154

11-9

8/13 8/13 4/7

Finished with purpose to get off the mark over course and distance 34 days ago, winning a maiden hurdle by 3 lengths. Carries a penalty here but has already shown he handles this track and trip; effective on a range of going. The one to beat.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 154 combined with strong recent form (02-21) and a dominant 8/13 market position justify the 4-star rating.

11/2 9/2 5/1

Fourth at Ballinrobe last time, dropped to 2m, suggesting he found the trip on the sharp side; returning to a longer distance could see him travel better. Yet to win under rules but his debut effort hints at ability; a cold trainer record in recent weeks is the concern.

AI verdict

Moderate Saturday Rating of 144, unconvincing form figures of P2-84, and 5/1 odds suggest market holds limited confidence.

10/1 13/2 8/1

Back from a lengthy absence and dropping back in grade, he has shown ability on soft ground at up to 2m over hurdles. A new staying trip may help him find his level, but he has looked below his earlier hurdles form of late and much improvement is needed.

AI verdict

Decent Saturday Rating of 139 but weak form figures of 74/90- and 17/2 odds suggest market holds significant doubts.

11-2

4/1 7/2 4/1

Shapes with more ability than his record suggests — seventh at Downpatrick 12 days ago but that effort represented an advance on his previous start, and he stays 2m6f. Lightly raced and holding a mark that could flatter on this evidence; more needed to get involved.

AI verdict

Tribal Moon's 147 Saturday Rating and 4/1 odds show promise, but a winless 0-7 form record limits confidence to three stars.

126

10-3

33/1 14/1 33/1

Placed on debut in a maiden point at 3m, carrying a hint of ability over the larger obstacles, and that distance experience translates reasonably to the hurdles code. However, she is now switching codes without a win to her name and faces more exposed rivals.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 126 is solid, but 28/1 odds and a single form figure of 3 suggest limited market confidence.

33/1 22/1 33/1

Showed modest promise when fourth on her bumper debut but pulled up on her next start; the bar is set low under rules. Hard to make a confident case at present and more is clearly required before she becomes a winning proposition.

AI verdict

Drifting to 28/1 with weak form of 4-P and a Saturday Rating of 122 signals minimal winning prospects.

Age 8 · 12-0

0/60-5

Danny Gilligan 11%

Cian Collins 9%

100

12-0

20/1 6/1 16/1

Held up too far back at Wexford last time and failed to land a blow beaten 8 lengths; has the profile to be competitive around 2m-2m4f on most going. First-time cheekpieces are applied today and she might do better if allowed to travel with the pace.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 12-0 with poor form figures of 0/60-5 and unfancied at 12/1, Fair Damsel's Saturday Rating of 78 signals little winning chance.

F8P-32

Toby Wynne 16%

Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero 15%

5/1 4/1 5/1

Back in form after an inconsistent spell — ran creditably last time at Bangor, going down by 3¼ lengths off a mark only 2lb lower — and stays well between 2m4f and 3m on soft and good ground. First-time tongue-tie is fitted today; can have a say if that rebound in form is the signal.

AI verdict

Consistent form (F8P-32) and fair 5/1 odds are offset by a 3/5 Saturday Rating of 83 and a hefty 11-12 weight.

Harry Bannister 13%

Ben Case 11%

11-11

16/1 14/1 16/1

Below form on her last couple of outings — well beaten at Huntingdon most recently — having not threatened despite appearing to have conditions to suit. Consistent earlier and acts around 3m on a sound surface, but now returning from a 236-day absence. First-time blinkers are added but much improvement needed.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-11 with outdated form showing a string of defeats and drifting odds of 14/1 signals minimal winning prospects.

Age 6 · 11-11

432-44

Jack Quinlan 15%

Neil King 22%

11-11

28/1 12/1 25/1

Well beaten when tried in a visor at Fakenham last time, a run that reads as out-of-character given her earlier consistency — placed three times in five starts including some solid efforts. Effective over around 2m-2m2f on good ground; a bounce back is needed and the visor experiment is shelved today.

AI verdict

Blackwater Lilly's 73 Saturday Rating, 18/1 odds, and uninspiring 432-44 form mark her as a rank outsider carrying 11-11.

Gerrys Wish

Age 5 · 11-10

3822-8

Sean Bowen 24%

Gordon Elliott 18%

11-10

12/1 5/1 12/1

Held her form well enough until coming unstuck at Sligo last time, beaten well despite appearing to need the run after 45 days off. Effective over 2m-3m on good ground; first-time cheekpieces are added and she has more to offer if that Sligo run is discounted.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-10 with a poor form reading of 3822-8 and a modest Saturday Rating of 87 at 9/1 makes Gerrys Wish an unconvincing each-way proposition.

