Louis The Fifth

Age 2 · 9-7

—

Callum Rodriguez 20%

Michael Bell 13%

—

152

9-7

7/4 FCST 31/19

A No Nay Never colt bought for 215,000 euros at the breeze-ups and half-brother to a very useful 5-6f performer — Louis The Fifth has the pedigree credentials to make a bold debut showing; dam was a smart juvenile at 8f. Worth taking seriously on breeding alone.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 152 and competitive 15/8 odds suggest solid market confidence despite carrying 9-7.

By Jove Grace

Age 2 · 9-2

—

Oisin Orr 14%

Richard & Peter Fahey 10%

—

137

9-2

20/1 12/1 18/1

An Inns Of Court filly bought for £70,000 at the breeze-ups — By Jove Grace has an able dam at 6f and makes her first start here. Connections are experienced but she is probably one to monitor rather than back on debut unless the market suggests otherwise.

AI verdict

At 16/1 odds and an unproven form record, By Jove Grace's Saturday Rating of 137 fails to justify market confidence.

In The Black

Age 2 · 9-2

—

P. J. McDonald 14%

Geoff Oldroyd 19%

—

153

9-2

10/3 4/1 10/3

Closely related to a high-class 6f performer and out of a very useful 5f dam — In The Black is a 320,000gns Havana Grey filly with strong physical appeal and top breeding for a 2yo contest; holds genuine appeal for a first start. The main risk is the unknown of a first racecourse start.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 153 and competitive 4/1 odds at 9-2 weight signal solid winning claims despite non-favourite market status.

Queen Of Christmas

Age 2 · 9-2

Clifford Lee 17%

K. R. Burke 20%

—

156

9-2

5/4

Experience counts from a debut fifth — Queen Of Christmas came behind a subsequent Group-race candidate at Nottingham and now steps into what looks a gentler opportunity; the stable excels with its youngsters at this venue and she arrives with a debut experience to call on. Should take a clear forward step second time out.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 156 combined with competitive 11/10 odds and light 9-2 weight offset only by a single fifth-place form figure.

Enhancing

Age 2 · 9-2

Rowan Scott 11%

Hugo Palmer 13%

—

151

9-2

11/2 9/2 11/2

Shaped with encouragement on debut at Newbury — not disgraced over today's distance on good to firm going — and now gets a tongue-tie for the first time to help Enhancing settle. Good connections and scope for improvement suggest a more forward display is on the cards.

AI verdict

Mid-range 151 Saturday Rating and single-run form figure of 8 at 5/1 suggest potential but limit confidence.

Independent Roze

Age 2 · 9-2

—

Faye McManoman 7%

Lisa Williamson 8%

—

125

9-2

80/1 50/1 80/1

A Bangkok filly out of a useful 5f dam and half-sister to a moderate performer at 6f — Independent Roze is on debut here with modest pedigree angles and our figures rank her last. Hard to be bullish here unless the market provides a positive steer.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 125 with 50/1 odds signals the market holds little confidence in this 9-2 weighted outsider.

Love Tanya

Age 2 · 9-2

—

Connor Beasley 13%

Edward Bethell 17%

—

151

9-2

5/1 7/2 9/2

A well-bred Blue Point filly bought for 110,000 euros — Love Tanya is half-sister to a smart stayer and from connections capable of producing a forward debut performance. Worth a look on breeding and connections alone.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 151 combined with fair 9/2 market odds and competitive 9-2 weight justify four stars.

Ruby Moon

Age 2 · 9-2

—

Oisin Orr 14%

Richard & Peter Fahey 10%

—

150

9-2

5/1

A No Nay Never filly half-sister to a useful 7f performer — Ruby Moon arrives on debut with a fair family profile but our figures rank her fourth, and the pedigree suggests she faces a stiff ask on debut without a clear market move.

AI verdict

Ruby Moon's mid-tier Saturday Rating of 150 and 11/2 odds suggest fair but unspectacular market confidence for a non-favourite carrying 9-2.

Silesia

Age 2 · 9-2

323

Kevin Stott 15%

Kevin Ryan 12%

—

163

9-2

4/6 FCST 2/3

Three outings without a win but placed on every start, Silesia is appearing to need the step to 6f to show her best — she found the pace of the front pair too hot last time at Beverley over five furlongs. Acts on good to soft and good, and looks the most solid prospect in this field.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 163 and competitive 8/11 odds support Silesia's consistent 323 form at 9-2.

