Reese Holohan 10%

Adrian McGuinness 9%

10-0

6/1 4/1 11/2

Coincidental Glory was third last time out and has run over today's trip and going, with our rating of 74 marking him out as a genuine danger in this field; the chief concern is a trainer currently without a winner in 42 attempts over the past fortnight.

AI verdict

SR 61 suggests ability but 15/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Leveraging

61-060

Jack Cleary 8%

Ms Sheila Lavery 5%

10-0

18/1 FCST 16/1

Leveraging has run over today's trip and going, and that experience counts in his favour alongside a rating of 72 that marks him as a genuine threat in this field; the concern is that he has been unplaced in two of his last three starts, so consistency remains the question.

AI verdict

SR 44 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 28/1.

Conor Cusack 8%

P J F Murphy 5%

9-12

6/1 11/2 6/1

Mehman arrives on the back of a fifth two starts back and holds the strongest rating in a field of 13, making him the one to beat despite being winless in his last six starts, with experience over today's distance and going a further tick in his favour.

AI verdict

SR 66 suggests ability but 11/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Soulful Diva

Rebecca Parsons 4%

David Marnane 10%

9-11

14/1 9/1 14/1

Soulful Diva has run over today's trip and going, and our rating has her ranked second in this field at 79, making her a genuine threat despite carrying 137 lb from stall nine; the risk is that she has been winless in her last five starts, with two ninth-place finishes in recent outings.

AI verdict

SR 60 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 12/1.

28/1 16/1 28/1

Profit Surge was a winner three starts back but has been unplaced on her most recent outing, and while she has run over today's distance and going, 135 lb is a stiff burden to overcome from stall seven.

AI verdict

SR 49 suggests ability but 22/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

11/1 5/1 11/1

Boston Max showed smart form three starts back and four starts back, winning on both occasions, but his most recent efforts — fifth last time out and a 76-day absence — are the checks that keep him a midfield proposition despite distance and going experience in his favour.

SR 67 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Kc Bear

11/1 13/2 11/1

Winless in his last six starts, with his most recent efforts a sixth and seventh, Kc Bear drops back with experience over today's trip and going in his favour, though a trainer without a win in 24 attempts over the past fortnight is a significant concern from stall 10 off 128 lb.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked 12 of 13 on our figures, Prince Andorra faces a stiff task here; back just four days after an unplaced effort, though he has run over today's distance and going before and carries a manageable 127 lb from stall eight.

AI verdict

SR 34 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 50/1.

Caffu Zafeen has shown little consistency in recent starts, with unplaced efforts dominating his last six, and ranked tenth of thirteen on our figures he faces a stiff task here, though his latest win and experience over today's trip and going offer slim encouragement.

Winless in her last five starts, with three eighths among them, Frosted Sky is hard to fancy at a rating of 53, though she has run over today's distance and going before and returns on a relatively sharp 16-day turnaround from draw 1.

AI verdict

SR 44 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

25/1 14/1 22/1

Winless in his last six starts and ranked last on our figures, Spirit Above faces a stiff task off an official rating of 52 after 76 days off, with an unplaced effort on his most recent outing and a second three starts back the only flicker of encouragement in a largely disappointing recent sequence.

AI verdict

SR 42 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 20/1.

TBA

P J F Murphy 5%

9-0

SP FCST 20/1

Winless in his last four starts and carrying 126 lb from stall seven, One Cool County is hard to fancy on these terms — our rating of 38 leaves him significantly below the field, and recent form offers little encouragement.

AI verdict

SR 24 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 22/1.

David Marnane 10%

7/1 6/1 7/1

Movin And Groovin showed she can win at this level with a victory three starts back, and she brings distance and going experience to draw six carrying 136 lb, but a seventh last time out raises questions about her current consistency.

SR 53 suggests ability but 15/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Thomas Coyle 4%

33/1 25/1 33/1

Winless in his last six starts and ranked bottom of the field on our figures, River Derwent faces a stiff task here; 128 days off the track adds a fitness query, though he has run over today's distance and going before.

AI verdict

SR 22 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 33/1.

10/3 4/1 11/4

Winless in his last six starts, Usuario Amigo nonetheless shaped with promise when third two runs back, and he has experience of today's trip and going to call on; drawn in stall four carrying 142 lb, our rating of 65 marks him as the one to beat in this field of 14.

SR 59 suggests ability but 4/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

9/2 9/2 4/1

Beat The Devil has run over today's trip and going before and, rated 59 by our assessors, ranks fourth of 14 — a fair case that he retains ability, though his recent sequence makes grim reading and he arrives winless in his last six starts.

SR 52 suggests ability but 5/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last five starts, Bright Dick has nonetheless shown he can mix it at this level with a third two starts back, and he returns on 24 days' rest having run over today's trip and going before; the main concern is a tendency to finish out of the frame.