Age 8 · 11-8

461/6-

Mr D McGill 10%

Noel C. Kelly 9%

11-8

12/1 11/2 12/1

Slightly below the best of her form when held comfortably at Tramore last time — a trip longer than her optimum — and off a short break. Acts on good ground over 2m-2m7f; a bounce back is needed and first-time cheekpieces must prove their worth. Hard to fancy ahead of more obvious candidates.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 79, distant 9/1 odds, and poor form figures of 461/6- justify only 2/5 stars despite carrying 11-8.

Age 6 · 10-11

1153-2

Joshua Thompson(5) 12%

Adam Nicol 16%

10-11

10/3 10/3 3/1

Went close last time at Market Rasen, beaten only a head off a mark 3lb lower, and has shown she can win off a somewhat higher mark following two previous successes. In sound form and stays 2m4f on a range of going; first-time tongue-tie fitted. A fair each-way chance at least despite being on the bigger side in the weights.

AI verdict

Solid recent form (1153-2) and competitive 10/3 odds justify three stars, but 10-11 weight and an 88 Saturday Rating limit upside.

Forest Spirit

Age 5 · 10-10

9753-2

James Bowen 20%

Mickey Bowen 16%

10-10

15/2 5/1 7/1

Close second at Ffos Las last time in first-time cheekpieces, beaten 1½ lengths off a mark only 1lb lower; that was her best jumping effort to date and she clearly stays 2m4f. A chance once more, though she is yet to score and will need to build on that performance.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 80 and inconsistent form reading 9753-2 undermine confidence despite a workable 13/2 price and 10-10 weight.

Alvesta

Age 5 · 10-8

446-71

Brian Hughes 19%

George Bewley 11%

10-8

5/2

Took a handicap here last time by half a length off a mark 4lb lower when back on better ground, usually held up and suited to around 2m-2m2f. Still well treated relative to her maiden form and the local track knowledge is a plus. A genuine threat to the selection.

AI verdict

Alvesta's mid-range Saturday Rating of 91, top weight of 10-8, and inconsistent form of 446-71 limit confidence despite fair 3/1 odds.

Age 5 · 10-6

44P-27

Benjamin Macey(3) 9%

Seamus Mullins 11%

10-6

12/1 12/1 11/1

Well beaten at Stratford over hurdles last time, though placed two starts before that, and her form is inconsistent; barely stays 3m and today's trip is at the outer limit of her range. Hard to recommend ahead of today's better-credentialed rivals.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 74, distant 12/1 odds, and uninspiring form figures of 44P-27 combine to make Masonbrook Meadow a weak contender.

4/1 10/3 7/2

Consistent mare in good form and suited to around 2m-2m4f on sound ground; trainer is firing in winners of late. Placed at Perth 19 days ago, running to her best over a trip slightly longer than ideal. Slightly short of 3m is the one reservation but she has the class to make her presence felt.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 110, competitive 11/4 odds, and consistent form figures of 523-13 make Settle Down Jill a solid each-way proposition.

Four wins from his last five starts, including an emphatic 9½-length success at Hexham just five days ago off a mark 7lb lower. Progressive over fences and handles this type of ground; clearly in the form of his life and the first-time tongue-tie should not hinder. The penalty asks a question but his trajectory makes him hard to oppose.

AI verdict

Strong form of -P1111 and a competitive 117 Saturday Rating are offset by a hefty 11-9 weight against fresher rivals.

8/1 7/2 8/1

Has been knocking on the door in recent starts, going down by 2½ lengths at Kilbeggan last time despite looking set to prevail at one point. Consistent over hurdles of late and acts on soft and good; now fitted with first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces as connections seek the breakthrough. On a long losing run but the mark is not unreasonable if he can build on his recent hurdles revival.

AI verdict

Consistent form figures of 8P2-22 and a mid-range Saturday Rating of 100 suggest capability, but 11-7 weight and 7/1 market position limit confidence.

11/4 11/2 2/1

Possible improver now switching to chasing for the first time, with his hurdles form giving a solid baseline and today's trip and ground within his range. The last run at Ffos Las appeared to be a sharpener and first-time cheekpieces are added today. He has not been getting competitive over hurdles lately but the code switch could unlock more.

AI verdict

Aslukgoes holds a solid 105 Saturday Rating at fair 3/1 odds, but inconsistent form of P476-4 limits confidence.

11/1 12/1 11/1

Consistency has been hard to find in recent starts, and his latest effort here over hurdles — when well beaten despite having chances — does little to inspire. Acts on a range of going and stays up to 3m, but first-time cheekpieces must do the job if he is to become competitive.