Mia Fantasia

Age 2 · 9-7

—

Oisin Orr 14%

Hugo Palmer 13%

—

146

9-7

15/2 5/1 15/2

A 40,000 euros Make Believe colt out of a dam who showed fair ability at 8f and half-brother to a useful mare — Mia Fantasia debuts for strong connections who are more than capable of having a juvenile ready first time. Worth watching the market before dismissing.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 146 at 6/1 odds suggests mid-tier potential, with 9-7 weight limiting upside against stronger market rivals.

Parry Green

Age 2 · 9-7

—

Faye McManoman 7%

Lisa Williamson 8%

—

123

9-7

100/1 66/1 100/1

A Massaat gelding out of a moderate dam, with a half-brother who showed fair form at 7f — Parry Green makes his debut here and our figures rank him last of eleven. Hard to fancy unless betting points the other way.

AI verdict

Long-shot odds of 66/1 and unknown form make Parry Green an unconvincing 123-rated outsider with little market confidence.

Platinum Force

Age 2 · 9-7

—

Callum Rodriguez 20%

Michael Bell 13%

—

146

9-7

13/2 5/1 6/1

A 50,000 euros Blackbeard half-brother to a useful 6f performer — Platinum Force is bred to run well as a juvenile and debuts for connections with a strong record preparing youngsters; deserves plenty of respect on his first outing.

AI verdict

Rated 146 on Saturday Rating with 11/2 odds and 9-7 weight, Platinum Force shows mid-tier potential without favourite market support.

Social Spirit

Age 2 · 9-7

Billy Garritty 11%

Michael & David Easterby 10%

—

151

9-7

evn 18/13 10/11

Posted two starts showing progression, including a solid effort at Epsom in a stronger 2yo heat, and the step up to 7f here is an angle that could help Social Spirit — versatile from 5-6f on good to soft and good to firm. Should be competitive, though up against respected debutants.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 151 combined with competitive 11/8 odds and solid form figures justify strong market confidence.

Telegraphic

Age 2 · 9-7

—

Connor Beasley 13%

Charlie Johnston 13%

—

141

9-7

8/1

A Kameko colt half-brother to a very useful 6f performer out of a moderate dam — Telegraphic makes his debut with an interesting sibling profile and is one to treat with respect; the market will reveal how confident connections are going in.

AI verdict

Telegraphic's solid Saturday Rating of 141 is undermined by 10/1 odds suggesting limited market confidence at 9-7 weight.

The First Drop

Age 2 · 9-7

—

M. P. Sheehy 8%

Adrian Keatley 15%

—

136

9-7

25/1 14/1 22/1

A Lope Y Fernandez colt out of a moderate dam — The First Drop makes his debut here and connections have shown they can have a juvenile primed first time; one to watch in the market before writing off.

AI verdict

Long odds of 14/1 and an unproven form record make The First Drop a weak 136-rated outsider in this market.

King Of Persia

Age 2 · 9-4

Sean Kirrane 11%

Tim Easterby 11%

—

135

9-4

28/1 16/1 25/1

Unable to land a blow on debut here at Carlisle — beaten six-and-a-half lengths in a maiden — King Of Persia is trained by a top course handler and improvement is expected from that first outing; our figures rank him fifth and he should move forward.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 135 shows ability, but 16/1 odds and a single seventh-place form figure limit confidence.

Ricky Punting

Age 2 · 9-4

426

Jason Hart 14%

Tom Dascombe 12%

—

150

9-4

13/2 FCST 6/1

Below par at Pontefract last time when held in first-time cheekpieces — finding little and well beaten after being off the pace — Ricky Punting now steps up to 7f, which suits, and tries the gear again. A clear rebound is required; prior form showed enough to suggest improvement is possible.

AI verdict

Ricky Punting's moderate 150 Saturday Rating, 6/1 odds, and inconsistent 426 form justify a mid-tier 3/5 rating.

Be More Ruthless

Age 2 · 8-13

—

Duran Fentiman 7%

Adrian Nicholls 13%

—

127

8-13

33/1 22/1 28/1

A Rajasinghe filly out of a smart 5f dam and half-sister to a useful stayer — Be More Ruthless debuts with a handler in good shape but the breeding suggests this is a tough first assignment; our figures rank her ninth of eleven.

AI verdict

Long odds of 25/1 and an unproven form record leave Be More Ruthless poorly positioned against stronger-fancied rivals.

