Tai Hang Pegasus

Age 3 · 9-9

36-476

Paddy Bradley 9%

Charlie Fellowes 11%

9-9

5/1 9/2 5/1

Tai Hang Pegasus is winless in his last five starts and could only finish sixth last time; a fourth earlier in the sequence hints at a little more, and he carries 135 lb with plenty to prove.

AI verdict

Moderate Saturday Rating of 70, inconsistent form (36-476), and 9-9 weight limit the 6/1 shot's winning prospects.

Zurna

Age 3 · 9-8

972

Dylan Hogan 11%

Julia & Shelley Birkett 14%

9-8

7/2 9/4 7/2

Zurna ran to a better level when runner-up last time, but he remains winless in his last three starts and rates bottom of this small field on our figures; that recent second is the only real sign of ability.

AI verdict

Zurna's modest Saturday Rating of 71 and uninspiring form figures of 972 limit appeal despite fair 11/2 odds.

Celestarak

Age 3 · 9-7

580-91

Jack Doughty 13%

David Menuisier 13%

9-7

6/4 FCST 18/13

Celestarak won last time out to end a run of modest finishes and tops our figures here, having already raced over today's 12f on good to firm; a first-time hood adds interest, though the yard must back up that turnaround.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 78 and fair 13/8 odds are offset by top weight 9-7 and inconsistent form figures 580-91.

Society Girl

Age 3 · 9-4

47-80

Ashley Lewis 14%

Ed Walker 16%

9-4

13/2 11/2 13/2

Society Girl was unplaced last time and is winless in her last four starts, though she has raced over today's 12f on good to firm before; a 59-day layoff is a further concern.

AI verdict

Poor recent form (47-80) and a high weight of 9-4 undermine her 68 Saturday Rating at 11/2.

Darkest Red

Age 3 · 8-12

7-6222

Callum Hutchinson 12%

Jim Boyle 10%

8-12

5/1 5/2 5/1

Darkest Red is winless in his last five starts but three seconds point to a horse crying out for a change of luck; he has raced over today's 12f on good to firm before, with a modest recent figure the query for this danger.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-12 at odds of 5/2 with a Saturday Rating of 77 and uninspiring 7-6222 form limits confidence to a mid-tier rating.

Potomac River

Age 4 · 9-9

523-67

Daniel Muscutt 14%

T. J. Kent 17%

9-9

6/1 FCST 11/2

Potomac River is winless in his last five starts, though a second and third among them show he stays competitive without getting his head in front; he has raced over today's 7f on good to firm before, with first-time tongue-tie the change to note.

AI verdict

Rated just 70 with inconsistent form of 523-67 and dismissed at 6/1 by the market, Potomac River lacks the profile to compete.

Stenmark

Age 4 · 9-9

3-5538

Rhys Clutterbuck 11%

Gihan Arnolda 11%

9-9

9/2 5/1 4/1

Stenmark is winless in his last five starts but has been competitive, with two thirds among that sequence and useful figures; he has raced over today's 7f on good to firm before, though he still needs to find that extra yard at the finish.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-9 with a Saturday Rating of 73 and uninspiring recent form of 3-5538 limits Stenmark's appeal at 5/1.

Silver Trumpet

Age 5 · 9-7

5-4376

Callum Hutchinson 12%

Eve Johnson Houghton 13%

9-7

7/2 3/1 7/2

Silver Trumpet is winless in his last five starts but a third among them shows he stays involved in mid-field company, and he has raced over today's 7f on good to firm before; first-time cheekpieces could sharpen him up as the main danger to our selection.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-7 with modest form 5-4376 and a Saturday Rating of 75 limits Silver Trumpet despite fair 3/1 market odds.

Panelli

Age 4 · 9-6

68-422

Neil Callan 14%

Stuart Williams 13%

9-6

4/1 3/1 4/1

Panelli is winless in his last five starts, though a pair of seconds and the fastest figures among these rivals hint at claims; a 147-day absence and first-time tongue-tie are queries, but he has raced over today's 7f on good to firm before.

