9-9
6/1 6/1 11/2
Winless in his last five starts, Mr Withington's best recent effort was a third five starts back, and he has done little since to build on it — yet he arrives fit at 26 days, has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 56 marks him as the one to beat here.
AI verdict

SR 53 suggests ability but 6/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

7/2 11/4 3/1
Gemini Man won three of his last six starts, including back-to-back wins three and four starts back, and has experience of today's trip and going — a genuine threat at 135 lb. The concern is his latest two outings: a pull-up and a ninth last time out suggest his form has dipped sharply.
AI verdict

SR 60 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Consistent sort who has been placed three times in his last five starts, most recently a second 24 days ago — he has run over today's trip and going and arrives fit. The risk is he remains winless in recent starts.

9/2 7/2 9/2
Sophiesticate has been consistent without threatening the lead, posting thirds in her last three starts, though a sixth and seventh before that temper expectations; she has run over today's trip and going, and 11 days between runs suggests she arrives fresh enough, but she remains yet to win in recent starts.
AI verdict

SR 57 suggests ability but 9/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

80/1
Winless in his last four starts and pulled up on one of those occasions, Ivynator arrives 35 days fresh with experience of today's trip and going to call on — though the main concern is that unplaced efforts dominate his recent form, and 130 lb is a stiff burden at an official mark of 48.
AI verdict

SR 27 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 80/1.

20/1 16/1 20/1
Yakhabar has placed third last time out — and was fourth three starts back — but has gone winless in his last six starts, and that ninth two starts back is a concern; experience over today's trip and going at least means conditions hold no surprises.
AI verdict

SR 33 suggests ability but 20/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last six starts despite a clutch of runner-up finishes, Falaise Blanc heads here ranked seventh of nine on our figures and carries 128 lb; he has run over today's trip and going, which offers some grounding, but it's hard to look past a woeful official mark of 46.
AI verdict

SR 57 suggests ability but 9/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last four starts — two fourths and two unplaced efforts — Liberty Looming also returns after 81 days off, and ranked eighth of nine on our figures, he's hard to fancy despite having experience over today's trip and going.
AI verdict

SR 39 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in her last five starts, with a sequence of fourths and worse, Star Of Markinch heads into this off a 56-day absence ranked bottom on our figures; she has run over today's trip and going, but little else in the profile suggests she can reverse her fortunes here.
AI verdict

SR 27 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 50/1.

5/2 3/1 9/4
Bigalo shaped with promise when second last time out, and has run over today's trip and going — his profile makes him a strong each-way threat from stall 2, with our rating of 71 underlining his claims; the concern is that he's been winless in his last four starts.
AI verdict

SR 68 suggests ability but 5/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Boutblummintime arrives here 43 days fresh, has run over today's trip and going, and our rating puts him comfortably clear of his six rivals. Fourth last time out, he's winless in recent starts but the figures suggest he's overdue to make his mark from stall 5 off 134 lb.

7/2 9/4 7/2
Amantha shaped well last time out, finishing second, and followed up a win two starts back — she has experience over today's trip and going, and stall one could prove interesting. The concern is her trainer's current run of 0 from 26 over the past fortnight.
AI verdict

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

Winless in her last six starts, Bluestone Lady nevertheless showed ability with a second two runs back, and she has run over today's distance and going before; ranked sixth of seven on our figures, however, she faces a stiff task from stall seven carrying 132 lb.
AI verdict

SR 46 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

Winless in her last three starts, with a fifth two starts back and a lowly eighth three starts back making her hard to fancy, Aurora Valkyrie does at least return after 25 days with distance and going experience to call on, though she faces a stiff task from stall 6 on a mark of 61.

Liveadream shaped with promise when second two starts back and has run over today's trip and going, so conditions hold no fears; at 131 lb and yet to win in her last four starts, she'll need to find more than that placed effort suggests.
AI verdict

SR 55 suggests ability but 11/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in her last five, Tiger In The Tree does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, and back-to-back thirds give her a platform; a rating of 62 suggests more ability than her official mark of 51 implies, though stepping up from that level remains the test.

SR 53 suggests ability but 17/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Jer Batt has been placed three times in his last five starts, most recently third, and has run over today's trip and going, giving him a solid profile as the top-rated runner here; 96 days off is a watch, but at 136 lb from stall four he retains clear claims.

Mighty Magnus arrives fresh on 27 days' rest with distance and going experience in his favour, and that win three starts back underlines his ability to deliver on the day; the concern is he has been held to third or worse in his two most recent outings.
AI verdict

SR 94 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in his last five starts, Francisco's Piece nevertheless carries an 85 rating into this and has run over today's trip and going — the back-to-back fifths either side of a seventh two starts back suggest consistency of a kind, though converting that into a finish is the obvious concern after 52 days off.

Montezuma shaped well when third last time out and has experience of today's trip and going, making him a genuine threat from stall two on 132 lb; the main concern is that he has found one or more rivals too strong in recent starts, and our rating suggests he may be marginally exposed in this company.

Braes Of Doune holds the highest rating in this field and has run over today's trip and going, while 18 days gives him a fresh but race-fit look from stall three; the concern is he's winless in his last five starts, with a pair of sixths most recently.

Consecutive seconds two and three starts back show King Sharja has the class to threaten here, and his experience over today's trip and going is a clear asset at 135 lb from stall six; yet to land it in recent starts, and that unplaced effort last time is the note of caution.

Winless in her last five starts with only a single runner-up finish to show, April Diamond is hard to fancy stepping back in after an unplaced effort 25 days ago; she has run over today's trip and going, and stall two is her lot at 135 lb.

Winless in her last six starts despite three runner-up finishes, Thunderstorm Katie has struggled to convert and ranks fifth of six on our figures; she has run over today's distance and going before, and 20 days since her last outing leaves her reasonably fresh, but she remains hard to fancy at these weights.
