Wise Crack

Age 3 · 9-9

38-056

Cian Horgan 5%

Ruth Carr 12%

9-9

17/2 10/1 17/2

Ran keen and was unable to land a blow at Musselburgh last time, beaten seven and a half lengths; returns to AW where the trainer has had success, effective at 6-7f on a sound surface, and held up as usual — but needs a sharper performance to feature, without a win in recent starts.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 57 and poor form of 38-056 make 11/1 odds reflect limited winning prospects at 9-9.

Fanjove

Age 3 · 9-9

12-469

Callum Rodriguez 20%

Ed Dunlop 12%

9-9

7/1 17/2 6/1

Wide and well beaten at Goodwood most recently, below normal form, Fanjove gets first-time blinkers on a return to AW; effective at 6-7f on this surface and there is more chance here than last time, but needs to demonstrate a significant improvement.

AI verdict

Fanjove's inconsistent form (12-469), low Saturday Rating of 64, and 9/1 odds suggest limited winning prospects despite carrying 9-9.

Saxon Prince

Age 3 · 9-8

56-526

Jason Hart 14%

John & Sean Quinn 12%

9-8

9/1 13/2 9/1

Without a win in recent starts, Saxon Prince was a little below form at Ripon last time at the longer trip; stays 7f and the likely pace will play to this runner's strengths, acts on AW, and reliable enough in form that a return from a short break here off the same sort of mark could see this runner go well.

AI verdict

Saxon Prince's Saturday Rating of 64, 9-8 weight burden, and inconsistent 56-526 form justify the 15/2 odds and 2-star rating.

Elemma

Age 3 · 9-8

457

Warren Fentiman 9%

Richard & Peter Fahey 10%

9-8

20/1 14/1 16/1

Stamina has been questioned over 7f at Chester last time, beaten six and a quarter lengths, Elemma is a speed-bred type with a trainer who has a strong record in this type of race; wide draw to overcome, but pedigree all points to 5-6f rather than 7f, making this a risk at the trip.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 51, weak 457 form, and 16/1 odds signal the market holds little confidence in Elemma carrying 9-8.

Smartanck

Age 3 · 9-8

4-9100

Cam Hardie 6%

Antony Brittain 9%

9-8

33/1 22/1 28/1

Two unexplained poor runs have followed a win, and in a visor Smartanck was well beaten at Doncaster most recently; effective at 7-8f on AW and needs to demonstrate there is nothing wrong, a first-time tongue-strap fitted but confidence is low.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 43, poor recent form (4-9100), and 25/1 odds signal minimal winning chance.

Bird Of War

Age 3 · 9-8

441-85

Harry Vigors 12%

Charles Hills 15%

9-8

4/1 13/2 10/3

Beaten seven lengths at Bath last time but in better form prior, Bird Of War has a win in recent starts and handles various surfaces; effective at 1m on good to soft, good and AW — there is a case here if she recaptures the level of those better efforts this season.

AI verdict

Solid 68 Saturday Rating and fair 6/1 odds, but 9-8 weight and patchy 441-85 form limit confidence.

Rousham

Age 3 · 9-7

07210

Faye McManoman 7%

Nigel Tinkler 11%

9-7

14/1 14/1 12/1

Well beaten — thirteenth at Doncaster last time off this same mark — and ran keen in first-time headgear, Rousham had won two starts back; effective at 6-7f on a sound surface and a bounce back is needed here, carrying a hood for the first time.

AI verdict

Rousham's 14/1 odds and modest Saturday Rating of 60 undermine confidence despite a recent win in mixed form.

Henriette Ronner

Age 3 · 9-6

714950

Tom Eaves 8%

Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood 8%

9-6

50/1 25/1 40/1

Went with no cover and was never competitive at Doncaster last time after a stumble, Henriette Ronner is effective at 6-7f on AW; first-time blinkers and the mark is coming down but more is still required here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 43, weak 714950 form, and 28/1 odds signal the market holds little confidence in this 9-6 weighted runner.

Secretinthesky

Age 3 · 9-6

48-5

Ryan Sexton 12%

Julie Camacho 11%

9-6

25/1 14/1 22/1

Beaten seven lengths in a maiden last time at a level similar to debut, Secretinthesky is typically dropped out and may improve once qualifying for handicaps; effective at 7f on good and AW and without a win in recent starts — hard to recommend at this stage.