AI verdict

Panelli's Saturday Rating of 82 and consistent form of 68-422 at 4/1 suggest mid-tier potential carrying 9-6.

Jersey Maverick

Age 4 · 9-6

2-6282

Paddy Bradley 9%

Charlie Fellowes 11%

9-6

11/4 FCST 5/2

Jersey Maverick is winless in his last five starts but has been admirably consistent, with three seconds showing he is competitive without getting there; he tops our figures, has raced over today's 7f on good to firm, and wears a first-time visor, with finding that extra yard the only query.

AI verdict

Moderate Saturday Rating of 78 and inconsistent form (2-6282) at 9-6 weight limit tempers confidence despite fair 5/2 odds.

Dandy Khan

Age 4 · 8-10

715356

Jack Doughty 13%

Jim Boyle 10%

8-10

9/1 7/1 9/1

Dandy Khan has a win among her last six starts but was well held last time, sixth of that finish, and rates bottom of this field on our figures; she does have experience over today's 7f on good to firm before, though a 97-day absence adds to the questions.

AI verdict

Inconsistent form (715356) and a Saturday Rating of 63 limit appeal despite fair odds of 17/2 at 8-10.

Aberama Gold

Age 9 · 10-2

416035

Daniel Muscutt 14%

David O'Meara 13%

10-2

9/4 5/2 2/1

Aberama Gold has raced over today's 6f on good to firm before, and a win among mixed form in his last six starts shows he retains ability; fresh for this after 19 days off, he tops our figures and wears a first-time visor.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 10-2 with patchy form (416035) and a Saturday Rating of 78 limits Aberama Gold's winning prospects despite fair 10/3 odds.

Rage Of Thunder

Age 4 · 10-0

2-0051

Tom Queally 10%

Gary & Josh Moore 11%

10-0

11/4 9/4 11/4

Rage Of Thunder returns fresh 16 days after winning last time out, with a second also among his last five starts, and he has raced over today's 6f on good to firm before; a leading threat to our selection, though he needs to confirm that level again.

AI verdict

Rated 77 with inconsistent form (2-0051) and burdened by 10-0, the 9/4 market price reflects genuine but limited winning claims.

Twirler

Age 5 · 9-9

775120

Paddy Bradley 9%

Michael Attwater 9%

9-9

12/1

Twirler has a win and a second in her last six starts to suggest ability, but she was unplaced last time and needs to rediscover that form; she has raced over today's 6f on good to firm before and returns after a 16-day break.

AI verdict

Twirler's weak Saturday Rating of 64, lengthy 12/1 odds, and inconsistent form (775120) signal limited winning prospects despite carrying 9-9.

Acclaimed Freedom

Age 3 · 9-7

1-8624

Neil Callan 14%

George Scott 20%

9-7

3/1

Acclaimed Freedom finished fourth last time but returns quickly, just five days on, and won earlier in this sequence to underline his ability; proven over today's 6f on good to firm, with first-time cheekpieces the only query for a leading contender.

AI verdict

Carrying 9-7 with patchy form (1-8624) and a Saturday Rating of 77 makes 10/3 an unconvincing price.

King Of Chaos

Age 3 · 9-5

597731

Rhys Clutterbuck 11%

Dylan Cunha 13%

9-5

12/1 9/2 12/1

King Of Chaos won last time out and has raced over today's 6f on good to firm before, giving him claims among the dangers; the yard is out of form with no winners from its last 28, and it is 23 days since that success.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 77 and inconsistent form (597731) at 9-5 weight limits confidence despite fair 5/1 odds.

Ancient Times

Age 8 · 9-4

0600-0

Callum Hutchinson 12%

Harry Eustace 13%

9-4

16/1 18/1 14/1

Ancient Times is winless in his last five starts, with only a sixth to show for that sequence, though he has raced over today's 6f on good to firm before; first-time tongue-tie and 20 days off offer some hope of an improved showing.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 48, winless form reading 0600-0, and 20/1 odds signal Ancient Times holds no realistic chance here.

