11-10

8/11 FCST 9/17

Back-to-back wins, the latest a comfortable success at Punchestown, leave this gelding well fancied to complete the hat-trick; that form has since been boosted and the stable's strength suggests more to come off just a short break, though this deeper field is the obvious test.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 137 and strong 511- form justify 4/5 stars despite short 4/7 odds suggesting limited value.

4/1 11/4 3/1

A comfortable Wexford success last time, achieved on a step up in trip, points to physical progress, and today's trip and ground both look within range; a moderate run of form before that leaves this gelding with questions to answer at this level.

AI verdict

Karlynn's solid 113 Saturday Rating and encouraging 645-21 form are offset by 11-6 weight and non-favourite 4/1 market position.

Yet to threaten in its last three starts for a new yard, with the latest effort at Punchestown hinting the trip stretched its stamina; sporting a first-time hood and best around 7f, conditions here look a stretch given the modest recent form.

AI verdict

Odds of 125/1, a Saturday Rating of 122, and poor form reading 700 reflect little market confidence in Evangelic.

Successful in bumpers in France, this gelding was worn down late after a mistake-strewn round, finishing second beaten 10 lengths at Cork last time, though that form has since been boosted. A first-time tongue-tie and a powerful stable add appeal despite a modest hurdles tally.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-0 with a Saturday Rating of 120 and solid 45202 form, Mino Des Mottes offers strong each-way value at 7/2.

80/1 FCST 50/1

An inconsistent sort across both codes, this gelding unseated last time out and has a little to prove on recent evidence, though conditions and trip both look suitable; a yard short on winners and a mixed profile make it hard to trust.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 66/1 and poor form figures of 6U- leave Pebble Island with little to recommend despite carrying 11-0.

8/1 14/1 15/2

Successful in a Listed race on the Flat, this gelding should enjoy a return to hurdles and a shorter trip after finding a stiff 12-furlong test at The Curragh beyond him last time. A first-time tongue-tie may help, with adapting back to timber the only thing to prove.

AI verdict

Puppet Master's 134 Saturday Rating shows potential, but 16/1 odds and a single run form figure of 8 limit confidence.

100/1 FCST 50/1

Switching disciplines could be the making of this gelding, since modest Flat form may not reflect his potential over hurdles, and he is among the more highly rated here for that reason. A below-par run down the field last time and a yard short on winners, though, temper the enthusiasm somewhat.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 125/1 and a single-run form figure of 0 undermine a Saturday Rating of 123.

A promising debut third, beaten 13 lengths in a maiden hurdle at Roscommon, hints this filly has more to offer, backed up by useful placed form on the level in Germany; a first-time hood may help, but the modest rating leaves her hard to fancy from this rank.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 14/1 and a single run form figure of 3 limit confidence despite a solid Saturday Rating of 141.

7/1 15/2 7/1

Fitness is the obvious question given a fall and a below-par run among recent starts, but this gelding showed promise when third, beaten 5 1/2 lengths, at Bellewstown last time, fresh from just a short break; conditions and trip both look suitable if he stays sound.

AI verdict

Laxxio's weak form (F43P3-), big 17/2 odds, and modest 94 Saturday Rating combine to justify a cautious 2-star assessment.

Poor recent form has followed this gelding to a new yard, and a below-par effort at Limerick last time did little to inspire; a fair mark on UK form offers hope, with today's trip and ground in his favour, but he has yet to settle since the move.

AI verdict

Long odds of 28/1, poor form figures of 09, and a Saturday Rating of 117 expose Loyal Touch as an outsider with little winning chance.

7/4 FCST 5/4

A promising hurdling debut at Ballinrobe, filling the runner-up spot beaten 6 1/2 lengths after a break, points to more improvement now fully tuned up. Conditions and trip both suit, and cheekpieces go on for the first time, with only limited experience over hurdles the slight concern.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 152 combined with competitive 15/8 odds and consistent form figures justify four-star potential.

A frustrating sort at times, this gelding failed to complete when running out last time at Clonmel, but he has otherwise been a fairly reliable frame-filler over hurdles; conditions and trip both look suitable, with jumping cleanly the main thing needed to see more.

AI verdict

Sent off at 10/1 with a modest Saturday Rating of 92 and patchy form of 564-3O, Whats New lacks market confidence.