Mrs Mole

Age 2 · 8-13

Clifford Lee 17%

Steph Hollinshead 10%

—

149

8-13

14/1 7/1 14/1

Shaped with encouragement on her debut fourth at Leicester — not far behind in a 7f maiden — Mrs Mole is effective at 7f on good ground and should go forward from that first start; the form looks solid and improvement is likely as the season develops.

AI verdict

Midfield form figure and 7/1 odds suggest market scepticism, limiting Mrs Mole's 149 Saturday Rating to a modest 3-star rating.

Wells Fargo Stage

Age 2 · 8-13

David Allan 13%

Tim Easterby 11%

—

127

8-13

50/1

Well beaten on her debut at Redcar — a major step forward is required — Wells Fargo Stage arrives here with a trainer who has an excellent record at this venue. Our figures rank her tenth, and without market signals it is hard to be optimistic about her prospects.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 127 shows potential, but 50/1 odds and a blank form figure limit confidence significantly.

Harswell Ruby

Age 4 · 9-10

715464

Joanna Mason 12%

Roger Fell 12%

9-10

7/2 7/1 10/3

Fourth last time at a mark just 1lb higher than today's, Harswell Ruby showed she is running to her level and handles today's distance and going. Ranked seventh of eleven here, she is on a competitive mark but needs things to fall her way to take a hand.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-10 with patchy form 715464 and a modest Saturday Rating of 75 limits Harswell Ruby's prospects at 7/1.

Runswick

Age 3 · 9-10

610-32

Daniel Tudhope 18%

Ed Dunlop 12%

9-10

7/2 3/1 10/3

Two solid placed finishes since returning, Runswick was denied by the narrowest of margins at Chester last time off a 2lb lower mark — stays a mile and acts on soft and good. Our top-rated horse in the field by a clear margin, the 2lb rise may not be enough to deny him.

AI verdict

Runswick's solid 91 Saturday Rating and consistent form (610-32) are offset by 9-10 weight at 4/1.

Aqua Bear

Age 3 · 9-9

921-40

Clifford Lee 17%

Ian Williams 11%

9-9

6/1 17/2 6/1

Good prior form before Goodwood but Aqua Bear failed to see out the trip when well beaten there most recently, and a clear rebound is required; handles 6-7f on a range of surfaces. Ranked eighth here and the first run back is worth treating with some caution.

AI verdict

Rated 84 with inconsistent form (921-40) and carrying 9-9 at 17/2, Aqua Bear offers mid-tier appeal without market support.

Marry The Night

Age 4 · 9-9

113228

Sean Kirrane 11%

Tim Easterby 11%

9-9

80/1 25/1 80/1

Thriving through the spring with back-to-back wins before a well-beaten turf run at Carlisle last time, Marry The Night's sharper form has clearly come on the AW — first-time cheekpieces the hope of reversing that latest effort here. Effective over 8f on any ground but most comfortable off turf.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 53, combined with 33/1 odds and a recent form slide to 8th, justifies just 2 stars.

I Can Dance

Age 3 · 9-8

223-

Connor Beasley 13%

Charlie Johnston 13%

9-8

9/2 11/2 4/1

Twice placed as a juvenile before a promising third last time — I Can Dance is a well-bred type returning from 273 days off and arrives with upside; effective at 7-8f. The lengthy layoff is the obvious concern going into her first handicap start.

AI verdict

Solid form figures of 223- and a Saturday Rating of 86 justify mid-market 11/2 odds, but 9-8 weight limits upside.

Pension Pot

Age 4 · 9-8

24-573

William Pyle 9%

David & Nicola Barron 10%

9-8

20/1 10/1 20/1

Third at Chester last time off today's mark, Pension Pot finished with purpose after a sluggish early display and stays a mile on soft, good and the AW; yet to win in her last five starts. Our figures rank her ninth of eleven — needs significant improvement to reach the front end here.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-8 with a modest Saturday Rating of 65, inconsistent form of 24-573, and dismissed at 11/1 by the market.

Barley

Age 7 · 9-7

-80623

David Allan 13%

Tim Easterby 11%

9-7

13/2 7/2 13/2

Unlucky not to finish closer than a length third at Ripon last time — clear improvement on the runs prior — Barley goes in first-time cheekpieces with a top yard in her corner; effective over 8f on soft and good to firm. Yet to win in recent starts but the trajectory is heading upward.

AI verdict

Barley's mid-tier Saturday Rating of 76 and inconsistent form of -80623 justify a cautious 3/5 despite fair 4/1 market odds.