Balon D'or

Age 5 · 9-1

06-764

Tyler Heard 7%

Simon Dow 11%

9-1

16/1 8/1 16/1

Balon d'Or is winless in his last five starts and ranks near the foot of our figures for this; a 35-day break and first-time cheekpieces are the only changes, and he does at least have experience over today's 6f on good to firm.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-1 with poor recent form of 06-764 and a Saturday Rating of just 61 makes 8/1 unappealing.

Harry Brown

Age 6 · 8-11

691420

Ashley Lewis 14%

Peter Crate 10%

8-11

16/1 22/1 14/1

Harry Brown sits bottom of our figures here despite a win among his last six starts, with an unplaced effort last time far less encouraging; he does have experience over today's 6f on good to firm and returns quickly after just 10 days.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 45 and poor recent form (691420) at 25/1 odds make Harry Brown a weak contender.

Happy Banner

Age 4 · 10-2

62-332

Ashley Lewis 14%

Ed Walker 16%

10-2

5/1 11/4 5/1

Yet to win in his last five starts, Happy Banner has been placed four times, twice as runner-up, and returns 12 days after his latest run over today's trip and going. He also tops our rating, with the missing win his only real query.

AI verdict

Consistent form figures of 62-332 and a competitive Saturday Rating of 80 at 3/1 suggest solid place prospects without a winning edge.

Tronido

Age 5 · 9-13

058140

Paddy Bradley 9%

Simon Dow 11%

9-13

7/1 12/1 13/2

Tronido was unplaced last time but landed a win earlier in this sequence, a mare who retains ability. She returns over today's trip and going 10 days on with a first-time hood added, though that recent below-par run is the risk.

AI verdict

Low Saturday Rating of 59, top weight of 9-13, and 16/1 odds suggest the market holds little confidence in Tronido's inconsistent form.

Darvel

Age 8 · 9-11

-95002

Callum Hutchinson 12%

Patrick Chamings 9%

9-11

16/1 8/1 16/1

Darvel's latest run was a solid second, a big step up on the two unplaced efforts before it, and he already knows today's trip and going. First-time blinkers go on 18 days later, though a fifth and ninth earlier in that sequence temper the case.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-11 with a Saturday Rating of 66 and poor recent form of -95002 at 8/1 makes Darvel an unconvincing pick.

Prodigal Son

Age 4 · 9-11

58-137

Daniel Muscutt 14%

Heather Main 12%

9-11

16/1 FCST 12/1

Prodigal Son rates bottom of our field and was well beaten last time out, though he won three starts back and has already raced over today's trip and going. First-time blinkers are added after 39 days off, but the two modest efforts since that win temper any optimism.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-11 with a Saturday Rating of just 49, poor recent form 58-137, and dismissed by the market at 25/1 confirms limited winning prospects.

Buy The Dip

Age 6 · 9-9

4-1626

Luke Catton 12%

Jim Boyle 10%

9-9

20/1 12/1 20/1

Buy The Dip won four starts back but has cooled since, sixth last time out following a promising second and another sixth in between. He returns over today's trip and going 9 days on, with more needed after that recent dip in form.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 62 and weak 4-1626 form make 14/1 odds hard to recommend despite carrying 9-9.

Play Me

Age 4 · 9-7

2-3441

Donagh Murphy 8%

Jim Boyle 10%

9-7

5/1 4/1 5/1

Play Me won last time out and has been rock-solid throughout, with a second, a third and two fourths among his other last five starts. He returns over today's trip and going 30 days on, the only concern being the extended break.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-7 with a modest Saturday Rating of 73 and patchy form of 2-3441 limits confidence despite fair 4/1 odds.

Swiped

Age 3 · 9-5

5-5212

Rhys Clutterbuck 11%

Ralph Beckett 19%

9-5

11/8 3/2 6/5

Swiped was runner-up last time, with a win earlier in this sequence and mixed form further back. He returns over today's trip and going just 8 days later, fitness on his side, the main risk being any dip from that earlier form.

