Room Service

Age 5 · 10-2

42875-

Saffie Osborne 14%

Jamie Osborne 12%

105

10-2

28/1 20/1 25/1

Absent 266 days, he returns with blinkers fitted and stays the trip, but form had tailed off before the break and he pulled too hard in Listed company last time — difficult to recommend at this level on comeback.

AI verdict

At 28/1 and a Saturday Rating of just 71, Room Service's weak form (42875-) and high weight of 10-2 signal a poor winning chance.

Witch Hunter

Age 7 · 9-7

489000

Paul Mulrennan 14%

Richard Hannon 12%

9-7

12/1 14/1 11/1

A useful performer at his best but well below his peak in recent starts, beaten without excuse by 8¼l last time; from the widest draw in this 14-runner field, the task looks challenging for one whose recent figures have disappointed.

AI verdict

Rated just 75 with poor form of 489000 and dismissed by the market at 16/1, Witch Hunter offers little appeal.

Supido

Age 4 · 9-5

858-13

William Buick 25%

Ian Williams 11%

9-5

11/2 4/1 11/2

Third beaten 1¼l last time, off the same mark here, and he landed it by half a length at Chester two starts back from 4lb lower; first-time cheekpieces plus a notable jockey booking add appeal, though the mark demands more.

AI verdict

Decent Saturday Rating of 94 and recent form showing a win, but 9-5 weight and 9/2 odds suggest only mid-tier market confidence.

Nikovo

Age 7 · 9-4

160854

Darragh Keenan 10%

Michael Herrington 14%

9-4

11/1 10/1 11/1

Fourth beaten three-quarters of a length at Redcar last time off a 7lb lower mark, so he steps up in class here; generally in good form but the higher AW rating demands improvement.

AI verdict

Nikovo's poor form (160854), high weight of 9-4, and 11/1 odds reflect weak Saturday Rating of 80.

Yorkshire

Age 6 · 9-4

1469-0

Connor Beasley 13%

Edward Bethell 17%

9-4

7/1 13/2 7/1

Back below his last winning mark and switching to the all-weather suits, with a first-time tongue-tie added; last seen fading at Ascot after travelling with promise before the effort flattened out, so a bounce-back on this surface is plausible.

AI verdict

Yorkshire's 83 Saturday Rating, poor recent form (1469-0), and 15/2 odds outside the market suggest limited winning prospects.

Rajeko

Age 4 · 9-4

220-00

Daniel Muscutt 14%

Michael Bell 13%

9-4

33/1

Off 127 days and returning from a spell in Dubai where form tailed off badly, this formerly useful gelding has plenty to prove; he acts on the all-weather and stays the trip, but a lot is needed on the evidence of recent outings.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 33/1, poor recent form of 220-00, and a low Saturday Rating of 62 highlight Rajeko's limited winning prospects.

Bobby Bennu

Age 5 · 9-3

2550-4

Ray Dawson 14%

Roger Varian 20%

9-3

7/2 11/2 10/3

Fourth last time beaten 2l off a mark just 1lb above today's, he remains competitively placed; this gelding does his strongest work in the closing stages, and first-time headgear may sharpen his focus with the trainer in good nick.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 86 and uninspiring form figures of 2550-4 at 9-3 weight fail to justify market confidence at 11/2.

Korker

Age 7 · 9-1

0-0806

Jack Nicholls 12%

K. R. Burke 20%

9-1

25/1 20/1 22/1

Connections have a strong record in this race but a string of poor runs and his habit of causing problems in the stalls makes it hard to fancy, despite holding genuine ability on the figures.

AI verdict

Korker's poor 0-0806 form, 25/1 odds, and low 61 Saturday Rating combine to make this an extremely weak contender.

Tremolo

Age 4 · 9-0

59113-

Lewis Edmunds 12%

Harry Charlton 16%

9-0

17/2 13/2 17/2

Third beaten 1¼l here last time off a 1lb higher mark, he showed steady progress last summer and remains suited to this course and trip; the key question after 310 days off is whether he needs the run.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 93 and strong recent form (three wins) offset by 9-0 weight and 15/2 odds suggesting limited market confidence.

