Woohoo

Age 5 · 11-2

014927

Miss Kayleigh Williams 11%

Jim Goldie 14%

11-2

3/1 10/3 11/4

Won at Musselburgh in April off a 4lb lower mark and was progressing well until a below-par seventh last time up in class. Back at the same level today in a more suitable grade; effective at this trip, acts on the going, and the stable has a strong record in this race.

AI verdict

Woohoo's mid-range Saturday Rating of 78 and inconsistent form (014927) justify a moderate 3/5 despite fair 4/1 market odds.

Age 4 · 11-2

Mr Thomas Easterby 10%

Tim Easterby 11%

11-2

11/1 7/1 11/1

Won at Ripon two starts back off a 4lb lower mark, but beaten 4.5l when sixth last time on a stiff assignment. Drops 1lb today and is at home over 5f on this going; an inconsistent profile and the trainer's recent strike-rate is a concern, but the ability is clearly there.

AI verdict

Marajito's poor recent form (00-516), a modest Saturday Rating of 71, and 7/1 odds suggest limited winning prospects.

Age 4 · 10-13

304-61

Mr Lucas Murphy 19%

Iain Jardine 12%

10-13

15/8 11/4 7/4

Overcame a slow start to land a handicap at Carlisle last time off a 4lb lower mark, a confidence-boosting effort. The drop back to 5f is the key question given her better form has come at 7f; trainer in good form, and she showed genuine resolve to get the head in front.

AI verdict

Decent 76 Saturday Rating and fair 11/4 odds are offset by top weight 10-13 and inconsistent 304-61 form.

Mr Eireann Cagney 22%

Jim Goldie 14%

10-10

11/2 4/1 11/2

Outpaced and needing a sterner test at Hamilton last time, beaten 2.5l off a 2lb higher mark — the distance angle is in his favour today. Generally consistent and handles any going at this trip; the stable has a strong record in this race and he is well respected off 64.

AI verdict

Solid 72 Saturday Rating and competitive 4/1 odds are offset by inconsistent 314655 form and a hefty 10-10 weight.

Our Absent Friends

Age 8 · 10-9

342063

Miss Amy Collier 20%

Tristan Davidson 15%

10-9

11/2 5/1 11/2

Got into the race too early at Catterick last time and was beaten 2l off a mark 1lb higher than today's — better restraint should see him show his best. Generally consistent at 5f, acts on any going bar heavy; first-time tongue-tie applied and our top-rated runner.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 70 and fair 5/1 odds, but inconsistent form of 342063 and top weight of 10-9 limit confidence.

Never Dark

Age 9 · 10-8

49387-

Mr Freddie Robson 8%

Iain Jardine 12%

10-8

20/1 12/1 20/1

Returning from an absence of some nine months, which is the primary concern, and was never involved when beaten 5l last time. An erratic profile and our lowest-rated runner; the trainer is in good form and he can be effective making his own running at 5f, but fitness must be the question.

AI verdict

Never Dark's poor form (49387-), low Saturday Rating of 57, and 12/1 odds suggest the market holds little confidence in this 10-8 carrier.

Midnight Lir

Age 5 · 10-7

60-934

Mr Matt Brown 0%

Michael Dods 12%

10-7

15/2 11/2 15/2

Matched his form at Thirsk last time, beaten 1.25l off this same mark, though he pulled hard through the race — an encouraging effort given the energy expended. First-time tongue-tie and blinkers applied, which may help him settle; acts on any going at the trip, but a long losing run to overcome.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 10-7 with modest form 60-934 and a Saturday Rating of 66 limits Midnight Lir's claims at 6/1.

9-7

5/2 FCST 9/4

Showed clear improvement over 6f at York last time, finishing third with that form since boosted — experience is a significant advantage over the debutants. Bred to get a touch further and the trip suits; gives a solid benchmark in this small field.

AI verdict

Conciliate's strong 156 Saturday Rating and competitive 5/2 market position justify 4 stars despite modest form figures of 73.

16/1 11/1 14/1

By top-class sprinter Starman out of smart sprinter Stormy Clouds, making him an appealing prospect at the minimum trip; the family is well established at 6f. A stable capable of producing winners first time out — our top-rated debutant and worth following in the market.

AI verdict

Influencer Man's mid-tier 144 Saturday Rating and 11/1 odds suggest market scepticism despite a competitive 9-7 weight.