AI verdict

Carrying 9-6 at 18/1 with a Saturday Rating of just 47 and poor form figures of 48-5 makes Secretinthesky a weak outsider.

Popty Ping

Age 3 · 9-5

614276

Mark Winn 11%

David O'Meara 13%

9-5

13/2 7/1 6/1

Wide draw to overcome, Popty Ping has been below form in recent starts but there is a case that the last run understated the true ability, off this same mark; effective at 6-8f on soft, good and AW with a first-time visor, and there is an outside chance here.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-5 with inconsistent form (614276) and a modest Saturday Rating of 63 makes Popty Ping poor value at 7/1.

Based

Age 3 · 9-3

78-271

Taylor Fisher 12%

William Knight 14%

9-3

4/1 2/1 4/1

Finished with power at Wolverhampton last time to win a handicap by two lengths off a mark 6lb lower — the best handicap run to date — and acts well at 7f on AW; the 6lb rise is stiff but there is likely further improvement to come and our rating puts Based at the head of the weights.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 69 and inconsistent form (78-271) at 9-3 weight limit the appeal despite competitive 9/4 odds.

Maynora

Age 3 · 9-2

525144

Alex Jary(3) 9%

Craig Lidster 12%

9-2

18/1 10/1 18/1

Consistent fourth last time at this same mark, Maynora stayed on to be beaten two lengths and acts on good and AW; effective at 6-7f and form has been solid — this runner is the main danger to our selection and has to be considered seriously.

AI verdict

Maynora's inconsistent form (525144), low Saturday Rating of 61, and 11/1 odds suggest limited winning prospects here.

Surgeon Commander

Age 3 · 9-1

-71364

David Allan 13%

Craig Lidster 12%

9-1

11/2 17/2 9/2

Pressed hard on the lead at Doncaster last time before fading to be beaten one and a quarter lengths off this same mark, Surgeon Commander is effective at 6-7f on AW with first-time blinkers today; cannot be dismissed and could go better if getting a cleaner lead.

AI verdict

Carrying 9-1 with a modest Saturday Rating of 67 and patchy form of -71364 at 13/2 makes Surgeon Commander a speculative each-way option.

Caeruleus

Age 2 · 9-7

Oisin Orr 14%

John Butler 13%

9-7

3/1 2/1 11/4

Two starts in, Caeruleus has run to a consistent level including third at Carlisle last time; effective at 6f on soft and AW and has the ability to go close, though still has the deficit to close on the selection and needs to improve to take the win.

AI verdict

Form figures of 43 and a Saturday Rating of 82 at 3/1 suggest mid-tier potential without market confidence.

Cuban Heels

Age 2 · 9-7

Robert Havlin 15%

John & Thady Gosden 24%

9-7

8/15 8/13 7/16

Fourth at York last time, improved from debut, Cuban Heels handles 6f on good and holds strong claims; yet to score but the progression from run to run has been clear, and this looks a good opportunity for the well-regarded runner.

AI verdict

Rated 91 with form figures of 34 and carrying 9-7, Cuban Heels holds value at 8/13 but lacks the dominant form to justify more than 3 stars.

Fasthope

Age 2 · 9-7

Ben Robinson 10%

Brian Ellison 10%

—

130

9-7

50/1 33/1 40/1

Third on debut and then below that level when running keen at 7f at Beverley last time, Fasthope is a danger on a return to 6f where the trip reduction may bring improvement; yet to score but the drop back in trip looks a key angle.

AI verdict

Fasthope's solid Saturday Rating of 130 is undermined by 33/1 odds and weak 35 form, limiting confidence despite a competitive 9-7 weight.

Johns Power

Age 2 · 9-7

Oisin McSweeney 10%

Roger Fell 12%

—

127

9-7

66/1 40/1 50/1

Only one start to his name, well beaten at Ripon, Johns Power is hard to fancy and may need more time to develop; not easily recommended on current evidence.

AI verdict

40/1 odds and a single-run form figure of 0 signal minimal market confidence despite carrying 9-7.

Odegaard

Age 2 · 9-7

Aiden Brookes 9%

Micky Hammond 10%

—

128

9-7

80/1 80/1 66/1

Well beaten on debut at Musselburgh, Odegaard is hard to side with on available form; needs to show considerably more to suggest this field can be troubled.