Wetsand

Age 3 · 9-6

0-7758

Sam James 14%

James Owen 18%

9-6

14/1 FCST 12/1

Outpaced and always in arrear in her last several starts — unable to demonstrate any progress on her earlier efforts — Wetsand is effective at 7-8f on a sound surface. The question is whether she can produce what her earlier form hinted at.

AI verdict

Wetsand's poor form (0-7758), low Saturday Rating of 70, and unfancied 12/1 odds justify just 2 stars.

Popeye Doyle

Age 4 · 9-6

336-02

Shay Farmer 8%

Jessica Bedi 4%

9-6

50/1 11/1 33/1

First-time tongue-boot and blinkers and yet to win in her last five starts — Popeye Doyle ran to her level at Wetherby last time over today's trip on a sound surface; capable of a decent effort but inconsistent. Our figures rank her second-bottom here and a bold showing would surprise.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-6 with weak 336-02 form and a modest Saturday Rating of 72 at 11/1 suggests limited winning prospects.

Geo

Age 4 · 9-6

869162

Tom Marquand 16%

Jim Goldie 14%

9-6

13/2 7/1 13/2

Close second at Carlisle last time off today's mark — moving up through the gears to near-miss form — and a notable jockey engagement adds to the appeal for Geo; acts at 7-8f on a sound surface. Ranked sixth here but the trajectory is clearly improving.

AI verdict

Geo's mixed form (869162) and 9-6 weight limit his appeal despite a fair 75 Saturday Rating at 7/1.

K. R. Burke 20%

100

113

9-5

5/2 9/4 5/2

Winning form at Listed level in a 7f heat last time out makes Ellusive Butterfly a real contender here — effective on any going and versatile from 7-8f. Now carries a penalty though, which is the one thing rivals will be hoping tells against her.

AI verdict

Form figures showing two recent wins followed by a 7th and 1st suggest inconsistency, limiting confidence despite a competitive 113 Saturday Rating at 5/2.

Albaydaa

21-321

Tom Marquand 16%

William Haggas 23%

105

9-2

13/8 5/4 31/19

Albaydaa has two wins in her last five starts and arrived at this level in excellent heart, taking a handicap here last time with a narrow but decisive display showing real tenacity. Effective from 6-7f on a range of surfaces, she tops our figures and has scope for more at this grade.

AI verdict

Rated 105 with consistent form figures of 21-321 and accessible 13/8 odds, Albaydaa presents strong each-way credentials at 9-2 weight.

Applesandpears

Age 3 · 9-2

211-83

Daniel Tudhope 18%

Edward Bethell 17%

9-2

11/1 12/1 9/1

Placed here at Carlisle last time, which gives Applesandpears a course angle to cling to, and she handles today's distance and going. Our figures rank her ninth of ten, however, and she needs to find considerably more to threaten the market leaders.

AI verdict

Rated just 83 with weak 211-83 form and drifting at 16/1, Applesandpears lacks the market confidence to threaten in this Listed heat.

Assaranca

Age 3 · 9-2

6-6315

P. J. McDonald 14%

Richard Hannon 12%

9-2

33/1 22/1 33/1

Positioned too far off the pace at Epsom last time, Assaranca still shaped with promise in a strong Listed heat, suggesting there is ability to show at this level; effective over 7-8f on any surface. A repeat of her best is needed to figure from stall nine here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 70 and 20/1 odds signal weak market confidence, compounded by inconsistent form showing two sixth-place finishes.

Classic Cuvee

Age 3 · 9-2

2189-6

Ray Dawson 14%

Roger Varian 20%

9-2

25/1 12/1 25/1

Blinkers go on for the first time and Classic Cuvee likely found a Listed contest too hot for her last month — comfortably held on form that had previously been better. Effective over 7f on a sound surface, a sharper display is required to land a blow here.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 12/1, a modest Saturday Rating of 86, and inconsistent form reading 2189-6 signal limited winning prospects here.

Confide In Me

Age 3 · 9-2

Callum Rodriguez 20%

Jack Jones 12%

9-2

50/1 28/1 40/1

Lightly raced after just two recent starts, Confide In Me matched her debut form when runner-up at Redcar last time, yet steps into significantly tougher company now. Acts over today's distance and going, but a major leap forward is needed to threaten at this level.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 40/1 and a low Saturday Rating of 64 undermine her promising 12 form in this Listed contest.

Figjam

Age 3 · 9-2

12-746

Jason Hart 14%

Katie Scott 10%

9-2

40/1 20/1 33/1

A competitive sort who fits well at 6f on testing ground and has done enough over today's trip to suggest she belongs at this level; Figjam ran down the field over 7f last time, a flat effort, and the return to her best form is required. The ability is there — consistency is the question.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 79, 20/1 odds, and patchy recent form (12-746) confirm Figjam as a 2/5 outsider with little market support.