By high-class sprinter Unfortunately and a half-brother to Sanaam, a very useful 7f performer — the speed heritage combined with a useful dam suggests significant ability at this trip. From a yard with a strong first-time-out strike-rate; priced to go well on debut.

AI verdict

A dominant Saturday Rating of 156 and commanding 4/9 odds signal strong market confidence despite carrying 9-7.

33/1 18/1 25/1

Colt by top-class middle-distance performer Churchill out of a fair miler — pedigree suggests this sprint trip may stretch him at this stage of his career. A modest purchase price and likely in need of experience on debut; one to watch later in the campaign.

AI verdict

Long odds of 22/1 and unknown form make Trumpety Trump a low-confidence 130-rated outsider carrying 9-7.

2-3303

Paul Mulrennan 14%

Jim Goldie 14%

10-5

6/4 11/10 3/2

Missed the break at Carlisle last time and had too much ground to make up on a trip that was arguably too short — beaten 2l off this same mark, and today's step up to 10f looks a clear positive. Consistent placer with a top course jockey/trainer pairing behind him.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 84 and fair odds of 11/8 are offset by top weight 10-5 and inconsistent form of 2-3303.

Kokanee

Age 4 · 10-1

45-261

Clifford Lee 17%

Ed Dunlop 12%

10-1

9/2 11/2 9/2

Won at Lingfield last time off a 4lb lower mark and has been generally consistent at this trip and on this going. The revised handicap figure demands more today; capable of running his race, but he will need to recapture that winning level.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-1 with a modest Saturday Rating of 78 and uninspiring recent form of 45-261 limits Kokanee's winning claims at 6/1.

Qitaal

Age 7 · 9-12

742523

Rowan Scott 11%

Charlie Johnston 13%

9-12

17/2 8/1 17/2

Back in form in his last two outings and handles this trip and going well; a mark of 76 looks workable on our top figure. A shade below his best as a 5l third at Beverley most recently, but the profile points his way and he holds strong claims.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-12 with a modest Saturday Rating of 73 and inconsistent form of 742523, Qitaal is unconvincing at 17/2.

Age 4 · 9-12

048102

Daniel Tudhope 18%

David O'Meara 13%

7/1 10/1 13/2

Back in the frame last time, second beaten 4l off this same mark after winning at Beverley three starts back off a lower rating. Handles this trip and going consistently well; our second-ranked runner and a leading threat to the selection.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-12 with a modest Saturday Rating of 68, poor recent form (048102), and unfancied at 12/1 makes Mao Shang Wong a weak contender.

Cisco Disco

Age 8 · 9-11

111-87

Oisin McSweeney 10%

R. Mike Smith 10%

9-11

40/1 33/1 40/1

Three wins from his last five starts overall, but this season has been a different story — well beaten here last time without obvious excuse. Acts best with cut in the ground, which is the concern on good today; the course record remains a compelling angle if he finds his earlier form.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-11 with a low Saturday Rating of 56 and weak 33/1 odds, Cisco Disco's form collapse from 111 to 87 confirms poor current conditions.

Age 5 · 9-11

473U/0

David Allan 13%

Tim Easterby 11%

9-11

66/1 33/1 66/1

Came back from a long absence and was well beaten at York most recently; that run was likely needed and it is not easy to assess his current level. First-time blinkers today; acts over this trip on a range of surfaces, but plenty to prove before he can be seriously fancied.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 47, bleak form of 473U/0, and 40/1 odds confirm Break The Bank holds little credible winning chance.

Thyer

Age 5 · 9-11

Leigh Roche 6%

Maurice Andrew Ahern 8%

9-11

5/1 5/2 5/1

Missed the break at The Curragh last time, left with too much to do, and beaten 3.25l off this same mark — the step up in trip here looks the key positive. First-time tongue-tie applied; a dropping mark and a trainer in good form provide some encouragement.

AI verdict

Thyer's mid-tier Saturday Rating of 74 and winless form of 0000-6 limit confidence despite accessible 5/2 odds and manageable 9-11 weight.

Ouro Preto

Age 5 · 9-8

10-797

Andrew Mullen 10%

Iain Jardine 12%

9-8

22/1 25/1 20/1

Beaten 8l at Carlisle last time in a continuation of modest form since joining his new yard; that trend is difficult to dismiss. Effective at 12f and ideally wants cut in the ground; neither the trip nor the conditions fully suit, and he is hard to recommend here.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 28/1, a low Saturday Rating of 45, and poor form figures of 10-797 make Ouro Preto an unconvincing contender.