Metal Merchant

Age 6 · 8-12

/00-00

Cieren Fallon 18%

John Butler 13%

8-12

33/1 28/1 33/1

Consistent decline across four unplaced efforts, with no obvious reason for the latest defeat at Goodwood; he returns to a mark below his last success but the recent evidence gives little cause for confidence.

AI verdict

Rated just 60 with a form string of /00-00 and sent off at 28/1, Metal Merchant offers no compelling case for support.

Sergeant Wilko

Age 5 · 8-12

0-4682

Sam James 14%

Kevin Ryan 12%

8-12

11/1 8/1 10/1

Beaten a head at Thirsk last time showing good attitude, he returns with first-time cheekpieces and enjoys setting the pace; the main concern is a trainer firing at just 3% over the past fortnight.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-12 off poor form (0-4682) and a Saturday Rating of 80, Sergeant Wilko's 17/2 odds reflect limited winning prospects.

Brighton Boy

Age 4 · 8-11

-70126

David Allan 13%

Tim Easterby 11%

8-11

18/1 14/1 18/1

Front-running style set the race up for closers when sixth last time, beaten 4l off today's mark; he landed it at Thirsk three starts back off 5lb lower and can go well again on his best day, but that exuberant style limits him.

AI verdict

Rated just 73 with weak 16/1 odds and recent form showing mostly failures makes Brighton Boy a low-confidence outsider.

Sir Albert

Age 3 · 8-9

39-508

P. J. McDonald 14%

Andrew Balding 18%

8-9

12/1 11/1 12/1

Positioned to his disadvantage at Chester last time in a race dominated by the leader, he showed his true level despite the modest finishing position; built a solid record through juvenile handicaps last year and looks well treated if able to recapture that level here.

AI verdict

Poor recent form (39-508) and 11/1 odds signal weak market confidence despite a Saturday Rating of 83.

Caviar Cowboy

Age 3 · 8-2

3-2212

Luke Morris 12%

James Fanshawe 18%

8-2

11/2 11/2 5/1

Runner-up beaten half a length last time after possibly taking the lead a touch too early, he landed it by 2½l at Lingfield the run before from a much lower mark; back 3lb higher now but looks capable of another forward showing.

AI verdict

Consistent form of 3-2212 and a solid 91 Saturday Rating are undermined by a testing 8-2 weight at 11/2.

P. J. McDonald 14%

Andrew Balding 18%

115

117

9-10

11/2

Returning from a 133-day absence, he is a Group 2 winner who carries a penalty here and faces a searching test against these rivals first time back; suited by 7f and acts on any surface.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 117 and competitive 11/2 odds offset inconsistent form figures of 3310-9, justifying four stars.

Age 4 · 9-5

31-0

M. P. Sheehy 8%

Brian Ellison 10%

9-5

66/1 80/1 66/1

A course winner at this trip on the AW who showed promise earlier in the season, he was well held on his turf debut at York last time and faces stiff opposition stepping up in class.

AI verdict

An 80/1 outsider carrying 9-5 with a Saturday Rating of just 60 and uninspiring form of 31-0 justifies only 2 stars.

0-1144

Saffie Osborne 14%

Clive Cox 17%

110

121

9-5

3/1 7/2 11/4

Top-rated on our figures and wearing first-time cheekpieces, he landed this race twelve months ago and was close to his best when a two-length fourth in a Group 2 last time; effective at 5-6f and versatile tactically.

AI verdict

Rated 121 with solid 4/1 odds, Diligent Harry's mixed form figures and top weight of 9-5 limit confidence to three stars.

Ferrous

Age 6 · 9-5

6-4265

Connor Beasley 13%

Jack Channon 14%

104

9-5

12/1

A course-and-distance handler, he ran to form here last time when beaten seven lengths in a handicap and has been winless in his last five outings; steps up in class but is suited by this trip.

AI verdict

Rated 99 with inconsistent form (6-4265) and sent off 12/1 by the market, Ferrous lacks the profile to inspire confidence.

Daniel Muscutt 14%

James Fanshawe 18%

102

9-5

18/1 22/1 18/1

Well beaten last time at Ascot on turf, he now returns to the AW surface where he has shown more consistent form; effective at 6-7f, he needs to bounce back if he is to figure at this level.

AI verdict

Heathcliff's 28/1 odds, poor recent form (312470), and low Saturday Rating of 79 suggest minimal winning chance at Group 3 level.