AI verdict

Consistent but frustrating, Storm Eric has finished second three times in his last six starts yet remains winless, and while he has run over today's trip and going before, an official mark of 53 and a midfield ranking suggest he faces a stiff task here.

SR 52 suggests ability but 11/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in her last five starts, Colugo's two thirds in recent form offer some encouragement, though her subsequent unplaced efforts and 135 lb give her plenty to find from stall 12 at a rating of 51.

AI verdict

SR 23 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 40/1.

50/1 25/1 50/1

Winless in his last five starts, Never Mind Me at least has the experience of today's trip and conditions to call upon, though two unplaced efforts in succession are hard to ignore; 41 days off and 135 lb from stall two make this a tough ask for a gelding rated just 51 officially.

Queen Leila won three starts back but has been unplaced in both runs since, and at 132 lb from stall 13 the weight is no featherweight burden; she has run over today's trip and going, though, giving her at least some familiar conditions to draw on.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked towards the foot of the field on our ratings, Dubai Opulence does at least bring distance experience to the table, though a 51-day absence and a tough draw in stall 17 add further question marks for a gelding that has managed no better than fourth in recent starts.

Winless in her last six starts, with four unplaced efforts among them, Lady Landhort is hard to fancy on these figures, ranked outside the field on our ratings; she has run over today's trip and going before, and 16 days since her last outing suggests she is at least fit.

Kilcrea Rock won last time out and has experience of today's trip and conditions, but ranked last of seven on our figures with a speed rating of 76, he faces a stiff ask at the weights carrying 133 lb.

Consistent without a win in recent starts, Military Order boasts a profile that demands respect — second twice and third once in his last three outings, with experience over today's distance and going working in his favour; the 315-day absence is the one query, but he rates top of these on our figures from stall two.

Geryon arrives here in decent nick after a runner-up finish two starts back and a win three starts back, has run over today's trip, and his rating of 113 marks him as a genuine second-string threat; the fifth last time out is the one concern.

Favourable weight of 9-6 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Alla Stella has finished second twice in recent starts and brings solid placed form to the table, with experience over today's trip adding to her claims; the 44-day absence is the one question mark she must answer on reappearance.

Nuit won two starts back but comes off a disappointing ninth last time out, and while she has run over today's trip and going before, that recent blip and a demanding 128 lb make it hard to be fully confident, even if her rating of 96 hints at ability.

Winless in her last six starts, with finishes of ninth and seventh among a string of unplaced efforts, Spicy Margarita is hard to fancy from stall one carrying 128 lb, and though she has run over today's trip and going and returns after just 12 days, our rating of 96 ranks her sixth of seven.

Rock Of Claremont won last time out but that victory came 44 days ago, and his our rating of 79 sits below the official mark, with a wide draw at stall 17 to factor in; however, he has run over today's going before and the recent winning form gives him a live chance.

Trumph has been winless in her last five starts, finishing unplaced on three occasions in that spell, and a rating of 56 leaves her looking well held on figures here; the one saving grace is experience over today's trip, though that offers little comfort given the overall profile.

22/1 18/1 22/1

Flame Of Forest has been winless in his last five starts, but back-to-back seconds four and five starts back hint at genuine ability, and he has run over today's distance and going before; the concern is a 107-day absence and a recent run of three consecutive unplaced efforts.

Nakasero ran a fine second two starts back and has experience of today's trip and going, with our rating nudging above his official mark suggesting he may be ahead of the assessor; the risk is that last week's seventh — his most recent outing — leaves his current form open to question.

Lough Leane arrives on the back of a second last time out and a winner two starts back, so he brings solid recent form, and he has experience of today's trip and going. However, carrying 136 lb from stall 5 and ranked eleventh of fourteen on speed ratings gives him plenty to find.

Walhaan catches the eye as the second-ranked runner in the field, with our rating of 85 suggesting he is ahead of his official mark of 73, and he has run over today's distance and going before; the worry is a run of unplaced efforts in recent starts and 113 days off the track.

Camino Lad arrives on the back of a win last time out and has run over today's trip, though a fourth two starts back tempers enthusiasm, and shouldering 132 lb from stall one will test whether that recent winning form can be sustained.

Tribal Moon has been winless in his last five starts, and ranked 13 of 14 on our figures he faces a stiff ask here; a third three starts back and a second two starts back offer some encouragement, but his latest run was unplaced and he cannot be fancied with confidence.

Winless in his last six starts, Quatre Bras nevertheless steps up on an official mark of 69 with our rating suggesting more ability than that, and he has run over today's trip and conditions before; the concern is a persistent tendency to find only mid-division, and 129 lb from stall ten adds no help.
