Ranked fifth of six on our figures, Breacher is hard to fancy at these weights, though he does arrive on a short turnaround in decent heart — a winner two starts back and third last time out — with experience over today's trip at least in his favour.

Desert Castle arrives on the back of a recent win and has run over today's trip, with a rating of 104 giving him strong claims from stall five; the sole risk is whether 36 days off the track has left him shy of peak sharpness.

Gentle Hurricane arrives here in cracking nick, finishing second last time out following a win two starts back, and he has experience of both today's trip and conditions; the main risk is whether his speed rating of 78 can match the very best in this field.

Twice a winner in his last three starts, having been fourth before that, and he has run over today's trip and going before, but our rating of 89 leaves him ranked bottom of six here, making him very hard to recommend despite that recent winning form.

Sergei Diaghilev arrives on the back of a recent victory, and was also a winner three starts back, making him a potent force here; the concern is whether that ninth-placed effort two starts back points to any vulnerability under his 128 lb burden.

Dubai Bling arrives here fit on a 21-day turnaround, has run over today's trip and going, and his third last time out shows he is knocking on the door from stall one carrying 138 lb; the risk is that he has been in and out of form in recent starts.

Getreadytorumble has been winless in his last five starts but shaped with promise when second last time out, and has experience of today's distance and going; the 49-day absence and a hefty 137 lb from stall 20 are the questions connections must answer.

Winner two starts back, and Al Shabab Storm arrives here fit on a 13-day turnaround having already sampled today's trip and conditions; carrying 137 lb from stall eight, his profile merits respect despite a fifth last time out.

Badri arrives in decent nick just 13 days after finishing third, and his record shows three wins in his last six starts, including back-to-back victories four and five starts back; he has experience of today's trip and going, though his unplaced effort three starts back is a mild concern at 134 lb from stall 22.

A winner two starts back but eighth last time out, Air Force One blows hot and cold; he has run over today's distance and going before, carries a big 133 lb from stall 17, and that weight burden is the obvious check on his claims here.

Winless in his last five starts, The Strikin Viking has at least been closer to the action further back in that sequence, and he has experience over today's distance and going; 41 days off and 133 lb from stall nine are the checks against him here.
AI verdict

SR 71 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 33/1.

Winless in his last six starts, Annaf nonetheless shaped with promise when third four starts back, and he arrives here fit on 21 days' rest with experience of today's trip and going; the weight of 132 lb is the key risk to his chances.
AI verdict

25/1 22/1 20/1
Ranked well down the field on our figures, Atomic Force faces a stiff task from stall 10 off a 91-day absence, and at 131 lb he carries plenty of weight, though he has experience over today's trip and going, and his recent form includes a second last time out and two wins in his last six starts.
AI verdict

SR 75 suggests ability but 33/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

9-4
6/1 9/1 11/2
Toca Madera has been placing without winning — third and second in recent starts — yet also unplaced twice in his last six, so consistency is the concern; he has run over today's trip and going, carries 130 lb from stall 11, and our rating of 102 suggests he retains ability yet to be converted.

SR 99 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked 16 of 21 on our figures, Super Soldier has been consistently unplaced in recent outings and returns after 85 days off, making him hard to fancy despite experience over today's distance and going and a trainer firing at 26% in the last fortnight.
AI verdict

SR 68 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 50/1.

11/2 FCST 5/1
Twilight Calls has won three of his last six starts, including back-to-back victories, and has experience of today's trip and conditions, but 46 days off the track raises a fitness query and 129 lb is no easy burden from stall seven.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 9-3 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Winless in his last five starts, Against The Wind did at least show a flash of form with a third four starts back, though three unplaced efforts since then are the concern; experience over today's trip and going, plus a quick 24-day turnaround, offer some encouragement.
AI verdict

Desert Falcon returns on a fair 21-day break with experience of today's distance and going, and he showed a useful level when winning five starts back, though three successive disappointing efforts since — including two ninths — are hard to ignore at a mark of 93.

Beaten in his last three starts and ranked well down our figures at 15 of 21, Schrodinger's Cat is hard to fancy on current form, though he has experience over today's trip and going, and stall 2 is his draw.

Apollo One is winless in his last six starts but our rating of 107 puts him top of these by the narrowest margin, and fourth last time out hints at a return to form after 24 days; he has run over today's trip and going, though converting that into a win remains the key question.

Ranked near the foot of our assessments with a speed rating well below par, I'm Next is hard to fancy on these figures despite two wins in his last six starts; he has experience of today's distance and going, and a 28-day break at least suggests he arrives fresh.

16/1 12/1 14/1
Ranked near the foot of the assessments here, Station X faces a stiff ask off 89, and drawing stall 16 is simply a neutral fact we cannot spin; that said, he does arrive on a fair recent sequence — a winner last time out and two wins in his last six starts — with the distance and going holding no fears.
AI verdict

SR 90 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures and drawn in stall 19, Eternal Sunshine is hard to fancy despite winning last time out; she has experience of today's distance and going, but her overall recent profile is patchy and the weight of 123 lb does her no favours.