115

9-5

9/1 8/1 9/1

First-time tongue-tie applied for this Group 2 winner, who was likely inconvenienced by soft ground in a Group 3 abroad last time; effective at 7f on AW and fast surfaces, he is difficult to assess accurately but has each-way claims.

AI verdict

Rated 111 with inconsistent form (371P-5) and unfancied at 17/2, Noble Champion carries top weight 9-5 without favourite support.

Returning from a year's absence, he ran creditably to be a one-and-a-half-length third in a Group 3 last spring despite being unable to land a blow from an unfavourable position; may still have scope for improvement, suited by 7f.

AI verdict

Paborus carries top weight of 9-5 with a modest Saturday Rating of 105 and inconsistent form of 71/13-, limiting confidence at 9/1.

10/1 12/1 9/1

Third in a Group 3 at Epsom last time on soft ground, he is winless in his last five starts but form is moving in the right direction; best at 7f and suited by conditions with some give underfoot.

AI verdict

Rated just 105 with inconsistent form (22-253) and sent off 12/1, Poet Master lacks the market confidence to justify support.

9-5

13/2

A Group 2 winner last season, he returned below his best when beaten five lengths in a Group 3 in Dubai last time; back in Britain after 119 days away, he is a genuine threat if coming back fit and is effective at 6f on a sound surface.

AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 104 and 7/1 odds show mid-tier appeal, but inconsistent form (188-58) and top weight 9-5 limit confidence.

9/2

Usually held up, he was well beaten on a turf return at Newbury last time but switches back to the AW where he is at his best; first-time tongue-tie applied and his trainer has a strong record in this contest.

AI verdict

Wiltshire's mid-range 106 Saturday Rating, 5/1 odds, and inconsistent form of -06510 suggest a capable but unreliable contender.

Well beaten in a Listed race at Salisbury last time on return, he seems to produce his best on genuinely soft ground and today's conditions look insufficiently testing; first-time tongue-tie applied and winless in recent starts.

AI verdict

Zoum Zoum's 87 Saturday Rating, poor recent form of 4022-9, and 22/1 odds signal minimal market confidence.

-75027

Mason Paetel(3) 11%

James Owen 18%

9-12

18/1 20/1 16/1

First-time cheekpieces applied, he has shown his worth when placing over hurdles in recent starts and is effectively handicapped on his combined hurdle and Flat form at 14-16f; each-way claims but winless in his last five outings.

AI verdict

Charging Thunder's poor form of -75027, a low Saturday Rating of 63, and 22/1 odds signal minimal winning chance.

Age 5 · 9-12

Lewis Edmunds 12%

Jennie Candlish 17%

Placed in a novice hurdle recently, he is in fair form over obstacles this season but his Flat record has been inconsistent of late; stays well at 13-18f and could find this trip in his favour, though winless in his last five starts.

AI verdict

Chemistry's 20/1 odds, poor 04-849 form, and low 70 Saturday Rating confirm a horse with little winning chance.

Sam Coen 11%

A. J. Martin 7%

9-11

9/1 10/1 9/1

First-time tongue-tie applied, he landed this race in 2024 off a 6lb lower mark and remains capable of a big effort from his current rating; found Chester's tight track unhelpful last time and looks better suited by this venue after a short break.

AI verdict

Poor recent form (587-00) combined with a 73 Saturday Rating and 11/1 odds signal a horse carrying 9-11 with little market confidence.

Shrimp Shady

Age 4 · 9-11

Rob Hornby 12%

4/1

Progressive over longer distances, he won a handicap at Chester last time by three-quarters of a length off a 5lb lower mark after responding to a step up in trip; carries a penalty here but has yet to reach his ceiling over staying distances and acts on fast ground and AW.

AI verdict

Recent form shows a win and place, but 9-11 weight and 4/1 odds suggest market respects without fully endorsing the 93-rated contender.

Well beaten after being left behind in a handicap at Thirsk last time, he is largely consistent on the AW over 14-16f but has been exposed to the handicapper and finds winning opportunities limited; acts on multiple surfaces.

AI verdict

Artisan Dancer's poor form of -16040, low Saturday Rating of 60, and 28/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects.

Top-rated on our figures and wearing first-time blinkers, he is back on his last winning mark and ran to form when a five-length third last time; best at 14-16f on a sound surface and has claims despite being yet to win in his last six starts.