Out of sorts on the level recently, with a below-par run at Navan last time doing nothing to change that, this mare has plenty to prove back over hurdles; a first-time tongue-tie and only a short break offer some hope, though the recent form gives little to go on.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 50/1, poor form of U0/, and a Saturday Rating of 123 justify only 2 stars.

Modest efforts have followed this gelding's hurdling debut, with the Downpatrick run last time showing little progress; a yard without a winner recently adds to the concerns, though he does act well on heavy and today's conditions and trip suit. More time looks needed before he's competitive.

AI verdict

Long shot at 50/1 with poor form figures of 5-579 and a Saturday Rating of 121 justify the 2-star assessment.

A narrow runner-up on his only start, beaten half a length in a bumper at Tramore, this gelding was sent off favourite but had to settle for second. A lengthy absence since is the concern, but a powerful stable suggests more to come now switching to hurdles, with conditions and trip both suiting.

AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 152 and strong 2- form justify 4/5 stars despite 11-4 weight and 9/4 odds without favouritism.

Consistency is the calling card, with frame finishes including third, beaten 3 1/4 lengths, at Sligo last time continuing a pattern set since a solid debut defeat by a useful rival. Conditions look no obstacle, and a first-time hood may help find the finishing effort still missing.

AI verdict

Consistent form figures of 3223-3 and a Saturday Rating of 102 at 11/2 odds suggest a reliable but win-shy contender.

A drop in trip did this gelding no favours at Punchestown last time, where the pace proved too hot down the field; he looks better suited by further and more of a fit for handicaps. A return to a stiffer trip is likely needed to show his real form.

AI verdict

Odds of 80/1, poor form of P-60, and a Saturday Rating of 121 signal minimal winning prospects for Million Dollar Man.

66/1 FCST 50/1

A modest hurdling debut at Downpatrick, hampered by jumping errors, leaves this gelding needing to bounce back, with inconsistent bumper form before that offering little encouragement either; conditions and trip both look fine, but there is little in the book yet to inspire confidence.

AI verdict

Sent off at 66/1 with a form string of 4646-7 and a Saturday Rating of 121, Paymelater offers little reason for confidence.

On his best form this gelding carries a fair mark, but there's no hiding from a well-held effort in a handicap at Kilbeggan last time. Conditions and trip both suit, and he's fresh from just a short break, though he needs to rediscover that form to feature.

AI verdict

Kasper Hauser's poor form (P852-5), 9/1 odds, and low Saturday Rating of 101 signal limited winning prospects at 11-0.

Two fallen finishes preceded a well-beaten run at Punchestown last time, painting a difficult recent picture, even though his debut form has since been boosted at a higher level. He still has plenty to prove and looks more of a fit for a lowly handicap than a factor here.

AI verdict

Rated 120 but priced at 125/1 with a falls-heavy form of F-F0, the market shows no confidence in this 11-0 weighted outsider.

66/1 FCST 50/1

Racing too keenly proved the undoing of this gelding on his only start, a well-beaten bumper run here, and there's plenty to find educationally now switching to hurdles. A first-time hood may aid settling, and he's fresh from just a short break, but the concerns are obvious.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 123 is undermined by weak form (7-) and dismissive 50/1 odds suggesting no market confidence.

A below-par effort last time out follows a game third, beaten just a length, in a conditions event at The Curragh that shows this gelding can mix it at a good level, and cut in the ground should suit. First-time cheekpieces and a powerful stable add interest, though he can be tricky to fathom.

AI verdict

Form of 43260- and 7/1 market position suggest mid-tier ability, with 114 Saturday Rating reflecting inconsistent recent results.

A below-par effort up in trip down the field in a bumper at Wexford last time leaves plenty to find on this mare's hurdling debut, and conditions alone won't be enough to turn things round; she remains an unknown quantity at best on this evidence.

AI verdict

Extreme 125/1 odds and poor form figures of 9-60 undermine Double Order's Saturday Rating of 124 entirely.

40/1 28/1 40/1

Modest bumper form, capped by a well-held run at Hexham last time, gives little to work with for this mare's switch to hurdles, though earlier flickers of promise suggest more may follow. A first-time tongue-tie and suitable conditions offer some hope, but a yard short on winners doesn't help.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 125 shows solid ability, but 28/1 odds and weak 0-45 form undermine confidence significantly.