AI verdict

Recent form figures of P474-9 and 11/1 odds signal a horse the market lacks confidence in at 11-2 weight.

9/4 5/2 2/1

Back in form and on a fair mark at Cartmel, where he set the pace and went down by only a length last time, clearly effective around 3m on this ground. Now fitted with first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces, and the handler has a strong record in this race. Yet to get off the mark over fences, but the profile suggests another bold show.

AI verdict

Consistent form figures of 23P-22 and a competitive Saturday Rating of 118 at 11/4 odds suggest solid each-way claims without dominance.

Has the ability — two hurdles wins in recent starts — but has twice refused to race since, most recently at Perth. He needs to rediscover his jumping enthusiasm to be competitive, and that requirement is the dominant question mark.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 12-0 at 28/1 odds, Red Happy's Saturday Rating of 89 and interrupted form of 11/R-R signal minimal winning prospects.

Thriving this summer and took a handicap here in good style last time, landing the race by 7½ lengths off a mark 8lb lower; usually held up and effective over an extended range of distances. First-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces today as connections nudge for more from an improving horse, though a higher mark asks the question.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 12-0 with a Saturday Rating of 128 and consistent 314-31 form justifies solid mid-tier appeal at 11/4.

Won a handicap chase at Uttoxeter 22 days ago, beating a largely exposed field by 4 lengths off a mark 4lb lower; in good form and acts on this ground. Now fitted with first-time blinkers; the rise in class following that success is the factor to weigh up.

AI verdict

Solid form of 222-31 and a competitive Saturday Rating of 120 justify mid-tier appeal, but 12-0 weight and 11/2 odds limit upside.

Ran to his best form here last time, going down by 10 lengths in a handicap chase on this course, and he landed this contest twelve months ago. Progressive during the previous summer and back on the same mark; effective over 3m+ and better on decent ground. First-time blinkers could sharpen him up, though he remains without a win in recent starts.

AI verdict

Solid 116 Saturday Rating and fair 11/4 odds are offset by a patchy form showing a pull-up and no wins.

Won a handicap hurdle at Punchestown last time, scoring by 3 lengths off a mark 10lb lower after appreciating a strong gallop; effective around 3m and ideally suited by some ease underfoot. Now fitted with first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces, but he needs to show that win was not track-dependent to hold his own in this company.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 109 and decent 9/2 odds suit, but 11-1 weight and inconsistent form (14P-41) limit confidence.

11/1 12/1 9/1

Jumping has been a problem in recent starts — fourth at Southwell last time after another poor round of jumping — but he holds fair hurdle form on a sound surface and could be well treated on that basis. First-time tongue-tie is applied and a clear round would put him in contention, but his fencing is the overriding concern.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 79, distant 12/1 odds, and inconsistent form of 1P5P-4 carrying top weight 12-0 signal minimal winning prospects.

Won a handicap chase at Kilbeggan 26 days ago, going clear by 2½ lengths off a mark 10lb lower; effective over 2m-2m6f on heavy and yielding ground, and today's conditions look suitable. Now in first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces, having been frustrating at times; that win may have provided the confidence to build on.

AI verdict

Solid recent win in form offsets a hefty 11-11 weight, but a 93 Saturday Rating and 7/2 odds suggest limited upside.

Won here last time, landing a handicap by 4¼ lengths off a mark 8lb lower after a strong pace played to his strengths; back in form and stays well over an extended range of distances on good ground. First-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces today as connections push for more; an 8lb rise is the main challenge.

AI verdict

Zumbi's solid recent form (442-21) and competitive Saturday Rating of 92 are offset by a testing weight of 11-10.

14/1 17/2 14/1

Consistent in placing terms before a long layoff — five consecutive placed finishes prior to a wind operation — but his most recent effort at Hexham, where he went too free and finished well beaten, casts doubt on his current fitness and jumping. Effective over 2m4f-3m; first-time cheekpieces are added and he might need this.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 80, outsider odds of 12/1, and a heavy weight of 11-1 limit Am Still Here's winning prospects despite consistent placed form.

Poor jumping when last seen at Hexham and on a declining curve in recent starts; has shown promise over 3m in the past and now wears a first-time tongue-tie. Considerable improvement needed and the form trend is not encouraging.

AI verdict

Rated just 55 with 40/1 odds and a form string showing a unseated rider and a fourth, Tell Me Again offers little appeal at 10-13.