Rosario won last time out, which catches the eye, but ranked 18th of 21 on our figures he faces a stiff task giving nothing away, and five modest efforts before that recent success do little to inspire confidence despite him having distance and going experience to call upon.
AI verdict

Winless in his last five starts, Jel Pepper at least has experience of today's distance and going to call upon, and a ninth last time out is the obvious concern, though a pair of fourths in recent starts suggests he retains some ability from stall 14 off 123 lb.

Twice placed in his last five starts, More Thunder returns after 27 days and has run over today's trip and going, with our rating ranking him the pick of the eight runners — though his inability to convert, finishing fifth last time out, is the obvious concern.

Never So Brave arrives here fit on a 28-day turnaround, with experience over today's trip and going in his favour, and that second three starts back gives his recent form a solid foundation — though he remains winless in his last five and faces a stiff test from draw 8 carrying 132 lb.

Qirat brings distance and going experience to this assignment and was a winner four starts back, though a ninth two starts back clouds his recent form; the 132 lb burden is a significant ask, and he faces a competitive field from stall one.

Consistent enough in recent starts — second last time out and third two starts back among his finishes — but Volterra has been off the track for 168 days and remains yet to win in his last five, with a rating of 111 suggesting he holds his own without quite threatening at the top.

Witness Stand shaped with promise when third two starts back, and has run over today's trip and going, giving him a solid claims profile off a mark of 111 from stall 3; the risk is his tendency to disappoint, winless in his last six starts.

Flora Of Bermuda arrives on the back of back-to-back wins, with three victories in her last five starts painting a picture of a mare in fine fettle; she has experience of today's distance and going, and 21 days since her last run suggests she is fresh and ready, though that unplaced run latest time out is the chief concern.

Consistent and in fine heart, Christmas Day won three starts back and was placed last time out, arriving here on a retrieval mission after that third; the main risk is whether 129 lb stretches his stamina on today's going.

Ranked last on our figures, Highwayman faces a stiff ask despite consecutive wins last time out and two starts back, as his speed rating of 72 and a mark of 101 suggest he meets a competitive field at a disadvantage, though he has run over today's trip and going before.

SR 92 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Consistent without landing the big one, Pierre Bonnard has been placed in three of his last five starts and returns in good time on 24 days' rest; he handles today's going and carries 129 lb, but his overall profile makes him the pick here.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 9-3 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Rebel Rocker caught the eye with a second three starts back and a win four starts back, and he handles today's going, but back-to-back finishes of sixth and fourth in his most recent pair make him hard to rely on at the weights.

Placed last time out and a winner five starts back, Amelia Earhart arrives on a workable 29-day break with experience over today's trip and going, and her rating of 111 suggests she holds solid claims; the worry is that three poor efforts in between that win cast some doubt on consistency.

SR 86 suggests ability but 25/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

17/2 5/1 15/2
Bullet Point has posted back-to-back runner-up finishes in his most recent starts and, carrying 138 lb from stall 9, arrives here with distance and going experience to call upon; the concern is he remains winless in recent starts and must prove he can convert.

Ranked 14 of 17 on our figures, Mister Winston has been out of the frame in his last three starts, including a seventh most recently, and while he does carry winning form from four starts back, the weight of 137 lb and a wide draw at 17 make him hard to fancy here.
AI verdict

SR 69 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 33/1.

Winless in his last six starts, Ebt's Guard nonetheless catches the eye as the top-rated runner in this field of 17, and he shaped with promise when fourth last time out just 14 days ago — crucially, he has experience of today's trip and going; the risk is that his recent record shows a struggle to convert.

Second two starts back shows Fifth Column capable of competing at this level, and a trainer firing at 33% over the past fortnight keeps him firmly in contention from stall 2; the concern is that he's been winless in recent starts and returns after 87 days off.

Mezcala has winning form in his recent starts, scoring two starts back, but comes here on the back of an unplaced effort and a 49-day absence; he has run over today's distance and going, and 133 lb from stall 14 makes life no easier.

Blue Courvoisier won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but a third and an unplaced effort in the two starts before that show inconsistency, and carrying 130 lb from stall 15 gives him plenty to do against a 17-runner field.

River King returns after 86 days off for a trainer who has managed just two wins from 52 runners in the last fortnight, and his speed rating of 82 is well below what looks required ranked 13 of 17, making him very hard to fancy despite a winner two starts back.

Ranked 16 of 17 on our figures makes Inspired hard to fancy on ratings, but his recent form is genuinely eye-catching — a winner two starts back, and victorious again last time out, he arrives fresh on six days' rest with a trainer firing at 26% and distance-and-going experience in his favour.

Thunder Run arrives here in decent nick — placed last time out and again two starts back, with experience over today's trip and going, a yard firing at 26% in the last fortnight, and a top rating among the twelve runners that marks him as the one to beat, though he remains yet to score in recent starts.

City Of Poets arrives on the back of a win last time out, and his record shows two victories in his last six starts with experience over today's trip and going — the main risk is whether he can bounce back from an unplaced effort two starts back and deliver under 131 lb from stall 8.

Bunyola Bay won two of his last five starts, with back-to-back victories three and four starts back, but has been unplaced in each of his last two outings and returns after 43 days off with a struggling trainer posting just 4% recently; he has run over today's trip and carries 128 lb from stall 6.

Winless in his last five starts, Flying Frontier does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, and 14 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh; however, a string of sevenths and eighths in recent efforts makes it hard to fancy him reversing that trend from stall three off 124 lb.