AI verdict

Sax Appeal's weak 58 Saturday Rating, poor 383653 form, and 25/1 odds signal no winning chance here.

Laafy

Age 10 · 9-10

7/08-0

Connor Beasley 13%

Brian Ellison 10%

9-10

80/1 50/1 66/1

First-time visor applied, he has been well beaten in his last four outings and, while formerly a useful performer, has encountered various issues along the way; the trainer is out of form and he is one to oppose at present.

AI verdict

Laafy's 66/1 odds, poor form of 7/08-0, and low Saturday Rating of 56 offer no winning case.

Premiere Ligne

Age 7 · 9-6

220/96

Jack Nicholls 12%

Hughie Morrison 12%

9-6

50/1 33/1 40/1

Ground concerns last time at Goodwood suggest he wasn't fully tested on soft going, but he must prove he has retained his ability and faces a competitive task; stays this trip on better going and has first-time tongue-tie.

AI verdict

Premiere Ligne's 40/1 odds, poor 220/96 form, and low 54 Saturday Rating make this 9-6 weighted runner an outsider with little winning chance.

Believitanducan

William Buick 25%

Alan King 16%

9-6

11/4 3/1 5/2

Three wins from his last four starts including a handicap at Chester by over three lengths last time, he has been improving across both disciplines and absorbs a further mark rise without obvious concern; notable jockey booking adds appeal, effective on AW at this trip.

AI verdict

Strong recent form of 1/2-11 and a competitive Saturday Rating of 91 support claims, but 9-6 weight at 10/3 limits upside.

Brosna Town

Age 5 · 9-5

14036-

Ray Dawson 14%

Jessica Bedi 4%

9-5

100/1 40/1 80/1

Returning from a long layoff on his debut for a new stable, he is only 1lb above his last winning Flat mark but was well beaten over hurdles at Limerick and looks likely to appreciate a longer test eventually; first-time tongue-tie applied, faces a stiff task here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 54, 50/1 odds, and poor recent form of 14036- make Brosna Town a very unlikely contender.

Hermetic

Age 4 · 9-5

114-46

Luke Morris 12%

Ian Williams 11%

9-5

11/1 14/1 10/1

A dual winner in France, he was comfortably held at Goodwood last time after going too hard early when stepped up in trip; needs to bounce back for a trainer out of form but remains relatively unexposed for this yard at 12-16f with cut underfoot.

AI verdict

Hermetic's outsider odds of 14/1, modest Saturday Rating of 68, and inconsistent form of 114-46 justify just 2/5 stars.

Paul Mulrennan 14%

18/1 FCST 14/1

Won this race last year off a 5lb lower mark and acts well at this venue, he has been below his best throughout the current campaign and was well beaten at Chester last time when burning too much energy from a wide draw; top jockey booking.

AI verdict

Weak Saturday Rating of 70, poor recent form showing a 0 and 7, and 14/1 odds suggest market holds little confidence.

10/1 15/2 10/1

Four wins from his last six starts including a comfortable success last time off a 5lb lower mark, he bids for a fifth in a row returning to turf; first-time cheekpieces applied and carries a penalty but is effective at 14-18f.

AI verdict

Recent form of 251111 is strong, but a Saturday Rating of 83 and 9/1 odds suggest limited market confidence.

11/1 12/1 10/1

Thriving for his new yard this spring with multiple wins, he was taken on for the lead last time and ran to form when a one-and-a-half-length second; back on the same mark here and effective at 12-16f on a sound surface.

AI verdict

St Faz carries 9-2 weight with a modest Saturday Rating of 79, weak 12/1 odds, and inconsistent form of 117152.

33/1 18/1 33/1

First-time cheekpieces applied for this consistent performer who ran to form when a three-length fourth last time off the same mark; acts well at 12-16f on the AW, though the weights look against him even if the trainer is in form.

AI verdict

Low Saturday Rating of 68, poor recent form showing a 8th and 4th, and weak 22/1 odds indicate limited winning prospects.

Adam Caffrey 9%

16/1

Generally consistent over 10-16f on multiple surfaces, he was beaten nine lengths at Fairyhouse last time and needs to bounce back; first-time tongue-tie applied and effective on AW, though he showed little on that most recent occasion.