Golden Palace

Age 3 · 9-2

765-73

Barry McHugh 9%

Richard & Peter Fahey 10%

106

9-2

5/1

Close-up third at Musselburgh last time — just two lengths behind the principals — Golden Palace has the class and stamina for today's trip and goes well on a sound surface. Yet to get her head in front in recent starts, but capable of a sharp effort at this grade.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 106 and fair 11/2 odds are undermined by uninspiring 765-73 form carrying 9-2 weight.

Just A Girl

Age 3 · 9-2

7-3422

Connor Beasley 13%

Charlie Johnston 13%

9-2

12/1 11/1 10/1

Proximity at Carlisle last time — a close second in a 7f handicap here — gives Just A Girl a strong course-and-distance angle, and she handles today's ground. Our figures rank her eighth in this ten-runner field, however, and she requires considerably more to reach the front end.

AI verdict

Rated just 80 with 16/1 odds and recent form showing a seventh, she lacks the market confidence for Listed class.

Stimulative Trip

Paul Mulrennan 14%

David Menuisier 13%

12/1 17/2 10/1

Placed on the clock at Chantilly on her last start, running to level beaten a little over three lengths, Stimulative Trip handles today's distance and going and arrives here with a jockey who knows this course well retained. Two disappointing finishes before that win are the main concern.

AI verdict

Rated 93 with inconsistent form (1-96) and 8/1 odds signal limited confidence despite a solid weight of 9-2.

Persuasion

Age 9 · 10-2

-76167

Rhys Elliott 7%

David & Nicola Barron 10%

10-2

28/1 18/1 25/1

Seventh last time off 86 — 1lb higher than today — Persuasion ran to her level and the switch back to a mile is a genuine positive given her 7f profile; acts on any ground. The main risk is that she has been below her best in recent starts and needs to recapture earlier form.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-2 with a weak Saturday Rating of 69, a poor recent form of -76167, and dismissed by the market at 18/1, Persuasion offers minimal winning appeal.

Lexington Jet

Age 4 · 10-2

171016

Lewis Edmunds 12%

David Loughnane 12%

10-2

25/1 14/1 22/1

Found wanting over 10f last time when sixth at the top of the weights, Lexington Jet drops to a more suitable trip here and clearly enjoys getting out in front; three wins in his last six on good and AW. Our figures rank him fourteenth, though, and the drop back to preferred conditions is the main selling point.

AI verdict

Lexington Jet's 16/1 odds, modest 78 Saturday Rating, and inconsistent form figures of 171016 make this a low-confidence selection.

Billyb

Age 7 · 10-1

51-870

P. J. McDonald 14%

Craig Lidster 12%

10-1

18/1 FCST 14/1

Keen and raced off the pace last time at York where she ran down the field, Billyb is usually held up and needs things to unfold more favourably here; effective from 7-10f, acts on a range of surfaces. A clear rebound from that effort is required and she gets first-time cheekpieces.

AI verdict

Billyb's poor form (51-870), high weight of 10-1, and weak 14/1 odds reflect a Saturday Rating of just 73.

Altareq

Age 4 · 10-0

32-330

Paul Mulrennan 14%

9/2 4/1 9/2

Previously in fine shape with three placings from four starts, Altareq was well below par when well beaten at York most recently — unable to get into the race from off the pace. A top jockey and prior form over a mile on a sound surface give him strong credentials if that run is discounted.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-0 with a moderate form figure of 32-330 and a Saturday Rating of 87 limits Altareq's appeal at 9/2.

Priapos

Age 4 · 9-12

Landed a 7-8f handicap at Carlisle last time with authority off a 3lb lower mark, finishing well under pressure — Priapos has two wins in his last five starts and handles any ground. The yard is in good heart and first-time cheekpieces add interest; stepping up 3lb is the only reservation.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-12 with patchy form 12-741 and a Saturday Rating of 88 limits Priapos to mid-market 13/2 contention.

Fourth at Newmarket last time off a mark just 1lb lower than today's, Canvas ran to her level on a sound surface over 8f and is capable of a decent effort here. Our figures place her fifteenth of seventeen, however, and she needs considerably more to reach the frame in a competitive field.

AI verdict

Canvas carries top weight of 9-11 with a Saturday Rating of 81 and patchy form of 7170-4 at 7/1, limiting confidence to three stars.

