9-9
11/2 7/2 4/1
Winless in his last five starts and returning after 125 days off, It's A Love Thing faces a stiff task, though experience over today's trip and going offers some encouragement and he carries a manageable 135 lb from stall one.
AI verdict

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

Winless in his last five starts, Ravenscraig Castle nevertheless shapes as the one to beat on a rating of 62, has run over today's trip and going, and returns after 23 days carrying 135 lb from stall five.
AI verdict

SR 63 suggests ability but 9/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

5/1 11/2 4/1
Won two starts back but has finished sixth and seventh on either side of that success, making her a frustratingly inconsistent profile; she has run over today's distance and going before, and 17 days since her last start leaves her fit enough, though 133 lb is a significant burden.
AI verdict

SR 60 suggests ability but 11/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

15/2 13/2 11/2
Kameel arrives here fit on 24 days' rest, carrying 133 lb from stall 3, and our rating of 61 puts him second among the eight runners — a compelling case for a strong showing over a trip and going he has experience of; the concern is that he is yet to score in his last six starts, with a string of fourths and fifths dominating his recent profile.
AI verdict

SR 56 suggests ability but 17/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Koko Blue has been a model of consistency, finishing third last time out and placing in four of her last five starts, and she has run over today's trip and going before; the concern is that she remains yet to win in recent starts, suggesting she may find one too good again.
AI verdict

SR 65 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Millbuie arrives winless in his last six starts and ranks seventh of eight on our figures, making him hard to fancy at the weights with 129 lb to carry; a third last time out and experience over today's trip and going are the best angles available.
AI verdict

SR 49 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last four starts, Game Management nevertheless holds a rating of 57 against an official mark of 49, suggesting he is better than his recent figures imply; he has run over today's trip and going before, and 23 days between runs leaves him fresh, though recapturing consistent form is the obvious concern.
AI verdict

SR 45 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last five starts and off the track for 109 days, New Objective faces a fitness question, though a runner-up finish two starts back suggests ability; he has going experience to call on, but his official rating of 55 leaves him firmly in the midfield mix.
AI verdict

12/1 16/1 10/1
Winless in her last five starts, Gifts Differing nonetheless rates above her official mark and has experience of today's trip and conditions, making her a live threat from stall eight at 135 lb — the risk is that her recent finishes offer little encouragement.
AI verdict

SR 28 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 33/1.

Winless in his last five starts, Rugby Union nevertheless shapes as a leading danger here — he has experience of today's trip and conditions, carries a manageable 134 lb from stall four, and our rating of 59 marks him out above his official mark; the concern is that his recent finishes offer little encouragement.

Ranked top of the field on our rating, Parole Officer has run over today's trip and going and returns on a fresh 23-day break carrying 133 lb from stall 10, yet winless in his last five starts, that recent run of form remains the primary concern.

Winless in her last four starts, Gilleangirl has at least run over today's going before and arrives 27 days fresh, though a speed rating of 46 and an official mark of 53 suggest she faces a stiff task from stall six carrying 133 lb.

5/1 11/4 5/1
Baldosa showed she can win in recent starts, with a victory three starts back, though sixth last time out is a concern; she has run over today's trip and going, carries 130 lb from stall one, and our rating of 57 suggests a shade of unexploited potential.

Winless in her last six starts, Diamond Aura has been finishing in the bottom half of fields recently, and a ranking of ninth of twelve on our figures makes her hard to fancy; she has run over today's trip and going before, and a 25-day break at least suggests she arrives fresh.

Havana Prince has run over today's trip and going before, but his recent form is a concern — unplaced in two of his last four starts and eighth latest, with only a win four starts back and a third five starts back to offer encouragement; the 139 lb burden won't help either.

Bloodsweatandtyres showed he can win in recent starts, but three unplaced efforts since that success are a concern, and a trainer firing at just five per cent dampens confidence; he has run over today's trip and going, though 136 lb is a stiff ask from stall seven.

Winless in her last three starts and returning after 86 days off the track, Bladey Lady faces a stiff ask from stall seven carrying 128 lb, and her ranking of ninth of eleven on our figures makes her hard to fancy, though she does hold experience over today's trip.

Winless in his last six starts yet Mr Mistoffelees brings solid placed form to the table, with seconds two and three starts back to his name; he has run over today's trip and going before, and his rating of 81 marks him as the one to beat off 140 lb from stall 6.

Harry The Rogue has run over today's trip and going before and, rated 78 by us against an official mark of 73, represents a clear each-way player; the risk is that he has been winless in his last six starts, with three unplaced efforts on the bounce a concern.

Rising Force has managed just one win in his last six starts, with a sixth last time out doing little to inspire confidence, and he ranks tenth of eleven on our figures; the second two starts back at least suggests he can hit the frame on his day, and he has experience over today's trip and going.

Winless in his last five starts, with a fifth last time out and a second four starts back representing the best of his recent efforts, Bee Farmer has distance experience to call on and a break of 34 days could help, though his rating of 75 leaves him with plenty to find against stronger rivals.

Criminal Shore's win five starts back gives him a winning profile in recent starts, and he arrives fit on 18 days' rest with experience of today's distance and going; the risk is that his last four runs have yielded two sixths and two unplaced efforts, so he must rediscover that form.

Winless in his last six starts, Flying Fletcher does at least bring experience of today's trip and conditions, and a speed rating of 78 suggests more ability than his official mark of 68 implies — the risk is that his recent finishes have been largely disappointing, and he must find considerably better form.

Starliner has placed twice in his last three starts, including a runner-up finish last time out and another second three starts back, yet a sixth two starts back and deeper struggles in his record leave him winless in recent starts; he has distance and going experience to call on, and our rating of 72 gives him an edge over his official mark.

Let's Go Hugo arrives in red-hot form, winning back-to-back last time out and two starts back, and he handles today's trip and conditions having tackled both before; the main risk is whether 140 lb blunts his momentum.

Placed efforts two and three starts back give Papa Don't Preach solid recent claims, and he has run over today's trip and going before; fit enough at 16 days since his last start, the 135 lb burden is the main query, though our rating of 66 suggests he holds serious untapped potential.

Pivotal Terms carries 132 lb from stall eight yet our rating of 66 marks her out as the one to beat in this field, having run over today's trip and going before; the concern is she has been winless in her last six starts, with a best of second four starts back.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked last on our figures, Shatin Venture returns after a 180-day absence, which is the sharpest concern here; a second three starts back offers a crumb of comfort, but he faces a stiff task from stall 4 off a mark of 46.

Book Of Life has shown real consistency in recent starts, finishing third last time out and a second three starts back, and he handles today's distance and going, all of which underpin his strong standing in the ratings; the risk is that he remains winless in his last six starts.