AI verdict

Boxing Great's 18/1 odds, poor 551-86 form, and low 65 Saturday Rating make this 9-0 weighted runner an unconvincing outsider.

18/1 16/1 18/1

Won a handicap last time off a 5lb lower mark after getting an uncontested lead, he is turned out quickly here and carries a penalty; still progressing with his ceiling over marathon trips not yet established, so the mark may yet underestimate him.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 16/1, a modest Saturday Rating of 74, and inconsistent form of 481231 limit Treasure Islands' chances significantly.

Andrew Mullen 10%

8-10

18/1 FCST 16/1

Third here last time when the trip looked inadequate, he returns over a stiffer distance at his last winning mark and has a clear affinity with this course; back from a break and effective with cut underfoot, making him a genuine each-way player.

AI verdict

Weak Saturday Rating of 65, outsider odds of 16/1, and inconsistent form of -35273 suggest limited winning prospects here.

Rhys Elliott 7%

Liam Bailey 9%

8-9

50/1 28/1 40/1

Landed a handicap at Southwell last time by over a length off a 2lb lower mark, he has previously won off a higher rating and returns from a short break on a competitive mark; acts on any surface over 12-16f and is in good form.

AI verdict

Clansman's 33/1 odds and low Saturday Rating of 51 undermine his solid 321331 form despite a competitive 8-9 weight.

16/1 11/1 14/1

Beaten out of the field in a handicap hurdle last time on return, he has been successful over obstacles for this yard but the handicap mark demands more than he has shown on the Flat; returning from a break, this looks very tough.

AI verdict

Poor form (3/06-0), a low Saturday Rating of 62, and 14/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects.

9-12

25/1 14/1 22/1

Back on UK soil after a Group 2 campaign, he shaped creditably in defeat last time despite the bare result; effective at this trip on a sound surface and landed a handicap at Ripon off a 5lb lower mark penultimate start — a useful stayer who carries respect at 138lb.

AI verdict

Prydwen's 85 Saturday Rating and 20/1 odds suggest limited market confidence, despite form showing a recent win.

Tashkhan

Paul Mulrennan 14%

Brian Ellison 10%

9-7

66/1 25/1 66/1

Formerly Group 1 placed on the Flat, this veteran returns from a break after a below-par novice hurdle outing last time; well suited by 2m-2m4f and a cut in the ground, with a top jockey aboard — though he is no longer performing at his earlier level in this code and his trainer is out of form.

AI verdict

Tashkhan's dismal 66070- form, low 72 Saturday Rating, and 40/1 odds signal no winning chance under 9-7.

Circus Of Rome

Age 4 · 9-7

146-50

Finley Marsh 14%

9-7

9/2 3/1 9/2

A drop in trip at Sandown last time left him outpaced and well held; this step back up in distance should suit better as he is effective at 12-14f on a sound surface, but he has failed to reach his best this season and the trainer's recent stats are cold.

AI verdict

Rated just 96 with poor recent form (146-50) and carrying 9-7 at 4/1, Circus Of Rome lacks the profile to threaten in this competitive Heritage Handicap.

16/1 14/1 16/1

First-time cheekpieces for a gelding who struck at Kempton off a 5lb lower mark three starts back and remains effective at this trip on any surface; the most recent run — beaten 10 lengths — was below his best, but he arrives 1lb lower and has won off a higher mark before.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-6 at 16/1 with inconsistent form (04-126) and a modest Saturday Rating of 89 limits confidence significantly.

16/1 12/1 14/1

Last year's winner of this race, he returns after a solid Listed effort abroad — beaten just 3 lengths — and is clearly suited to this trip on any going; top-rated on our figures at 111, though he takes on this contest 6lb higher than when he landed it a year ago.

AI verdict

Carrying 9-4 at 16/1 with a Saturday Rating of 87 and patchy form of 14-304 makes Spirit Mixer an unconvincing outsider.

12/1 14/1 11/1

Progressive type who struck at Goodwood off a 4lb lower mark penultimate start, with a notable jockey booking signalling interest from connections; he met trouble last time and his effort was honest enough at the same mark — still with potential for more over staying trips.

AI verdict

Bahadur's poor recent form (1-6510), high 9-3 weight, and 16/1 odds suggest the market holds little confidence here.