Leonato

Age 3 · 8-12

9-342

Billy Loughnane 18%

George Boughey 18%

8-12

17/2 17/2 8/1

Acquitted himself well on handicap debut at Yarmouth last time, beaten 3.25l off this same mark, and there may be more to come with experience. First-time cheekpieces today; effective at this trip and possibly beyond, though his best surface has been quicker ground than he may encounter.

AI verdict

Leonato's modest Saturday Rating of 75, 8/1 odds, and uninspiring form figures of 9-342 suggest limited winning prospects.

Idyllic

Age 5 · 8-11

476-65

Paula Muir 10%

Wilf Storey 14%

8-11

40/1 28/1 33/1

This is her second run back from a wind operation with her mark below her best level — those are positives. Made excessive use of at Doncaster last time and needs to settle better here; effective at this trip and goes on the going, but improvement in tactics is essential.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 40 and poor form (476-65) at 33/1 makes Idyllic a remote outsider with little market support.

L J Morgan 12%

9-9

5/1 FCST 9/2

Caught up in traffic at Newcastle last time, which may flatter a beaten 9-length margin; first-time cheekpieces add interest and the trip suits his range. Yet to score in his last six, but worth considering if that latest run was below his best.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 46, inconsistent form (658036), and 15/2 odds signal limited market confidence in Abu Royal's winning prospects.

751934

Lauren Young 11%

Jim Goldie 14%

9-9

5/2 FCST 9/4

Denied a clear passage at Musselburgh last time and beaten only 1½ lengths — an unlucky fourth — which paints a flattering picture of current form. Handles the mile and this going well, has won in recent starts, and a top course trainer keeps him very interesting.

AI verdict

Inconsistent form (751934) and a mid-range Saturday Rating of 55 limit confidence despite fair 11/4 market odds.

Age 4 · 9-9

80-079

Sean Kirrane 11%

Alan Brown 9%

9-9

SP 16/1 20/1

Form has completely deserted him in recent starts, and he was left trailing at Beverley last time beaten 9 lengths. He is ideally suited to 7f on a sound surface rather than today's mile, which makes it hard to see how he can feature here.

AI verdict

Bantz draws a 1/5 rating due to a poor Saturday Rating of 35, weak 80-079 form, and unfancied 16/1 odds.

Freak Encounter

Age 4 · 9-9

0-9605

Rowan Scott 11%

Donald Whillans 13%

9-9

40/1 FCST 33/1

Held comfortably in a classified race here last time and yet to score throughout recent outings. A first-time tongue-tie suggests a breathing issue he still needs to demonstrate has been resolved; effective over 7-8f and acts on the going, but needs to show a good deal more.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 21, 50/1 odds, and poor form of 0-9605 leave Freak Encounter with no credible winning claims.

Age 10 · 9-9

David Allan 13%

R. Mike Smith 10%

9-9

11/1 12/1 11/1

Beaten 9 lengths here last time on what appeared unsuitably soft ground — today's better conditions are more in his favour, and first-time cheekpieces suggest connections are trying to find the spark again. Effective over 7-8f on this going; yet to score in recent outings and attitude is a concern.

AI verdict

Poor form (06-578), a weak Saturday Rating of 40, and 12/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects in this race.

Langholm

Age 10 · 9-9

0-0081

Rhys Elliott 7%

Michael Dods 12%

9-9

9/2 11/4 9/2

Won a handicap at Beverley by a nose last time when dropped back in distance, and he comes here in front-running style with both tongue-tie and cheekpieces for the first time. Acts on any going and this is a lower grade; stamina over today's extra furlong is the one query.

AI verdict

Langholm's mid-tier Saturday Rating of 57 and inconsistent form of 0-0081 justify a moderate 3/5 despite fair 11/4 market odds.

Millbuie

Age 5 · 9-9

448630

William Pyle 9%

Ewan Whillans 11%

9-9

9/1 12/1 8/1

Unplaced last time after setting too strong a pace too early at Hamilton; first-time tongue-tie and blinkers represent a significant change of gear. Effective over 8-12f on this going and in decent form before that effort — both pieces of new headgear give some hope if he settles better.

AI verdict

Millbuie's dismal form of 448630, lowly Saturday Rating of 41, and dismissed 12/1 odds signal negligible winning prospects.