AI verdict

Rated 128 but sent off 80/1 with a single fifth-place run, Odegaard shows potential undermined by weak form and market dismissal.

Sir Sirius

Age 2 · 9-7

Tom Eaves 8%

Kevin Ryan 12%

—

150

9-7

15/2 13/2 7/1

Made notable progress from debut when beaten six and a quarter lengths at Thirsk last time, Sir Sirius carries a fast pedigree and is one who should show more once eligible for handicaps; yet to score but the trajectory points upward and this is a runner to respect.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 150 and solid 9-7 weight assignment justify 4 stars despite 13/2 odds and inconsistent 96 form.

Up The Stakes

Age 2 · 9-7

—

Jason Hart 14%

John & Sean Quinn 12%

—

145

9-7

16/1 10/1 16/1

A half-brother to Golden Force who was very useful at 7-8f, and out of a dam who was smart at 6f as a two-year-old, Up The Stakes is a well-purchased Nando Parrado gelding making his debut; others look stronger on known form but the pedigree is solid and market moves should be noted.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 145 at 10/1 odds suggests ability but the 9-7 weight and outsider market position limit confidence.

111-72

Tom Marquand 16%

William Haggas 23%

108

9-9

13/8 18/13 3/2

Touched off by a nose at Hamilton three weeks ago off a 2lb lower mark, Eternal Force has a strong case stepping up to 10f on his all-weather debut; handles good to firm and good to soft, and this extra distance could be the key at the top of the weights.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 108 and consistent form reading 111-72 justify 4/5 stars despite 9-9 weight at 6/4.

Will Scarlet

Age 5 · 9-8

042519

Callum Rodriguez 20%

Simon & Ed Crisford 19%

9-8

12/1 14/1 9/1

Trailed home at York on latest start and his trainer's string is badly out of form; carries first-time headgear and is effective at 10-12f on a sound surface, but the mark looks on the high side and a return to form is needed to be competitive.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-8 with inconsistent form (042519) and dismissed at 16/1 by the market, Will Scarlet's Saturday Rating of 80 offers little appeal.

Haku

Age 7 · 9-6

4513-7

Oisin Orr 14%

Mark Loughnane 10%

9-6

40/1 18/1 33/1

Off the track for 148 days and returning from a break, Haku was beaten over eight lengths at Kempton last time after a run of solid efforts; effective at 11-12f on AW and handles these conditions, but needs to show he's bounced back before being trusted.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 77, weak form (4513-7), and 22/1 odds signal Haku is a long-shot outsider carrying 9-6.

Whitcombe Rockstar

Age 7 · 9-5

-51120

Josephine Gordon 9%

Keiran Burke 13%

9-5

16/1

Pulled on the chestnut's two wins in recent starts but came from off the pace and was never in contention last time at Sandown; first-time visor fitted, best at 8-12f and handles AW, so it's not impossible he turns it around but a response is required.

AI verdict

Whitcombe Rockstar's 12/1 odds and inconsistent form of -51120 indicate limited market confidence despite a Saturday Rating of 94.

Rogue Millions

Age 4 · 9-5

1176-8

Daniel Muscutt 14%

Edward Bethell 17%

9-5

9/1 7/1 8/1

A dual winner in recent starts, Rogue Millions is not straightforward to rate — a big colt who handles AW and stays 11f — but has disappointed in his last three starts including a seven-length defeat at Carlisle; needs to recapture something close to his best form.

AI verdict

Odds of 17/2 suggest weak market confidence, and patchy form (1176-8) carrying top weight 9-5 limits appeal despite a 91 Saturday Rating.

Jolly Jack Tar

Age 5 · 9-3

13/10-

Robert Havlin 15%

John & Thady Gosden 24%

9-3

SP 6/1 4/1

Off the track for 331 days, Jolly Jack Tar was well beaten at Goodwood most recently and needs to prove his form has stood up after such a long absence; does stay 10f on AW and had shown enough prior to that to suggest he's capable at this level with a clear run.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 92 and decent 13/2 odds, but 9-3 weight and inconsistent form (13/10-) limit confidence.