Has the form on the board over around 2m5f and best ground; last time at Cartmel appeared to need the run when comfortably held. First-time tongue-tie and blinkers are fitted today and the trip looks right — a chance at best if these aids help him switch on.

Outpaced and found wanting at Hexham last time — running 9 lengths behind the winner despite having been in consistent form before that — and the step up in test may suit with a stiffer test sought. She wears a first-time hood today and has been better when allowed to settle. Yet to score in recent starts; can do better if she relaxes.

Chase debut was a disappointment — fourth and beaten 17 lengths at Newton Abbot — and he has struggled to make an impact in recent hurdle starts too. Effective over 2m4f-3m; first-time cheekpieces may assist but he needs to find a good deal more.

AI verdict

Roi Du Roume's weak 0734-4 form and modest Saturday Rating of 75 undermine his 15/2 market appeal at 10-4.

Chase debut at Hexham 13 days ago resulted in a 23-length defeat, some way below what his hurdle form suggested he could do. A longstanding maiden under both codes and first-time cheekpieces are now applied; hard to recommend at present.

AI verdict

Carrying 10-2 with a Saturday Rating of just 51, 40/1 odds, and uninspiring 55-344 form confirms Mr Globalist as a weak market outsider.

Down the field when too free on his return at Wexford last time, suggesting inconsistency; however, he did take a point-to-point at this trip earlier in the year. Now fitted with first-time cheekpieces and returning after 41 days, though his recent jumps form is hard to read positively.

Shaped to his best last time when second in a point at 2m-3m and brings that experience back to the hurdle track for the first time since 2021. Now equipped with first-time tongue-tie and blinkers; stays a range of trips and could have more to offer if the switch back to hurdles suits him.

Landed a neck success at Pontefract two starts back before a below-par effort at the track most recently, when beaten 12 lengths; the handler has a good record in this race over the past four years. A bounce back is required and inconsistency is his chief drawback.

Inconsistent form (3/31P-) and a hefty 11-13 weight limit a 13/2 shot rated just 101 from earning higher appeal.

Showed her ability last time at Sedgefield, travelling well through the race before tiring late as fitness gave way having done plenty early — a strong case that the run was needed after a 99-day break. She has won over today's trip and acts on heavy and good ground; the yard has a fine record in this race and she could be sharper for that comeback.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 107 and consistent form ending in a win back her mid-market 13/2 odds despite carrying top weight 11-13.

Ran to a point at Bangor last time but was comfortably held, with the run appearing to be needed after a break; acts on sound ground around 2m and should come on considerably for that outing. First-time tongue-tie is added today; not one to rely on to outperform but a place is not out of the question if he steps forward.

AI verdict

Heavy weight of 11-13 combined with inconsistent form (1U3P-5) and a Saturday Rating of 95 limits Dog Fox's winning prospects at 7/1.

Took a handicap hurdle at Plumpton last time with something to spare, winning by 3½ lengths off a mark 8lb lower; has been progressing with each outing and is still open to improvement. Acts on decent ground over around 2m; the higher mark is the main challenge.

AI verdict

Solid recent form with a course-winning run, but top weight of 11-12 and a Saturday Rating of 105 limit confidence at 9/4.

SP 8/1 9/2

Has struggled to make his presence felt in recent starts, beaten well in a hurdle here last time despite appearing to have conditions in his favour; improvement is clearly required and he needs decent ground around 2m. Hard to make a case until he shows his true colours.

AI verdict

Midfield Saturday Rating of 98, weak form reading 8774-7, and 5/1 odds suggest limited winning prospects despite manageable 11-5 weight.

9/1 14/1 8/1

Pressed on too aggressively last time and was beaten 8¼ lengths here over hurdles; the form this year has been below par and first-time cheekpieces are added. Remains on a mark that may not be completely unfair, and stays a range of trips.

AI verdict

Dusky Days rates poorly at 90 with weak 22-067 form and unfancied 11/1 odds carrying 11-4.

14/1 16/1 14/1

Won a handicap hurdle two starts ago before running below expectations most recently, beaten well here; the latest effort appeared to need the run and he should come on for it. Acts on decent ground over 2m-2m4f; can be competitive when fresh.

AI verdict

Zamond's poor form (1482-8), long odds of 16/1, and modest Saturday Rating of 82 signal limited winning prospects despite carrying 11-3.

14/1 11/1 14/1

A point-to-point winner on his most recent start, scoring by 3 lengths, and returning after what appears a long absence; effective over 2m-3m and that hurdles experience gives him something to build on. However, he is likely to find this a stern test on his return and fitness is the question.

AI verdict

Long absence hides the sole win in form, while 16/1 odds and a Saturday Rating of 88 reflect weak market confidence.