A disappointing ninth at Epsom last time where the going may not have suited, he looks better placed back on an artificial surface; effective at 12-16f, he was on the upgrade through last year and needs to bounce back, but the trip and surface combination here could bring out the best in him.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 86 and poor form (8240-9) at 14/1 carrying 9-2 offers little confidence.

13/2 7/1 6/1

First-time cheekpieces on a course winner who has shown a bright recent record but ranks 17th of 20 on our figures off 92; left with too much to do at a sharp track last time where the tactics did not suit, and the step up to this stronger field is the key question despite the progressive profile.

AI verdict

Solid recent form (13-115) and a 102 Saturday Rating justify claims, but 9-1 weight and 7/1 odds suggest the market sees risks.

Showed improved form with a solid second at Newbury last time and returns from a break with her trainer in good shape — the stable has a strong record in this contest; suited by this trip on any going, though her mark is stiff after a recent run of success.

AI verdict

Rated just 80 on Saturday with 25/1 odds, a 9-1 weight burden, and patchy recent form of 111-62 signal limited winning prospects.

50/1 FCST 40/1

First-time cheekpieces for a stayer who ran to form in fourth last time and handles any going over this trip; won at Beverley off a 2lb lower mark three starts back, but has been inconsistent since a lengthy absence and consistency is the requirement at this mark.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 50/1, modest Saturday Rating of 68, and inconsistent form of /4-154 undermine confidence significantly.

20/1 14/1 20/1

Struck at Newmarket off a 3lb lower mark penultimate start and arrives in fair form, having run to his level last time at the same mark; effective at up to 12f on a sound surface, though stamina over this 16f trip is unproven and is the main reservation here.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-1 at 18/1 odds with inconsistent form -53414 and a modest Saturday Rating of 83 limits confidence.

Connor Beasley 13%

Brian Ellison 10%

10/1 FCST 9/1

Moderate form continued at Redcar last time — beaten over 8 lengths after meeting trouble — and the mark remains high enough to be a problem for a new yard with a cold trainer; first-time tongue-tie applied, though the trip is a stretch on his best form and he is our lowest-rated in this field.

AI verdict

Rated just 86 on Saturday with poor recent form of 7-9047 and 10/1 odds, Saint Etienne offers little confidence under 9-1 weight.

Landed a handicap at Lingfield by three-quarters of a length last time, aided by a positive ride at a shorter trip; effective at 14-16f on any going, but his mark has risen again and more is required — rated 18th of 20 on our figures, the revised conditions demand further improvement.

AI verdict

Synergism's strong 1253-1 form and 98 Saturday Rating at 9/1 offer solid each-way appeal despite a testing 9-1 weight.

25/1 14/1 22/1

First-time cheekpieces on an inconsistent veteran who dropped out of the picture at The Curragh last time when stepped up in class; better suited to the all-weather than turf and handles the trip, but yet to score in his last six and reliability is the big concern.

AI verdict

Tribal Star's 22/1 odds, modest 71 Saturday Rating, and inconsistent 334439 form justify only 2/5 stars.

11/2 7/1 5/1

Admirably consistent and with stamina trips not yet fully explored, he posted a sound effort in third last time off a 2lb lower mark and holds fourth on our ratings at 108; the main question is whether he sees out this 16f trip fully, but there is clear upside if his stamina is confirmed.

AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 98 and consistent form (1442-3) justify mid-tier appeal, but 8-13 weight and 15/2 odds limit confidence.

Hector Crouch 18%

Fourth at Goodwood last time, where taking a keen hold at a shorter distance left him unable to settle fully; our second-highest rated at 110 and returning to a trip he handles, effective at 10-16f on this surface — though he needs to find improvement on his last winning mark to score here.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-13 off 16/1 odds with patchy form (61-504) and a modest Saturday Rating of 83 limits Moon Over Miami's winning prospects.

Once a capable handicapper, he was in fair form prior to a lengthy absence but came back badly beaten at Kempton last time — understandable as a fitness run; effective at 12-18f on any going, he needs to prove he retains ability but the prior form provides mild grounds for optimism.

AI verdict

Aqwaam's 40/1 odds, modest 69 Saturday Rating, and patchy form reading 1763/9 offer little confidence in this competitive handicap.