AI verdict

Rated 84 with solid 5-5212 form, but 9-5 weight and 7/4 odds suggest the market sees only moderate winning chances.

Ritaal

Age 3 · 9-2

220-34

Jack Doughty 13%

William Muir & Chris Grassick 11%

9-2

11/1 17/2 11/1

Ritaal has yet to win and was fourth last time, with a couple of runner-up efforts earlier in the spell. She has raced over today's trip before but is fresh from a 35-day break, leaving her needing to rediscover that promise to feature.

AI verdict

Rated 71 with inconsistent form (220-34) and unfancied at 17/2, Ritaal lacks the market confidence to warrant more than 3 stars.

Living In Hope

Age 3 · 9-9

05-4

Callum Hutchinson 12%

Harry Eustace 13%

9-9

17/2 10/1 8/1

Living In Hope is winless in her last three starts, following a fourth with a fifth and an unplaced effort further back. She returns 34 days after that latest run, and with our rating well below several rivals here, this looks a stiff task.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 51, 12/1 odds, and poor form of 05-4 make Living In Hope a weak contender carrying 9-9.

Sail On Sailor

Age 3 · 9-7

7-2311

Paddy Bradley 9%

Simon Dow 11%

9-7

2/1 6/5 2/1

Sail On Sailor has won his last two starts, adding a third and a second in the two runs before that, with a seventh his only blip in the last five. The 35-day absence since is the main concern, but this is clearly strong recent form.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-7 with a modest Saturday Rating of 67 limits appeal despite solid recent form of 2311.

Don Pablo Colina

Age 3 · 9-6

568

Neil Callan 14%

George Baker 10%

9-6

9/1 10/1 8/1

Don Pablo Colina was well beaten last time, finishing eighth, with modest efforts before that too. He still rates a shade above his official mark on our figures, but that fading recent form and 33 days off are the main risk here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 49, poor form reading 568, and 12/1 odds signal minimal market confidence in this 9-6 weighted runner.

Minerality

Age 3 · 9-6

896

Jack Doughty 13%

Dr Richard Newland & Jamie Insole 11%

9-6

16/1 10/1 16/1

Minerality is rated last of the seven runners on our figures and has struggled for form, finishing sixth, ninth and eighth in his last three starts without a win. There is little in these figures to suggest a first win is imminent, even fresh from 31 days off.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 52, poor form figures of 896, and 10/1 odds signal minimal winning chances carrying 9-6.

Sweep In Time

Age 2 · 9-3

595-

Daniel Muscutt 14%

Tom Clover 17%

9-3

9/2 FCST 4/1

Sweep In Time's official mark undersells her on our figures, following two fifths and a ninth in her last three starts without a win. A 190-day absence is the obvious concern, but the scope for improvement on that gap makes her one of the dangers.

AI verdict

Rated just 55 with poor form figures of 595- and carrying 9-3, Sweep In Time offers little appeal at 13/2.

Takeitorleaveit

Age 3 · 9-2

4-1722

Donagh Murphy 8%

Jonathan Portman 13%

9-2

15/8 9/4 32/17

Takeitorleaveit has been rarely out of the frame, with back-to-back seconds his last two runs and a win four starts back, a seventh his only blip in the last five. First-time cheekpieces go on for today's trip and going, ground he knows, and he tops our rating here.

AI verdict

A 67 Saturday Rating and inconsistent 4-1722 form undermine the 9/4 odds despite a manageable 9-2 weight.

Cormorant Rock

Age 3 · 8-4

048

Tyler Heard 7%

Jim Boyle 10%

8-4

40/1 22/1 33/1

Cormorant Rock is winless in his last three starts, an eighth, a fourth and an unplaced effort, though he does carry a fair speed figure and already knows today's trip and going. A modest official mark and 24 days off leave plenty to find here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 26, weak 048 form, and 25/1 odds signal no market confidence at 8-4 weight.