Trais Fluors

Age 12 · 9-9

Paul Mulrennan 14%

Linda Perratt 10%

9-9

10/1 13/2 10/1

Left the stalls slowly at Newcastle again last time and found little when asked, well beaten. His hold-up style requires racing fortune and draw 12 is not ideal; effective at 7-8f on this going, and a top course jockey is an advantage.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 47, poor form reading 488507, and 7/1 odds reflect limited winning prospects for Trais Fluors.

Crystal Aurora

37-840

Andrew Mullen 10%

Ivan Furtado 10%

18/1 9/1 18/1

Pulled hard and was out of contention throughout at Beverley last time — form has been heading in the wrong direction in her last few runs. That said, she acts on the going and is well-treated on a mark of 50, making her a threat if more settled here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 50, weak form figures of 37-840, and 9/1 odds signal limited winning prospects at 9-0 weight.

Midnight Steppers

Age 3 · 9-0

0008

Clifford Lee 17%

Ed Dunlop 12%

22/1 14/1 22/1

Winless and barely competitive in four outings, finishing last or near-last throughout. Blinkers appear for the first time but there is little form to build on at an official mark of just 26 — and a different distance might suit better based on what she has shown.

AI verdict

Odds of 14/1, a Saturday Rating of just 21, and dismal form figures of 0008 offer no case for support.

Park Lane Penny

Age 3 · 9-0

Billy Loughnane 18%

Ivan Furtado 10%

9-0

6/1 FCST 11/2

Showed greenness and drifted under pressure at Southwell last time in novice company; lightly raced and not yet seen at her best in three starts. A trainer out of form (5 per cent recently) is a concern, though a step up in distance and scope for improvement keep her faintly interesting.

AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 50, poor form figures of 698, and 8/1 odds signal a weak market chance carrying 9-0.

Queenies Pal

Age 3 · 9-0

773-95

Jake Dickson 12%

50/1 33/1 50/1

Failed to produce her best when well beaten here last time off a similar mark, despite looking well placed. First-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces are new — she is effective at 6f and should be suited by this distance — yet to score in recent outings and needs more from these additions.

AI verdict

Queenies Pal rates 1/5 with a lowly Saturday Rating of 26, poor recent form of 773-95, and unfancied 33/1 odds.

10/1 12/1 9/1

Suited by 10f on this going, with a workable mark of 55 on his side. His latest outing — beaten 8 lengths at Newcastle — gives reason for caution, and he is yet to score in recent starts, but the conditions suit and he merits respect.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 39 combined with poor form (6368-7) and 14/1 odds signal a horse the market has firmly dismissed.

11/2 4/1 11/2

Placed here off this mark last time beaten 3 lengths, consistent in recent starts and effective across today's trip and going. Yet to score despite two placings in a row; first-time tongue-tie is a new angle and the yard has a strong record in this race.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-12 with a poor form string of -53533 and a low Saturday Rating of 53 undermines Off Spin's 4/1 market position.

A veteran on a mark that looks manageable, he acts well on the going and is effective up to 13f. But underwhelming of late — beaten over 6 lengths here last time — and his record in recent starts shows little consistency.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-11 with a Saturday Rating of 36, weak form of -53567, and drifting odds of 16/1 make Glasses Up a poor selection.

The trainer has failed to land a blow in the past fortnight (0 from 22), and she appeared outstayed beaten 6 lengths at Hamilton last time. A return to this trip on the right going is in her favour, but the stable's current form makes her a difficult proposition.

AI verdict

Recobella's weak Saturday Rating of 51, top weight of 9-10, and inconsistent form of 7-3525 justify the low 2/5 rating.

Landed a short-head at Hamilton two starts back and is back on the same mark here, acts on the going and stays this trip. Set too fast a pace last time out beaten 5 lengths, but the conditions suit and the top course yard's record counts.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-10 with a weak Saturday Rating of 49, inconsistent form of 2-8815, and ignored at 8/1 by the market signals limited winning prospects.

Shifter

11/2 5/1 11/2

Form has been heading in the right direction — placed here last time beaten just over 2 lengths — and she acts on any going over this trip, usually coming from off the pace. Yet to score in recent starts, but the mark looks workable.

AI verdict

Shifter's poor recent form (-98542) and low Saturday Rating of 49 make the 5/1 odds and 9-6 weight hard to justify.