Glenfinnan

Age 6 · 9-10

-07719

Connor Beasley 13%

Michael Dods 12%

9-10

14/1 11/1 14/1

Carrying a hood for the first time and having been keen and unable to see out the trip last time at the same mark as today, Glenfinnan needs a cleaner race here; still weighted competitively on earlier form and handles soft and good to firm. A big unknown with the new headgear.

AI verdict

Glenfinnan's poor recent form of -07719, high weight of 9-10, and 11/1 odds signal limited winning chances with a Saturday Rating of just 76.

Vixey

Age 6 · 9-9

21335-

Aiden Brookes 9%

Simon West 9%

9-9

28/1 20/1 25/1

Away 210 days — a lengthy absence — and having been far too keen in the early stages last time, Vixey faces a stiff task on her return. Acts over 7f on a sound surface and not soft; our figures rank her last of seventeen and a bounce-back from that effort is essential.

AI verdict

Long odds of 20/1 and a modest Saturday Rating of 68 reflect limited market confidence despite solid recent form.

Naples

Age 4 · 9-9

21-053

Clifford Lee 17%

Steph Hollinshead 10%

9-9

28/1 20/1 25/1

First-time cheekpieces and a solid third last time over today's distance and going — Naples is effective from a mile to 10f on heavy and good. Not without a shout in a wide-open field, though our figures have her ranked fifth overall.

AI verdict

Rated just 68 with weak 21-053 form and sent off a 20/1 outsider carrying 9-9, Naples shows little market confidence.

Degale

Age 5 · 9-8

-60305

David Nolan 12%

David & Nicola Barron 10%

9-8

20/1 16/1 18/1

Keen and unable to see out the mile at Thirsk eight days ago, Degale has a patchy recent record and is yet to win in her last five starts; acts at 8f on a sound surface. Our figures rank her sixteenth here and a run close to her very best is needed just to figure.

AI verdict

Degale's poor form (-60305), weak Saturday Rating of 62, and 18/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects despite carrying 9-8.

Enola Grey

Age 6 · 9-8

51-556

Joanna Mason 12%

Gemma Tutty 11%

9-8

50/1 18/1 40/1

Off the track for 117 days, Enola Grey returns from a break with the bulk of her better form coming on the AW; she handles today's distance and going but this is turf after a long absence. A return to form is entirely possible with fitness on her side.

AI verdict

Low Saturday Rating of 59, weak form (51-556), and 20/1 odds signal market lacks confidence in this 9-8 weighted runner.

Swift Salian

Age 5 · 9-8

24-222

William Pyle 9%

David & Nicola Barron 10%

9-8

11/1 10/1 11/1

A pattern of consistent placings in recent outings — placed five times in five starts without adding to her tally — Swift Salian held her level at Nottingham last time off the same mark as today; effective from 8-9f on any surface. A reliable yardstick who needs a slice of luck to get her head in front.

AI verdict

Consistent form of 24-222 and a competitive Saturday Rating of 77 are undermined by 10/1 odds suggesting limited market confidence.

Leadenhall

Age 6 · 9-5

-57161

Jake Dickson(3) 12%

Tim Easterby 11%

9-5

3/1 6/1 3/1

Leadenhall took two wins from his last five starts, landing a tight finish at Nottingham just four days ago off the same mark here — running keenly but finishing well under a positive ride. A top trainer here at Carlisle, no penalty to carry, and a claiming jockey: the one to beat at the weights.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-5 with a Saturday Rating of 83 and inconsistent form of -57161 limits confidence despite fair 13/2 odds.

Rajapour

Age 6 · 9-5

824336

Mark Winn 11%

David O'Meara 13%

9-5

11/1 12/1 11/1

Held up and needing pace to target, Rajapour wore too much ground off at Wetherby last time in first-time combined headgear; effective around 8-9f on any going. Our figures rank her thirteenth, and she needs a strong gallop and the gear to spark the improvement required.

AI verdict

Rajapour's 73 Saturday Rating, weak 824336 form, and 12/1 odds indicate limited market confidence at 9-5 weight.

Financer

Age 5 · 9-4

0-4045

David Allan 13%

Tim Easterby 11%

9-4

5/1 10/1 5/1

Blinkers on for the first time and a trainer in good form — Financer is a generally consistent type who ran to her level at York last time off a 2lb higher mark than today's; suits 9-10f on any ground. Yet to win in recent starts but rated our second-best horse in the race.

AI verdict

Financer's poor form (0-4045), low Saturday Rating of 72, and 9/1 odds signal limited winning prospects at 9-4.