A modest introduction down the field in an amateur riders' bumper at Aintree last time leaves this gelding needing to step forward on both his point-to-point and bumper form. He's fresh from just a short break, but there's little in the book yet to inspire real confidence.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 20/1 and poor form figures of 43-0 give G N Jefferson little appeal despite a Saturday Rating of 127.

66/1 FCST 50/1

A daughter of Poet's Word making her debut, this filly is a half-sister to Shirley's The Boss, who found 16 furlongs too far, and the stable isn't renowned for a strong hit-rate under rules. With no bumper experience behind her, she looks one to watch rather than back with confidence.

AI verdict

Willows Word's 80/1 odds and unknown form justify a weak 2-star rating despite a Saturday Rating of 127.

80/1 FCST 50/1

A well-beaten effort on his hurdling debut at Ballinrobe last time gives little encouragement, and this gelding otherwise looks up against stronger rivals on this form; his best form to date has come around 13 furlongs, so today's test remains an open question rather than a formality.

AI verdict

Rated 121 but carrying 11-4 on debut form of 0 at 150/1 in the market makes a win unlikely.

A narrow defeat off a lower mark at Listowel last time, beaten just half a length, keeps this gelding firmly involved on solid recent form including a win among his last four. The yard is in good form and a first-time tongue-tie adds appeal on a fair mark, though he must prove he can turn placed efforts into victories at this level.

AI verdict

Becasse's solid 121 Saturday Rating and consistent form (1/2-U2) are offset by a demanding 11-12 weight and 11/2 odds suggesting limited market confidence.

A useful mare in both codes, she was successful by 4 1/4 lengths off a much lower mark last time out. Now racing off a career-high rating, a well-beaten run on the level three starts back under a stiffer mark is a mild concern, though conditions and trip suit.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 130 and consistent form (/7221-) are offset by a punishing weight of 11-11 at 4/1.

A mixed recent record, including a pulled-up run and a fall, is balanced by a solid third, beaten 4 1/4 lengths, in a rated event at Wexford last time, fresh from a break. Conditions and trip both suit, first-time cheekpieces may sharpen him, and there should be more to come.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-10 with inconsistent form of F/3P-3 and weak market confidence at 12/1 limits this horse to 2/5 stars.

A progressive sort on the Flat, this gelding found a stiff mark too strong in a juvenile handicap hurdle at Cheltenham last time, but he drops back in company today for a powerful stable. A first-time tongue-tie and time off add slight uncertainty, though he rates among the leading players.

Barbizon's solid 115 Saturday Rating and recent win in form are undermined by 14/1 odds and burdensome 11-9 weight.

A modest run of finishes includes a well-held effort at Kilbeggan last time, where racing too freely took its toll on stamina; today's drop back in trip could suit a formerly useful sort, and ground on the sounder side is needed, though a yard short on winners doesn't inspire confidence.

AI verdict

Rated just 96 with poor form of /20-36 and dismissed by the market at 25/1, Encanto Bruno lacks the credentials to compete.

A success by half a length off a much lower mark here in April has since been backed up by a solid third, beaten 4 lengths, off the same mark last time. Conditions and trip both suit, and this gelding looks capable of better again with more positive tactics.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-9 with patchy form of 8605-3, a Saturday Rating of 123 at 11/2 suggests mid-tier potential.

A mixed recent record for this gelding includes a below-par effort at Limerick last time, where going too soon proved costly, though a win is also among his last five starts; conditions look suitable, but climbing too high in the weights back over hurdles is the obvious concern here.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-7 with weak 33/1 odds and a Saturday Rating of 90, Autumn Twist's form figures of 185P6 justify only 2 stars.

A run of setbacks, capped by failing to complete in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan last time, leaves this gelding with plenty to prove, and he may be better suited by fences long-term. Front-running tactics play to his strengths and first-time cheekpieces could help, but stamina beyond 2 1/2 miles remains unproven.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-7, rated just 85, and showing a form string of FP9P-P at 40/1, the market has correctly dismissed Lisnamult Lad.

Conditions look suitable and a first-time tongue-tie is fitted, but he otherwise rates towards the back of this field on official figures.