The Glen Rovers

Age 7 · 9-2

9-8519

Sean Dylan Bowen 11%

Lucy Wadham 17%

9-2

9/1 10/1 9/1

Ninth on the same mark at this same course last time, The Glen Rovers was beaten five and a half lengths and failed to build on a previous win; effective at 10-12f on AW and returning to this surface is a plus, though a sharp improvement in form is required.

AI verdict

Carrying 9-2 with weak 9-8519 form and overlooked at 11/1 in the market, The Glen Rovers' 82 Saturday Rating offers little confidence.

Rainbow Nebula

Age 4 · 8-12

1-0156

Warren Fentiman 9%

Richard & Peter Fahey 10%

8-12

10/1

Sixth last time at the same mark, Rainbow Nebula has two wins in recent starts and handles the course; a top trainer with this type helps the case, but there is still more required before this runner can challenge at the sharp end here at 10f.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 11/1 and patchy form (1-0156) undermine confidence despite a respectable 85 Saturday Rating.

Cloth Of Gold

Age 4 · 8-10

3/01-0

Jason Hart 14%

Charlie Johnston 13%

8-10

11/1 16/1 10/1

Unplaced on handicap debut at York when failing to stay the trip, beaten eight and a half lengths, Cloth Of Gold's stamina over this 10f looks a question; there is a case to make back on AW, where connections believe this could go better, but a significant step forward is still needed.

AI verdict

Sent off 12/1 with inconsistent form of 3/01-0 and a modest Saturday Rating of 85 limits confidence.

Wanderlust

Age 4 · 8-9

531-44

Joe Leavy 11%

Iain Jardine 12%

8-9

25/1 18/1 20/1

Fourth at Newbury last time, Wanderlust stays the trip and acts on various surfaces; our figures suggest there is more in this runner — the last start showed creditable form against British handicap company — though needs to step forward to challenge for the win here.

AI verdict

Low Saturday Rating of 67, poor recent form figures of 531-44, and weak 22/1 market odds signal limited winning prospects.

Per Contra

Age 5 · 8-9

-97034

David Allan 13%

Tim Easterby 11%

8-9

7/2 9/2 7/2

Suited at 10-12f on any going, Per Contra was too keen at York last time, beaten four lengths off a mark 1lb higher than today's; now fitted with first-time headgear, and well capable of making an impact if that helps settle the issues, yet to score in recent starts.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 90 and fair 9/2 odds are undermined by inconsistent form (-97034) and a mid-range 8-9 weight.

Simon & Ed Crisford 19%

9-9

6/1 10/3 6/1

Down in class and fitted with a tongue-strap for the first time, Treble Tee was well held and looked flat at a Listed level at Doncaster; best at 8f and a change of headgear could help, though the trainer is going through a quiet patch and a response is needed.

AI verdict

Solid 103 Saturday Rating and fair 9/2 odds are offset by inconsistent 2167-5 form and a hefty 9-9 weight assignment.

Al Mubhir

Age 7 · 9-1

500-05

Tom Eaves 8%

Kevin Ryan 12%

9-1

14/1 FCST 12/1

Without a win from his last five outings including a return from Australia, Al Mubhir was again well beaten at Hamilton last time — a performance that raises real questions about his current level; effective at 8-10f on any surface, he needs to show he retains his form to feature here.

AI verdict

Poor form of 500-05, a Saturday Rating of 85, and 11/1 odds suggest the market holds little confidence in Al Mubhir.

Ancient Rome

Age 7 · 9-1

3000-0

Tom Marquand 16%

Charles Hills 15%

9-1

7/1 8/1 13/2

Usually settled toward the rear, Ancient Rome was going nowhere from off the pace at Newbury last time, beaten six and a half lengths; lightly raced at this distance and effective at 8-10f, but form has dropped away since last summer and confidence is not high.

AI verdict

Poor form of 3000-0 and a demanding 9-1 weight undermine Ancient Rome's 89 Saturday Rating at 7/1.

Back In Black

Age 4 · 9-0

324-43

Daniel Muscutt 14%

James Fanshawe 18%

9-0

15/8 9/4 7/4

Consistent and very reliable, Back In Black ran to form at Lingfield last time off this same mark and now gets a first-time tongue-tie; effective at 7-8f on good to soft and sound ground, yet to score in recent starts but the profile makes this a strong candidate.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 97 and competitive 9/4 odds, but inconsistent 324-43 form and 9-0 weight limit confidence to three stars.