Wanderlust

Age 4 · 10-2

531-44

Tom Marquand 16%

Iain Jardine 12%

10-2

16/1 12/1 14/1

Fourth at Newbury last time at what looks about British level suggests Wanderlust needs more to compete here, and she is already ranked sixth on our figures. A trainer in good form and proven stamina from 10-12f on soft and good are genuine points in her favour.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 12/1, a modest Saturday Rating of 68, and uninspiring form of 531-44 under top weight 10-2 limit Wanderlust's prospects.

Wine Dark Sea

Age 4 · 10-1

5162-1

Lewis Edmunds 12%

Harry Charlton 16%

10-1

5/6 18/13 8/11

Sharp form at Ascot last time when landing a handicap with something to spare off a lower mark makes Wine Dark Sea among the stronger claims in this field; effective over 12f on good ground and the AW. The step up to a competitive Class 4 off a higher mark is the one caveat.

AI verdict

Solid form (5162-1) and a competitive 91 Saturday Rating are offset by a demanding 10-1 weight at short 5/4 odds.

Secret Beach

Age 5 · 9-12

421-95

David Nolan 12%

Donald McCain 15%

9-12

33/1 20/1 28/1

Held to her level at Chester last time — fifth over 12f on a sound surface — Secret Beach arrives here in first-time headgear and handles today's trip. Our ratings place her tenth of twelve, however, and she needs to step up markedly to be a factor.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-12 at 25/1 odds, Secret Beach's Saturday Rating of 56 and poor recent form of 421-95 offer minimal winning prospects.

Golden West

Age 5 · 9-11

4878/4

David Allan 13%

Tim Easterby 11%

9-11

11/1 FCST 10/1

Came home well from off the pace at Chester most recently, finishing not far behind the principals, though without a win in her last five starts Golden West has questions to answer. A top trainer provides a yard angle here at Carlisle and she stays 8-10f.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 68, unfavoured 10/1 odds, and poor recent form reading 4878/4 make Golden West an unconvincing contender.

Ludo's Landing

Age 6 · 9-9

551043

Jason Hart 14%

Charlie Johnston 13%

9-9

18/1 14/1 16/1

Third at Hamilton last time off a mark just a pound higher than today's, Ludo's Landing goes in first-time blinkers and acts over today's trip and going; a trip range of 10-13f makes today's stamina test manageable. The new headgear means there is an unknown element.

AI verdict

Ludo's Landing rates just 66 with poor recent form of 551043 and weak 16/1 odds offering no market confidence.

Trojan Sun

Age 6 · 9-8

9-9381

Paul Mulrennan 14%

Jim Goldie 14%

9-8

20/1 10/1 20/1

Winning at Carlisle last time with a willing display off a 5lb lower mark — and with a jockey who has an excellent record at this track back aboard — gives Trojan Sun obvious claims despite a penalty. Acts on any turf ground over a mile and beyond; first-time cheekpieces the variable, and the higher weight is the concern.

AI verdict

Rated just 69 with uninspiring form figures of 9-9381 and dismissed by the market at 12/1, Trojan Sun offers little appeal.

Inappropriate

Age 5 · 9-7

02-624

Rowan Scott 11%

Ewan Whillans 11%

9-7

40/1 18/1 28/1

Cheekpieces appear for the first time and Inappropriate steps back onto the flat after a handicap hurdle run where she was comfortably held — unable to extend what had been a brief revival. Suits 10f on any ground, but the inconsistency remains the central issue here.

AI verdict

Outsider at 20/1 carrying 9-7 with a modest Saturday Rating of 55 and uninspiring form of 02-624 limits appeal.

Austrian Theory

Age 7 · 9-6

3-5975

Jake Dickson(3) 12%

Tim Easterby 11%

9-6

14/1 14/1 12/1

The trainer has a solid record in this race and Austrian Theory tries cheekpieces after a six-length defeat at York last time where she finished strongest in the final furlong; effective over 8-10f on any ground. Yet to win in recent starts, and a significant rebound from that York effort is needed.

AI verdict

Carrying 9-6 at 16/1 with a Saturday Rating of just 58 and poor recent form of 3-5975 makes Austrian Theory a weak contender.

Eroico

Age 4 · 9-1

442-59

Mark Winn 11%

Martin Todhunter 10%

9-1

100/1 40/1 66/1

A long way back at Thirsk last time when tried in a hood and found wanting over the trip — Eroico is our bottom-rated runner here and yet to win in her last five starts. Stays around a mile to 12f and acts on soft and good, but needs everything to fall right.

