Hope Rising

Age 5 · 9-9

60/411

Rob Hornby 12%

Jamie Snowden 26%

9-9

1/10 1/6 1/10

Hope Rising brings a sharp double to this contest, winning two of her last five starts with consecutive victories arriving just seven days ago, and she has experience of both today's trip and conditions — our rating of 69 marks her out as the one to beat, though the 135 lb burden is the one query.

AI verdict

Favourable weight of 9-9 gives a real edge in this handicap.

11/2 3/1 9/2

Sneaky Blinder arrives here with distance and going experience to call on, and a win in his last six starts keeps him honest at 130 lb; the 50-day absence is the one factor to weigh up.

AI verdict

SR 61 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Billy Loughnane 18%

Ian Williams 11%

9-9

11/4 5/1 2/1

Winless in his last five starts, Law Of Design has at least run over today's trip before and returns on a handy 24-day break, but a string of mid-pack finishes and 135 lb to carry make it hard to see him threatening from stall seven.

AI verdict

SR 64 suggests ability but 3/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ashley Lewis(3) 14%

Ed de Giles 10%

9-8

33/1 14/1 20/1

Winless in his last five starts, Counting Cards at least has experience of today's trip and conditions to call upon, and 35 days between runs suggests he returns fresh; the worry is that recent efforts have been consistently well beaten.

AI verdict

SR 35 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 25/1.

Age 5 · 9-6

315535

Rossa Ryan 18%

Grace Harris 10%

9-6

4/1 4/1 3/1

Rattled off a win in her last six starts — a winner five starts back — and she arrives here fit on 25 days' rest, with experience of today's trip and ground and 132 lb from stall two; the worry is just one success in recent starts may leave her vulnerable.

AI verdict

SR 62 suggests ability but 9/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

-00662

William Carson 10%

John & Rhys Flint 8%

9-4

13/2 10/3 6/1

Risen Again showed well when second last time out and returns here in good shape after just 16 days, with experience over today's trip and going a clear asset; the main concern is that he remains winless in his last five starts.

AI verdict

SR 56 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Age 7 · 8-12

481377

Mason Paetel(3) 11%

Barry Murphy 5%

8-12

33/1 14/1 20/1

Bobby Dassler has finished seventh in each of his last two starts and ranks seventh of eight on our figures, making him hard to fancy despite a third and a win in recent starts; he has run over today's trip and going, and 21 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh.

AI verdict

6/1 7/1 9/2

Ranked last on our figures in a field of eight, Scarfo is hard to fancy on a mark of 49, but he has run over today's trip and going before, and a return to form is not impossible given he showed a second two starts back and a second three starts back.

Rossa Ryan 18%

Clive Cox 17%

9-9

4/1 6/1 10/3

Evie Ross shaped with promise when winning in her last five starts and has experience of today's trip and going, with her trainer firing at 30% over the past fortnight; drawn in stall one carrying 135 lb, she is the one to beat on an 85 rating.

AI verdict

SR 76 suggests ability but 9/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Rogue Exile

Age 3 · 9-8

Harry Davies 13%

James Owen 18%

9-8

7/2 3/2 7/2

Won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, giving him solid claims, but our rating of 71 ranks him fifth of seven and he carries 134 lb from stall 2, which may temper expectations for this lightly tested colt.

AI verdict

SR 76 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Espona Bay

Age 3 · 9-5

313351

Kieran O'Neill 9%

Scott Dixon 7%

9-5

9/2 11/2 10/3

Espona Bay arrives on the back of a win last time out and has winning form in his last six starts, with experience over today's trip and going lending solid claims at 131 lb from stall 5; the fifth-place finish two starts back is the one blemish that gives rivals hope.

SR 78 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Name The Day

Age 3 · 9-5

49104

Oliver Carmichael(7) 8%

Eve Johnson Houghton 13%

9-5

28/1 33/1 22/1

Name The Day showed smart form when winning three starts back, and her experience over today's trip and going keeps her very much in the mix off a mark of 70; the fourth last time out is the obvious question to answer.