16/1 FCST 14/1

At a sharp track last time, he was unable to land a blow and beaten over 8 lengths; returns from a break with first-time tongue-tie and a mark that looks fair against his hurdles form — stays well over this trip on any surface, but winless in his last five and consistency is the concern.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 16/1, poor recent form of 7049-8, and a Saturday Rating of 88 signal limited winning prospects.

Warren Fentiman 9%

125/1 80/1 100/1

An ex-Irish gelding now with a new yard, he failed to fire on his Flat return last time — outpaced and well held throughout — with first-time cheekpieces and a drop in the weights now applied; rated 19th of 20 on our figures and has something to prove, though he acts at this trip on any going.

AI verdict

Massive 80/1 odds, poor recent form showing a ninth and a zero, and a modest 74 Saturday Rating combine to make Gentleman Joe a weak outsider.

Cieren Fallon 18%

8/1 10/1 15/2

Third on our ratings at 108, he arrives with first-time cheekpieces after appearing to need a more searching test last time — outpaced over a shorter trip at Kempton; his French form reads well at this mark and the step up to 16f looks exactly what is required, though stamina at this distance in Britain remains unproven.

AI verdict

Kirchner's 10/1 odds, modest 91 Saturday Rating, and inconsistent 434-75 form justify just 2/5 stars in this competitive Heritage Handicap.

Set to make much of the running in Listed company last time and beaten comfortably, he needs to settle to show his best; his form on a sounder surface is considerably better and there is ability here to exploit.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-12 at 33/1 odds with inconsistent form of 01-830 and a Saturday Rating of 77 limits Caburn's prospects.

Beaten well on his turf return, where the race set against him, he comes back to his favoured all-weather surface and has form here to suggest he can run well even off a career-high mark.

AI verdict

Pocklington's solid Saturday Rating of 92 and recent form showing wins is offset by a hefty 9-12 weight and 13/2 odds suggesting limited market confidence.

A former Group-level performer who has shown his best recent form only fleetingly — beaten without excuse at Thirsk last time — he needs to recapture his peak 2025 level to justify favouritism at this mark, and the trainer's current strike rate is a concern.

AI verdict

Annaf's winless form of -77600, burdensome 9-11 weight, and 14/1 odds suggest the market holds little confidence in this 83-rated runner.

Thriving on the all-weather over winter where the figures suggest he may still be well placed at this mark, and he landed this race last year; first-time cheekpieces add a focus angle, though he has run too freely and below his best in recent starts.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-10 with patchy form (932206) and unfancied at 11/1, Fivethousandtoone's Saturday Rating of 92 offers little winning confidence.

Sixth at Carlisle last time despite having too much to do, this gelding won well at Kempton the run before from a much lower mark; first-time tongue-tie and a strong jockey booking add interest, and the all-weather return should suit.

AI verdict

Carries top weight of 9-10 with patchy form (159-16) at 5/1, limiting confidence despite a solid Saturday Rating of 98.

Landed a handicap here by 2l off a mark 7lb below today's last time out, showing genuine progression; tends to make it, has a fine recent record and simply needs to confirm that course form after a short break.

AI verdict

Strong recent form (1214-1) and a competitive 101 Saturday Rating at 3/1 make Power Fizz an attractive each-way option despite carrying 9-9.

Beaten 2l off this exact mark at Kempton last time out, he has thrived since returning to the all-weather; first-time blinkers are a new element, but the career-high mark and a short break mean plenty is required.

AI verdict

Off 75 days and beaten 9l at this course last time, he faces an awkward mark; first-time blinkers and one of the track's leading riders may help, but he needs a sharp turnaround in form.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 72, poor form of 46-100, and a 33/1 outsider price signal minimal winning prospects for The Caltonian.

Up in class last time at Epsom, he underperformed and is said to have needed that run; dual headgear change suggests connections are working to unlock consistency, and if he bounces back he will be competitive, but the reliability question remains.

AI verdict

Long odds of 20/1, a Saturday Rating of 80, and patchy form of P201-0 make Topwarrior an unconvincing outsider.

Returning after 113 days and a disappointing Dubai campaign, he wears a first-time visor and the trainer is in good form; UK form is better than he showed out there but the mark is demanding on comeback and plenty must improve.

AI verdict

Rapper's Delight's decent Saturday Rating of 89 is undermined by inconsistent form (21-529), 9-1 weight, and weak 11/1 market support.