AI verdict

Eroico's 40/1 odds, poor recent form of 442-59, and low Saturday Rating of 49 make him an outsider with minimal winning prospects.

Alpine Sierra

Age 8 · 8-12

223111

Lauren Young 11%

Jim Goldie 14%

8-12

18/1 13/2 18/1

Three wins in her last six — including a comfortable Carlisle success last time off a lower mark — give Alpine Sierra an eye-catching profile, and she is effective from 7-12f on soft, good and the AW. Our figures rank her well down the field, suggesting she faces a stiff task at the weights.

AI verdict

Recent form of 223111 is strong, but 8-12 weight and 7/1 odds suggest the market sees limitations at a Saturday Rating of 77.

Gaelic Approach

Age 3 · 8-9

-21213

Connor Beasley 13%

Charlie Johnston 13%

8-9

7/2 6/1 10/3

Consistent record of two wins in his last five starts, a sound third last time off the same mark as today, and proven over today's distance and going — Gaelic Approach goes in from the foot of the weights and a drop in trip should suit. Our top-rated horse here by some margin.

AI verdict

Consistent form of -21213 and a competitive Saturday Rating of 89 at 13/2 odds suggest solid each-way claims without dominating the market.

Mostar Dreams

Age 5 · 10-2

003-19

M. P. Sheehy 8%

Adrian Keatley 15%

10-2

9/1 10/1 15/2

Prior form before that nightmare outing at Newcastle is genuinely decent — Mostar Dreams has won and shown ability at her best across a wide trip range including today's going. Returning from a break and needing to settle after pulling hard last time; if she does, she could be a real danger.

AI verdict

Mostar Dreams carries top weight of 10-2 with a modest Saturday Rating of 77, poor recent form of 003-19, and drifted out to 10/1 in the market.

Donna Nook

Age 4 · 9-5

332941

Daniel Tudhope 18%

David O'Meara 13%

9-5

15/2 FCST 6/1

Taking to a new headgear combination at Ripon last time, Donna Nook took a tight handicap in a driving finish off a 3lb lower mark — effective from 8-10f on a sound surface. Now 3lb higher but showed enough to suggest she has the class to meet that rise.

AI verdict

Inconsistent form (332941) and a high weight of 9-5 limit confidence despite a solid Saturday Rating of 79 at 6/1.

Rogue Attraction

Age 3 · 9-5

2100-

Kevin Stott 15%

Edward Bethell 17%

9-5

6/1 7/1 11/2

Away 236 days and in need of a significant return to form having been well beaten in a Listed event last time on unsuitable ground — Rogue Attraction is effective at 6f and gets first-time cheekpieces. Ranked fifth of six, there is ability here but everything needs to click.

AI verdict

Rated 86 with solid 2100- form but carrying 9-5 at 7/1 limits confidence against likely stronger market movers.

Shushu

Age 3 · 9-2

Ray Dawson 14%

Roger Varian 20%

9-2

13/8 5/4 31/19

Getting off the mark at Yarmouth last time in a clear-cut manner — taking a step forward and showing the right attitude — Shushu now tries handicap company for the first time on today's going; effective at 7f on soft and good to soft. Strong handler and further improvement from this mark looks achievable.

AI verdict

Rated 90 with solid form figures of 21, Shushu carries 9-2 at 7/4 but misses favouritism, limiting confidence.

Nanoscience

Age 3 · 8-13

53-131

P. J. McDonald 14%

Andrew Balding 18%

8-13

9/4 7/4 9/4

Two wins from five recent starts, including a narrow but decisive handicap success at Wetherby last time off a 1lb lower mark — Nanoscience showed a willing attitude and acts over today's distance on a sound surface. Our top-rated runner here by a clear margin, she is progressive and more can be expected.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 93, competitive 7/4 odds, and progressive form figure 53-131 justify four stars despite carrying 8-13.

Who Wants Me

Age 4 · 8-11

3304-6

Andrew Mullen 10%

Iain Jardine 12%

8-11

12/1 12/1 9/1

Off 38 days and yet to win in her last five starts, Who Wants Me showed adequate form when held off the pace at Hamilton despite a slow start; suits 7f on soft and good. First-time tongue-tie adds a variable, but our figures rank her joint-last here — an unlikely threat without a jump in form.

AI verdict

Rated just 59 with weak 3304-6 form and ignored at 14/1 by the market, Who Wants Me carries 8-11 with little winning chance.