Conditions and trip both suit and a first-time hood is added, though he rates only a modest chance on official figures.

Carrying top weight of 11-6 at 16/1 with a Saturday Rating of 113, Missus Beeton's inconsistent form (94117-) undermines any each-way appeal.

A Saturday Rating of 96, weak 455-PU form, and 16/1 odds signal a horse the market has firmly dismissed.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 113 and manageable weight of 11-4 are offset by uninspiring 10-632 form and 10/1 market dismissal.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 114 and recent form showing a win offset by inconsistency at 7/1 and 11-1 weight limits the confidence.

20/1

A well-beaten effort in a handicap hurdle at Listowel last time continues a modest recent run, and there's a sense his mark already reflects his form. Conditions and trip both suit and a first-time tongue-tie is added, but little in recent starts inspires much confidence.

AI verdict

Rated just 93 with poor form reading 5P9-47 and drifting to 20/1, Fast Felix carries 10-13 against superior market rivals.

A needed run showed in this gelding's last start, ridden too prominently down the field in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown, though that experience should sharpen him for today. A fairly consistent sort in maidens who may do better now handicapping, he returns from just a short break with a first-time tongue-tie, but he still rates near the bottom of this field.

AI verdict

Minella Post's Saturday Rating of 105 and 10-13 weight are workable, but 12/1 odds and poor form (554/0-) limit confidence.

A bumper winner, this mare's form has dipped over hurdles, mistakes contributing to a well-beaten effort at Punchestown last time. Two miles on softer ground should suit, and connections were successful in this race a year ago, but she needs to recapture that bumper-winning spark now over hurdles to feature.

AI verdict

At 50/1 with a form reading of 18/P-0 and a Saturday Rating of 120, Bold Reflection offers no market confidence.

Considered a leading threat, she was below her best in an under-par third, beaten ten lengths at Downpatrick last time. Suited by two miles three on yielding and sporting a first-time hood, though repeating that recent dip would be the obvious concern up in this company.

A repeatedly placed performer in points, she brings solid form into this sphere even though her rules debut brought only a well-beaten ninth at Downpatrick three weeks ago. There should be more to come as she adapts to hurdling, but proving that under rules remains the obvious risk.

A daughter of Jukebox Jury on her first start, this mare is half-sister to Snap Fish, a fair performer at three miles. The yard is a little quiet currently, so she's perhaps one to note on this debut, with more to assess once she's had a run under these conditions.

Stepped down in grade and trip when a close second, beaten just half a length, in a maiden hurdle at Kilbeggan last time - a much better effort than his earlier starts suggested. A mixed record and top weight on a testing opening mark are the concerns, even with first-time cheekpieces added.

Without a win in four starts, he was comfortably held in a handicap hurdle at Clonmel last time, with that run possibly bringing him forward off a break. He handles today's ground and a rating of 111 keeps him competitive, with the form of his earlier efforts said to be working out well.

AI verdict

Midfield Saturday Rating of 104, unfavoured 11/2 odds, and inconsistent 438-6 form limit Le Kap's appeal at 11-1 weight.

Winless in five starts, he ran to a fair level when beaten nine lengths in a handicap hurdle at Kilbeggan last time, having had a lot of ground to make up. A good mark on his form over fences, first-time cheekpieces and tongue-tie, plus course-and-distance experience over this longer trip, work in his favour, and he's respected at 113.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-0 with weak form of 2PP-65 and a modest Saturday Rating of 87 at 12/1 limits confidence.

A mixed record over hurdles, including a win three runs back, was undermined when she parted with her jockey at Downpatrick last time, leaving her form hard to trust. She races well on good ground at shorter trips, and a rating of 111 keeps her in the mix, but the inconsistency is the clear concern.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-0 with a modest Saturday Rating of 93, inconsistent form of 2105-U, and unfancied odds of 11/1 limits confidence.

Without a win in five starts, he raced too freely and was caught late when fourth, beaten 28 lengths, in a handicap hurdle at Listowel latest. He's up to today's trip and ground, and first-time cheekpieces plus tongue-tie could help settle him, with a workable rating of 110 offering a sliver of hope if his level does hold up.

AI verdict

Form of 053-U4 and a Saturday Rating of 95 at 10-12 weight offer little confidence at 9/1.