Dosman

Jonny Peate 9%

Oli Rix 10%

8-11

9/2 6/1 4/1

Went well in transit before weakening at Ascot last time to finish fifth; effective at 7-9f on a sound surface and had shown solid form prior to that defeat, so is not without claims returning from a short break, but needs to prove the finishing speed holds up here.

AI verdict

Solid 91 Saturday Rating and consistent form (321245) are offset by 8-11 weight and non-favourite 11/2 market position.

Age 5 · 8-11

820-70

Jason Hart 14%

Kevin Philippart de Foy 16%

8-11

10/1 14/1 9/1

Winless in recent starts and beaten seven and a half lengths at Epsom last time in below-par form, Mr Swivell needs a bounce back in form to be competitive; suited at a mile on good, good to firm and AW, the ability is there but a clear improvement on recent outings is required.

AI verdict

Poor recent form (820-70) and 12/1 odds reflect a horse the market has largely dismissed at Saturday Rating 85.

Dingle

Age 8 · 8-10

-17300

Ryan Sexton 12%

Julie Camacho 11%

8-10

40/1 18/1 28/1

The last outing at York raised fitness concerns with the field, suggesting all is not right; effective over 8f and well suited to AW, but a return to form is needed and the trainer is currently without a winner, making this a difficult proposition for the yard.

AI verdict

Long odds of 25/1, a poor form string of -17300, and a low Saturday Rating of 64 combine to make Dingle an unlikely contender.

Christian David

Age 5 · 8-10

1-0934

Joe Leavy 11%

Richard Hannon 12%

8-10

33/1 16/1 28/1

Finished his races off well from off the pace, Christian David did his best work late when fourth at Lingfield most recently; first-time blinkers fitted, effective at 7-8f on any surface and back on his last winning mark, which gives reason to think an improved showing is possible.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 65, weak form figures of 1-0934, and a 25/1 outsider price signal minimal winning prospects.

El Matador

Age 4 · 8-9

75-223

Edward Greatrex 14%

Ralph Beckett 19%

8-9

9/1 10/3 17/2

Placed in three of his last four starts, El Matador has been in consistent form at 7-10f and on various surfaces; last outing saw him run to his rating but find the step up to 10f beyond him at Ripon, so the return to a shorter trip here is a distinct positive, and yet to score in recent starts.

AI verdict

Consistent form of 75-223 and a competitive Saturday Rating of 95 at 11/2 odds suggest solid claims without dominance.

Clouds Hill

Age 4 · 8-6

17-139

Sean Dylan Bowen 11%

Charlie Johnston 13%

8-6

18/1 11/1 14/1

Ninth last time, beaten eleven lengths, Clouds Hill ran below form off a mark 1lb higher than today's and needs to bounce back; trainer is in good form, effective at 8-10f on a sound surface, and two wins in last five starts suggest capability — but the most recent effort is a concern.

AI verdict

Clouds Hill's Saturday Rating of 82 and inconsistent form (17-139) at 14/1 suggest potential but not enough market confidence.

Regalian

Age 4 · 8-5

2763-6

Cam Hardie 6%

Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood 8%

8-5

40/1 20/1 40/1

Held up as usual and never getting to the front at Redcar last time, beaten three and a quarter lengths off this same mark, Regalian now wears first-time headgear; effective at 8-9f on a sound surface, and there is more to come from this runner when getting a target to aim at, yet to score recently.

AI verdict

Regalian's 20/1 odds, poor 2763-6 form, and low 71 Saturday Rating leave him with little chance at 8-5.

9-7

25/1 20/1 25/1

Only one start behind him — a sixth at York on debut — Athos has the scope to progress significantly over this 7f trip; showed modest pace on that occasion but connections expect a step forward now tackling a longer distance, making this a dangerous runner to dismiss.

AI verdict

Athos carries 9-7 with a single run showing a sixth-place finish, a 124 Saturday Rating, and 25/1 odds suggest market dismissal.

50/1 28/1 50/1

Debut runner on a tough assignment; an Alkumait gelding related to a useful performer at 9f, Bedwyr merits attention in the market on debut but the pedigree angles are mixed and he is hard to assess.

AI verdict

High odds of 33/1 and a low Saturday Rating of 124 signal weak market confidence and limited winning prospects.