AI verdict

SR 51 suggests ability but 28/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Von Trotter

Age 3 · 9-2

007621

Joanna Mason 12%

Michael & David Easterby 10%

9-2

3/1 FCST 5/2

Von Trotter arrives in excellent nick, winning last time out and filling the runner-up spot two starts back, and his experience over today's trip and conditions bolsters his claims; the main concern is whether he can reproduce that sharp recent form from stall three carrying 128 lb.

AI verdict

SR 79 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Honky Tonk Girl

Age 3 · 8-12

59431

Billy Loughnane 18%

Oliver Cole 11%

8-12

7/1 7/2 7/1

Ranked sixth of seven on our figures, Honky Tonk Girl faces a stiff task despite a win last time out, as her recent form is patchy — third and fourth in the two starts preceding that victory — though she has run over today's trip and going before and returns on a fresh enough 18-day break.

AI verdict

SR 71 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Too Much Trevor

Age 5 · 8-10

144173

Ashley Lewis(3) 14%

Grace Harris 10%

8-10

7/1 12/1 5/1

Hard to fancy ranked last of seven on our figures, Too Much Trevor has been out of the placings in one of his last three starts, and his speed rating of 55 gives little encouragement, though he does bring distance and going experience and returns fit on just nine days' rest.

AI verdict

SR 70 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Harry Vigors(5) 12%

Grace Harris 10%

9-9

16/1 17/2 14/1

Savannah Smiles won three starts back and was second two starts back, but she was well held in sixth last time out, so there are questions about current form; she has run over today's trip and going before, and 135 lb from stall five are the key conditions she faces here.

AI verdict

SR 50 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Age 7 · 9-9

-45096

Joanna Mason 12%

Michael & David Easterby 10%

9-9

14/1 17/2 10/1

Winless in his last five starts, Le Beau Garcon nonetheless holds a rating of 69 against an official mark of 64, suggesting he retains untapped potential, and he arrives fit on a 13-day turnaround with distance and going experience to call on; the risk is that his recent string of poor finishes makes an immediate turnaround hard to guarantee.

AI verdict

SR 47 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 14/1.

Connie's Rose

Rossa Ryan 18%

Grace Harris 10%

11/2 15/2 9/2

Connie's Rose has been knocking on the door in recent starts, finishing second twice in her last six, and she has experience of today's trip and conditions — her rating of 69 makes her a genuine second-string threat, though she remains winless and must convert consistency into something more.

Lewis Edmunds 12%

9-8

20/1 12/1 16/1

Zoulu Warrior landed a win five starts back and has run over today's trip and going, giving him solid claims on conditions, while our rating of 66 edges his official mark; the worry is three consecutive disappointing efforts in his last three starts.

AI verdict

SR 49 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

Benoit de la Sayette 13%

George Baker 10%

9-8

13/2 3/1 5/1

Calafrio won last time out and has experience of today's trip and going, but she ranks eighth of ten on our figures and a speed rating of 61 does little to inspire confidence; the burden of 134 lb adds another reason to be cautious.

AI verdict

SR 63 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Nicola Currie 8%

25/1 6/1 22/1

Benavente comes into this in fine fettle after winning last time out, and he has experience over today's trip and going to call on; a 144-day absence is worth noting, but his rating of 77 marks him as the one to beat from stall one carrying 130 lb.

AI verdict

SR 58 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 16/1.

Vape

Charlie Tucker(7) 10%

9-2

22/1 FCST 18/1

Winless in his last five starts, Vape's best recent effort was a second five starts back, though a fourth two starts back hints at some ability; he has run over today's distance and going before, and returns after 33 days off carrying 128 lb from stall four.

AI verdict

SR 43 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 20/1.

Billy Loughnane 18%

5/4 11/4 5/4

Arnaz won last time out and returns on a quick nine-day turnaround, giving him fitness claims, and he has run over today's trip and going before; however, five modest efforts prior to that victory and a mark of 54 suggest he faces a stiff test off stall eight carrying 125 lb.

AI verdict

SR 70 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Marisitta

Ashley Lewis(3) 14%

17/2 15/2 6/1

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Marisitta faces a stiff task, though she does arrive on the back of a runner-up finish last time and has experience of today's trip and going; one win in her last six starts makes her hard to fancy at the weights with 121 lb to carry.

AI verdict

SR 50 suggests ability but 9/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

AI verdict

SR 56 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