Winless in five starts, he jumped and travelled poorly, finishing down the field in a handicap chase at Tramore last time, on a track that may not have suited. Earlier form was better, and he handles decent ground up to today's trip, but a rating of 102 - bottom of this field - leaves plenty to prove.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 76, poor form (43F-09), and 25/1 odds signal minimal market confidence in Midnight Moonshine's chances.

Generally consistent without a win in five runs, he was well beaten down the field in a handicap hurdle at Sligo last time, a below-par effort after solid form before that. First-time blinkers, a notable jockey booking and course-and-distance form on ground he handles all boost his claims, with a rating of 111 keeping him in the reckoning.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 100 and patchy form reading 2433-9 at 10-11 weight justify a mid-tier 3/5 rating at 7/1.

Consistent in easier company but yet to fire now handicapping, he was well beaten down the field in a handicap hurdle at Down Royal last time, his first try at this level. A long break since, a stayer's profile and conditions he handles offer hope, and a rating of 111 keeps him in the mix if that maiden form transfers.

AI verdict

Rated 98 with winless form (42050-) and carrying 10-10 at 8/1, Mavetherave shows moderate potential without strong market confidence.

Without a win in five starts, his first handicap proved tough, finishing down the field in a handicap hurdle at Naas last time. A long absence and a step up in trip make this a fresh test, and though a shrewd yard could find improvement, his best form has come at shorter trips, leaving him hard to fancy at 107.

AI verdict

Rated just 89 with poor form (55309-) and sent off at 14/1, Justatan lacks market confidence or recent form to justify support.

Winless in five starts, he stepped forward again when upped in trip, finishing second beaten two lengths in a maiden hurdle at Tramore last time. Now sent handicapping for the first time with even further ground to travel in his favour, he could progress again, though a modest rating of 102 keeps him towards the bottom of this field.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 92 paired with inconsistent form figures of 32-872 and 11/1 odds signal limited winning prospects.

Rated well below his maiden form, he was ridden for the longer haul when beaten just over nine lengths in a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time, having had too much ground to make up. Course-and-distance form, conditions he handles and first-time cheekpieces make him a big threat at 117 for all his modest mark, with a lack of a win his one query.

AI verdict

Accustomed's poor form (62P0-5), long 9/1 odds, and modest Saturday Rating of 96 make this 10-3 burden difficult to justify.

Without a win in five starts, he lacked the gears for a shorter trip and was well held in a handicap hurdle at Wexford last time, a drop in distance that clearly didn't suit. He wants at least today's longer trip, and with course-and-distance form, first-time cheekpieces and a mark with room to rise, he has claims at 111, that below-par run perhaps bringing him forward.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 79, poor form (4448-5), and 20/1 odds signal a horse the market has largely dismissed.

15/2 13/2 7/1

A debut win that has since been franked by subsequent form marks him as a smart prospect, and he confirmed that promise when fourth, beaten 11 lengths, in a step up in grade under penalty in a bumper at Listowel last time. Course-and-distance form on ground he handles and clear room for improvement make him a big threat at 119.

AI verdict

Caman Hill's solid 139 Saturday Rating and winning form are tempered by 12-0 weight and 7/1 market position suggesting limited confidence.

An eye-catching surprise on his only start, he won a bumper at Punchestown by three lengths on debut, a shock result that may still undersell his true ability. Course-and-distance form and ground he handles are in his favour, leaving him fairly assessed at 113 with more expected to come.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 148 and winning form are offset by top weight of 12-0 and 4/1 non-favourite market position.

Building on a debut experience, he took advantage of a pace meltdown to land a bumper at Kilbeggan by three lengths last time, though that form looks modest on inspection. He does have course-and-distance claims and acts well on this ground, but a rating of just 110 leaves him hard to fancy against this field.

AI verdict

Rokanako's strong Saturday Rating of 147 and competitive 5/1 market odds justify 4 stars despite limited form.

A promising debut win in a bumper at Wexford by three lengths leaves room for more, even if that form carries a few question marks. His yard has landed this race before, and back after a break, he's a fair contender at 113.

AI verdict

Solid form (3-1) and a competitive 151 Saturday Rating are offset by a hefty 11-10 weight and 7/2 market position suggesting non-favourite status.