Winner at this course from a mark 9lb below today's just two starts back, he ran below that form on turf last time and switches back to his preferred surface; the trainer is in great form and first-time headgear could sharpen his focus.

AI verdict

Form reads six wins but a recent ninth suggests vulnerability, and 8-13 weight limits appeal at 15/2 with a 104 Saturday Rating.

Fourth beaten 3l last time off 88, 1lb above today's mark, he won by a neck at Leicester earlier in the year from a similar level; form is inconsistent but the trainer has an excellent record here and there's enough ability for a bold showing.

AI verdict

Strike Red's Saturday Rating of 84 and recent form showing a win gives mid-tier appeal, but 14/1 odds and 8-13 weight limit confidence.

Promising debut where he showed early greenness before getting the job done by 1¼l in novice company; the bare form of that novice contest is unimpressive but a stiff track such as this should play to his strengths, and first-time headgear may focus him further.

Second at Hamilton last time off a 1lb lower mark — doing plenty of work in front yet still going down by only 1½ lengths — a performance that marks him as a genuine threat here; form has been in and out, but the latest effort gives good reason for confidence, and he handles this distance and surface well.

First-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces on a gelding returning from a break after a modest Flat effort here last time; struggling to reproduce his best under either code and yet to score in his last five, though a top jockey is retained and the headgear switch may spark improvement at this trip on any going.

AI verdict

Natzor's Saturday Rating of 41, 25/1 odds, and poor form figures of 000-49 indicate a horse with minimal winning prospects.

First-time cheekpieces for a colt who challenged for the front too soon and faded to sixth last time at the same mark; he won at Southwell off a 6lb lower mark three starts back and acts on the all-weather, though the mark demands more again and that pattern of peaking too early is worth noting.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 62, inconsistent form (720136), and 11/1 odds signal limited winning prospects against stronger market rivals.

A filly who had every chance at Wolverhampton last time but went under by 6 lengths in a below-form display; suited to the all-weather at 10-11f, with her trainer in good form — a bounce back is the requirement, and the conditions here are right for a better showing.

AI verdict

Form showing a fifth and two sevenths recently, combined with a modest Saturday Rating of 61 and 9-8 weight burden, limits confidence.

Won a handicap at Chepstow last time, handling a softer surface well to prevail by 1½ lengths off a lower mark — first-time cheekpieces now applied; effective up to 2m on any going, the key is whether he can build on that improved run and hold his own off a higher mark.

Jujubella's poor form (6-0953), low Saturday Rating of 63, and 9-6 weight burden justify the 2/5 star assessment.

Running badly out of form under both codes, he went too hard in front at Doncaster last time and paid the price; first-time cheekpieces on a return from a break offer some reason for a second look, but he is yet to score in his last five and has plenty of work to do.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 41, combined with a winless 777-87 form string and 33/1 odds, signals minimal winning prospects.

Went close at the line last time — beaten just half a length — having had too much to do from an unpromising position off a steady pace; he won at Southwell off a lower mark the start before, and first-time cheekpieces could help; a chance if he builds on his last couple of runs.

AI verdict

Solid recent form (664412) and a 68 Saturday Rating offer fair each-way value at 6/1 carrying 9-3.

Third at Musselburgh last time — beaten 15 lengths but running to form — and now equipped with first-time blinkers; suited to 14f+ on soft or good ground and in fair form, though he arrives 1lb above his last winning mark; a solid danger to respect at 73 on our ratings.

AI verdict

Carrying 9-2 at 12/1 with a Saturday Rating of 60 and patchy form of 17-553 makes Elemental Eye a weak market proposition.

Struggling on the Flat in recent starts yet showed some ability over hurdles through the winter; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces as connections try to find the key — effective at 1m on a sound surface as a younger horse and at 2m jumping, but rated last of 14 on our figures and the task here is a stiff one.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 40, poor form figures of 948/78, and 25/1 odds signal a horse the market has firmly dismissed.

Missed the break at Wolverhampton last time and had too much ground to make up, going under by 3 lengths off a slightly higher mark; consistent at 14-16f on any going and usually content to settle in behind, so a clean start here is crucial — returns from a break and the trip is right.

AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 51 combined with 14/1 odds and inconsistent 443434 form suggest limited winning prospects at 8-9.