Third at Ripon last time, Inns And Out has run to a consistent level across two starts; effective at 6f and handles good ground but faces a wide draw here over 7f, and while there is the possibility of further progress, needs to do more to challenge the principals.

AI verdict

Inns And Out's mid-tier Saturday Rating of 151, 9/2 odds, and modest form figures of 53 suggest fair but unspectacular winning prospects.

Runner-up at Leicester last time, stepping up markedly from debut, Lord Ragnar handles 7f on good and looks capable of further improvement; the form has been upwardly mobile and while there is more to prove to get the win, this runner commands respect as a leading danger.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 149 and solid 9-7 weight anchor a promising form figure of 02 at 11/2 odds.

11/1 9/1 10/1

Held up in the field, Ponte Carlo is effective at 5-6f on soft and good ground and the wider draw may suit those running-style tendencies; beaten six lengths at York last time on form that reads consistently, and one who could improve considerably once eligible for handicaps.

AI verdict

Weak form figures of 386, a 63 Saturday Rating, and 10/1 market position confirm Ponte Carlo as an outsider with little winning evidence.

50/1 FCST 40/1

Well beaten on debut at Carlisle, Right Up My Ali needs to improve substantially to play a role here; the scope for development is there but a significant improvement in performance is required.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 124 is undermined by 40/1 odds, poor form figure of 9, and no market support.

10/11 FCST 5/6

Third on debut at Salisbury, Aphra Behn shaped with promise and now steps up to 7f where further improvement is expected; effective at 6f on soft and looks the one to beat if she takes this further forward.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 157 combined with near-favourite 10/11 odds and solid form figure of 3 justify four stars.

12/1 10/1 11/1

Fourth at Wetherby last time — improved on debut — Aura Of Melania was keen but made progress and handles 7f; still needs more but there is promise here, and if continuing to improve this filly is the main danger to our selection.

AI verdict

Moderate Saturday Rating of 144 and poor form figures of 64 at 11/1 suggest limited winning prospects.

16/1 11/1 16/1

Showed something on debut at Chester when beaten just over three lengths in a seller, Bonjour Belle handles 7f on soft; has a trainer who has had some success in this type of event and the potential for improvement means she could make the frame if she takes a step forward.

AI verdict

Bonjour Belle's single run showing a fifth-place finish and 11/1 outsider odds limit confidence despite a solid 144 Saturday Rating.

London Rose

9-2

40/1 28/1 33/1

An Ardad filly related to a smart 6f performer, London Rose makes her debut here and connections would prefer others ahead of her on first appearance; with a dam that struggled at 8f as a juvenile, the raw pedigree cues are mixed and she faces a tough introduction.

AI verdict

At 28/1 with unknown form, London Rose's mid-tier 127 Saturday Rating limits confidence despite carrying 9-2.

Jonny Peate 9%

Ivan Furtado 10%

135

9-7

12/1 14/1 12/1

A Pinatubo gelding by a dam smart at 8f, Brazilian Blitz is a half-brother to a useful 12f performer; a tough enough opening on debut for the yard, which is not in peak form at present, and it is hard to form a strong view, though the pedigree mix is intriguing.

AI verdict

Long odds of 16/1 and unknown form make Brazilian Blitz an unconvincing 135-rated outsider carrying 9-7.

Dakota Brave

Jason Hart 14%

9-7

9/2 5/1 4/1

Held to a similar level on second start as first when beaten comfortably at Hamilton last time, Dakota Brave is bred for a bit further than today and has all to prove; yet to score and needs to step forward significantly, though there could be more to come.

AI verdict

Moderate Saturday Rating of 150, weak form figures of 65, and 6/1 odds suggest Dakota Brave holds fair but unspectacular claims.

Mottaret

Age 2 · 9-7

David Allan 13%

Tim Easterby 11%

9-7

9/4 2/1 9/4

Ran keen and was below debut level at Leicester last time at 7f, Mottaret is middle-distance bred and the drop to 6f should help; yet to score, and while a relaxation of tactics over the shorter trip could unlock improvement, needs more time to develop.

AI verdict

Mottaret's mid-range Saturday Rating of 71, consistent form figures of 44, and second-favourite market position at 5/2 suggest a competitive but unspectacular contender.

Beaten eight lengths at Carlisle last time to a moderate standard, Peggy's Lad needs improvement and others are preferred on available evidence; yet to score and the scope for progress is uncertain.