Zebra Star

Beaten 3 lengths by the winner here last time at this mark, and handles Ayr and today's conditions well over the trip. Out of form for much of this year but that run hinted at revival — yet to score of late, though she is a chief danger.

AI verdict

Form reading 50-954 and a low Saturday Rating of 45 make Zebra Star a weak 7/1 chance carrying 9-3.

22/1 10/1 22/1

In modest form of late, beaten 12 lengths at Southwell most recently, and blinkers appear for the first time. Needs at least 10f to do his best and is more at home on an artificial surface; yet to score in recent starts but new gear worth noting.

AI verdict

Weak Saturday Rating of 46, uninspiring 555-54 form, and 12/1 odds signal the market holds little confidence in this 9-2 weighted runner.

Uncompetitive in three runs so far, including a tardy break at Leicester last time, and away for 83 days. Cheekpieces appear for the first time today, but breeding hints 6f-7f is his best trip rather than today's 10f — hard to fancy until he shows more.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 53 and poor form figures of 979 limit confidence despite competitive 4/1 odds and manageable 8-7 weight.

Ran at Musselburgh only yesterday — a very tight turnaround — and had little say in the outcome there, beaten comfortably. Ranked last on our figures and yet to score in his last six; the top course trainer provides faint hope, but there is little to work with here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of just 26, combined with 40/1 odds and form figures of 848867, highlight Sanny Doo's consistently poor performances.

Generally progressive on the way up but beaten 9l in a handicap at Epsom on his latest outing, where interference did not help his cause. Effective at the trip and handles this going; first-time cheekpieces fitted as he returns dropping back in grade.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 85 and fair 9/4 odds are undermined by a 10-2 weight burden and inconsistent recent form of 2/1-50.

14/1 FCST 12/1

Won off a 3lb lower mark at Pontefract three starts back and has generally been moving forward, but was unable to get into it when eighth at the mile last time, beaten 4.25l. Drops 1lb in mark today and acts at the trip and on this going; the revised figure may be just enough.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-0 with patchy form (0-3108) and a modest Saturday Rating of 81 at 11/1 limits confidence.

Beaten 15l last time in a step up in grade — conditions may not have suited — and sits at the foot of our ratings. Won at Hamilton two starts back off a 6lb lower mark; top course jockey/trainer pairing, but there is much to prove on these recent figures.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-0 at 25/1 with a Saturday Rating of 62 and inconsistent form of 61-010 limits confidence.

40/1 33/1 40/1

Beaten 10l at York last time without obvious excuse, a result consistent with a difficult season overall. Operates below his last winning mark here and acts at this trip and on the going, but his pattern this term makes him hard to support.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-12, rated just 62, and drifting to 33/1 in the market, Gweedore's 1-7040 form offers no winning case.

12/1 6/1 10/1

Beaten 9l at Ascot last time, though the context matters — she was separated from the main action and faced a significantly tougher assignment than today. A consistent performer at the trip and on this going; first-time tongue-tie, and the step down in class plays to her strengths.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-5 with inconsistent form 124-50 and a modest Saturday Rating of 85 at 9/1 limits confidence.

10/1 9/1 10/1

Narrowly beaten last time off a mark 4lb lower, and has previously won off today's level. Two wins in his last six starts underlines consistent form and he handles the sound surface well; our second-rated runner and a strong danger throughout.

AI verdict

Inconsistent form (571612) and a 9/1 market position undermine Leadenhall's Saturday Rating of 85 despite a manageable 9-5 weight.

22/1 12/1 20/1

Won at Wetherby in April and placed twice since, but well below that level when 10th last time without clear excuse. Same mark today and first-time cheekpieces fitted; acts at the trip on a sound surface, but needs to show his earlier consistency again.

AI verdict

Hale End's weak form (441220), high 9-3 weight, and 12/1 odds suggest the market holds little confidence despite a Saturday Rating of 73.

Andrew Mullen 10%

33/1 20/1 33/1

Held comfortably at Musselburgh last time over a trip beyond his optimum — proven at a mile and the distance question is the key caveat. Trainer operating well and he acts on this ground; needs to bounce back from that latest effort.

AI verdict

Rated just 66 with uninspiring 13P-35 form and dismissed at 25/1 by the market, Monoceros carries 9-1 with little winning appeal.