A first-time runner out of a dam who failed to complete in points, he's by Conduit for a yard better known for point success but capable of readying sorts for a bumper debut. There's some interest in him at 111, though he remains up in the air on account of his complete lack of experience.

AI verdict

Dismissed by the market at 28/1 carrying top weight 11-7, Begorrah Boy's Saturday Rating of 121 offers little confidence against likely stronger rivals.

Without a win in five runs, he shaped better than the result suggests when beaten seven lengths in a bumper at Punchestown last time, having shown a little promise in points before that. Course-and-distance conditions suit, and there should be more to come, leaving him with claims at 112.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 25/1 and poor form figures of 5P65-6 make Go Loud a low-confidence 121-rated runner.

Rated on potential rather than the form shown, he was green and never involved in a bumper at Clonmel most recent, though that inexperience is easily forgiven. There's plenty for connections to unlock yet, and after a break to sharpen him, he's a leading contender at 115 - his modest form to date the obvious catch.

Sent off at 125/1 with a form reading of /P/0-0, I Give Theorders showed no winning credentials despite carrying 11-7.

An eye-catching third on his sole start, beaten just three and a half lengths in a bumper at Punchestown, points to a bright future. Conditions and course-and-distance form suit, and there should be more to come with that debut experience now banked, making him a leading threat at 118.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 150 and recent third-place form at 5/2 odds suggest mid-tier potential without favourite market confidence.

Little to work with so far, he was travelling in midfield at a big price when he lost his footing mid-race on his bumper debut, and drew a blank in his point starts beforehand. There's not much evidence to build a case on, leaving him one to monitor rather than fully trust at 115.

AI verdict

Long-shot odds of 66/1, poor form figures of P/PS, and a heavy weight of 11-7 undermine Woodie Wiley's Saturday Rating of 118.

66/1 FCST 50/1

Winless in two starts, he couldn't build on a strong debut when down the field in a bumper at Thurles last time, and returns now after a lengthy break. That solid opening effort suggests a bounce-back is possible, and course-and-distance conditions are in his corner, but a rating of just 110 makes him hard to trust.

AI verdict

Long odds of 66/1, poor form figures of 69-, and top weight of 11-7 leave Yanure with little Saturday Rating appeal.

Overly keen and well beaten on his only start, in a bumper for four-year-olds at Down Royal, he clearly has more to offer for a powerful stable. His connections have a solid record in this event, and course-and-distance conditions suit, but a modest rating of 105 leaves him with a mountain to climb.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 123 is undermined by weak form of 7 and a 33/1 outsider market position.

A half-brother to Fourtowns, who was fair over two miles, he's out of a dam placed in a bumper and bred by Pillar Coral. With no racing form yet to judge, he's one to note on debut rather than fully trusted at 115.

Long odds of 33/1 and unknown form leave Mr Enigma with a Saturday Rating of 123 but little market confidence.

Raw and well beaten on her only start, in a bumper at Punchestown, she clearly needed that experience under her belt. First-time visor and a fresh opportunity give her a chance to progress, but she still has plenty to prove at 115 after that below-par debut.

A Saturday Rating of 124 shows ability, but 125/1 odds and a form figure of 0 undermine confidence.

Well beaten on her sole start, in a bumper at Naas, she has a stack of ground to find on that evidence. A lengthy break since could bring improvement, but with major progress still needed, she's up against it at 115 on what she has shown so far.

Outsider odds of 125/1 and a single poor form figure of 6 indicate minimal winning chances despite carrying 11-0.

A creditable third, beaten eight and a quarter lengths, in a maiden bumper at Kelso last time hinted at more to come after a flawed debut. Course-and-distance conditions suit and she's fresh from a break, but a modest rating of 107 leaves her with work to do against this field.

AI verdict

Silk Buds carries top weight of 11-0 into a race where her 18/1 odds and poor P-3 form undermine her 135 Saturday Rating.

Boosted form from a six-length win in a maiden at Ballindenisk gives her a standout profile, and she joins a yard capable of producing first-time-out bumper winners, with a strong record in this race too. On all known evidence she's the one to beat at 128, with the step up into this company the only thing left to confirm.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 156 and perfect form figure back a 5/1 shot carrying 10-10 competitively without market favouritism.
