128 lb from stall one is no help.
AI verdict

SR 63 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 50/1.

Goldmoyne is fit and in decent heart after a second last time out, having run only 13 days ago, and he has been placed in four of his last six, though he is yet to win in that spell and a sixth and an eighth sit in between. He has run over today's trip and going, but our rating of 92 ranks him only 12th of 18.

Pilu arrives in cracking nick, having won last time out and two starts back, and he's fresh enough after 15 days, with experience of today's trip and going. Against that, he's ranked only tenth of 18 on our rating, and a eighth and fifth earlier in that run show the consistency isn't there.

Runner-up last time out just 15 days ago, and a winner three and six starts back, but those efforts sit alongside an eighth and two sevenths, so he is inconsistent. Has run over today's trip and going, yet our figures rank him 14 of 18, which makes him hard to fancy from draw 4 off 127 lb.

Intense Vision is hard to fancy, having finished unplaced last time out and in three of his last five, with a ninth two starts back and a third five starts back the best of it. He has run on today's going and returns after 19 days, while our rating of 89 ranks him 15th of 18.

Yordan arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out and two starts back after a second three starts back, and he has run over today's trip. But our figures rank him last of 18, with a 77 rating well short of his official 87, so he looks outclassed off 123 lb.