7/1 13/2 7/1

Progressive colt beaten three-quarters of a length at Hamilton last time on a step up in trip — the form suggests an inviting opening handicap mark. Effective at eight to nine furlongs on this going; our top-rated runner by some margin and the one to beat.

AI verdict

Bearish earns a mid-tier 3/5 with a Saturday Rating of 91, carrying 9-0 off consistent form 4-12 at 13/2.

10/3 4/1 3/1

Went down by a neck at Musselburgh last time back up in trip, off this same mark, the better of two consecutive improved efforts on returning to form. First-time cheekpieces fitted; versatile over trip and ground, and the top course trainer is an added advantage — a clear threat.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-13 with a Saturday Rating of 82 and inconsistent form of -20042 at 5/1 limits confidence to a mid-tier three stars.

Maurice Andrew Ahern 8%

9-11

6/4 5/4 3/2

Back in form with two placed efforts recently, including a close second off this same mark last time, and a first-time visor adds interest today. Acts on the going over today's trip; yet to score in his last five but the mark looks generous and he heads the field on our figures.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-11 with a Saturday Rating of 59 and uninspiring form of -00422 limits Toy Soldier's appeal despite fair odds of 11/8.

Consistent in recent starts, placing in her last couple including 2¼ lengths behind the winner at Hamilton last time off this same mark. Effective over 6-8f and handles the going well; yet to score of late but her record suggests she will fill a place.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-11 with a Saturday Rating of just 47 and uninspiring recent form of 235633 limits Penny Mountain's prospects at 17/2.

Beaten just a length at Carlisle last time off this very mark, and handles today's conditions well over 6-7f. Below the level at which he has previously done well and clearly capable of going close again — a chief danger even without a recent win.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-11 with a modest Saturday Rating of 54 and inconsistent form of 445734 limits confidence here.

Had to switch at Musselburgh five days ago but still went down by only half a length at this same mark. Handles any going over 5-7f; recent form suggests he is well placed off this rating and he is a genuine danger.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 49 and inconsistent form figures of 356363 offer little confidence at 17/2 carrying 9-11.

Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore 7%

40/1 28/1 40/1

Declined to start at Hamilton last time out — a serious concern in terms of temperament — and that makes a case for her very difficult to build, even with a trainer in form. She handles the going and is effective over 6f, but must first prove willing to race.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 26, 40/1 odds, and a form string showing a refusal make South Road an extremely unlikely winner.

Beaten a neck at Musselburgh last time in a race where he encountered traffic problems at a key stage — an unlucky effort at this same mark that suggests he is in good heart. Suits today's trip and going; yet to score in his last five but form is trending upward.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 53 and inconsistent form (25-032) at 9-5 weight offer little confidence at 6/1.

6/1 7/2 11/2

Won a classified race here last time showing her best when ridden handily on ground with some give; effective across a wide range of trips. Reverting to handicap company raises the bar and she can be unreliable, but clearly in form and a chief danger.

AI verdict

Recent form shows a win two runs ago but inconsistent results, a 65 Saturday Rating, and 9/2 odds suggest mid-tier contention.

28/1 22/1 28/1

Well beaten at Hamilton last time when cheekpieces proved counterproductive; in decent form before that effort and returns to a distance that suits at 5-6f on this going. The top course trainer is an asset, though she needs to bounce back from that disappointing final run.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of just 26, weak form figures of 54-357, and 22/1 odds confirm minimal winning prospects here.

33/1 28/1 33/1

Missed the start at Musselburgh just five days ago and was out of it throughout; out of form across several starts and at his best on an artificial surface rather than today's turf. A top course jockey and trainer combination provides slim interest but there is too little to work with.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 22 combined with 33/1 odds and poor form reading -08790 make Bonito Cavalo uncompetitive at 9-3.

50/1

Back from a layoff of over eight months and with nothing of note to show over 7-8f in her career to date. The trainer's recent record (5 per cent from 43 runners) offers little encouragement, and she is best passed over on her first outing after such an absence.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 23 combined with 50/1 odds and a dismal form string of 69706- make Bring Her Home an extremely weak contender.

80/1

Pulled too hard at Musselburgh last time and was beaten comfortably as a result; breeding suggests shorter trips suit better than today's 7f. A first-time hood is an attempt to settle her, but she has only beaten a handful of rivals in her five outings so far.

AI verdict

An 80/1 outsider with a Saturday Rating of just 27 and form figures of 0978-5 offer no winning case.