AI verdict

Long odds of 16/1, poor form figures of 08, and a Saturday Rating of 135 make Peggy's Lad a weak outsider.

14/1 10/1 14/1

A Gleneagles colt with a tough enough task on debut — connections themselves concede this is not the easiest introduction; bred for a bit further eventually, the pedigree is modest at this trip and a market check is needed before committing.

AI verdict

Therewearethen's solid Saturday Rating of 140 at 12/1 odds suggests fair value, but non-favourite status limits confidence.

Black Fury

Harry Russell 8%

11/1 5/1 11/1

An Arizona filly related to a smart 5f performer and out of a dam useful at 6f, Black Fury makes her debut here; a tough enough first assignment and others are preferred, yet to score and debut form is unknown.

AI verdict

Mid-range Saturday Rating of 149 and 6/1 odds suggest decent but unproven ability with unknown form limiting confidence.

Bluestone Lady

86264

Kaiya Fraser 12%

Phillip Makin 12%

9-2

3/1 5/2 11/4

Fourth at Carlisle last time in first-time blinkers, Bluestone Lady failed to get into contention from off the pace despite finishing on; best at 5-6f and a step up to 7f tests stamina — trainer is in form and the headgear stays on — the profile makes this the most interesting runner here and the one to beat.

AI verdict

Bluestone Lady's inconsistent form (86264) and mid-range Saturday Rating of 64 at 3/1 suggest fair prospects without standout claims.

50/1 33/1 40/1

Ran keen and finished well beaten on debut at Beverley, Bollin Marsha needs a major improvement to feature; yet to score and the debut effort gives little confidence.

AI verdict

Long-shot odds of 40/1, a poor form figure of 8, and a low Saturday Rating of 127 signal minimal winning prospects.

Floristic

—

Oisin Orr 14%

9-2

6/1 4/1 6/1

An unexposed Space Traveller filly related to a useful 8f performer, Floristic makes her debut from a yard that has landed this type of contest in each of the past two years; hard to see this runner winning on first appearance but connections have strong claims and she deserves market respect.

AI verdict

Floristic rates 3/5 with a solid Saturday Rating of 150 at 5/1, but unknown form and non-favourite market position limit confidence.

9-9

SP FCST 10/1

Without a win in recent starts, Ice Cold Alex draws a wide stall and has a trainer who is finding winners difficult to come by; effective at 5-6f possibly needing a sound surface, but needs a sharper response than recent form suggests.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 61, uninspiring 44-646 form, and 10/1 market odds combine to make Ice Cold Alex an unconvincing each-way proposition.

Koffee And Kale

10/1 12/1 17/2

Well beaten back up at 6f at Leicester last time, Koffee And Kale drops back to 5f here where the track should suit much better; first-time visor fitted, a notable jockey booked, and effective at 5-6f on give and good to firm — there is a live case here if the trip change unlocks improvement.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 62, weak 31-327 form, and 12/1 odds signal a horse the market has largely dismissed.

Fourth at York last time after failing to find top gear, Yellow Diamonds has won over 5f and acts well on this surface with cut; the chance is there if she improves on that run and this runner is a clear danger to our selection.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 59 and patchy form (21-044) at 11/1 make Yellow Diamonds an unconvincing 9-7 burden with little market support.

Stayed off the pace at Thirsk last time and was beaten seven lengths without ever threatening; effective at 5-6f on various surfaces, but needs to find extra to get competitive and a significant step forward is required.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-7 with a modest Saturday Rating of 64 and patchy form of 1-5927 limits confidence at 17/2.

Good second at York last time, beaten a neck off a mark 5lb lower than today's; a reliable sort, effective at 5-6f on good and fast going and wearing first-time headgear, I'm Dan Dare is a clear danger who could run a big race from a good draw.

AI verdict

Solid recent form (-02512) and competitive 5/2 odds justify the rating, but 9-7 weight and a Saturday Rating of 78 limit upside.

Caught interference early and came home strongest at Thirsk last time, going down by a neck off this same mark; effective at 6-7f on good to soft, good and AW and there is reason to think a clear run may yield a better result, yet to score in recent starts.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 67, uninspiring 84893 form, and 9-7 weight leave Record Day a 5/1 shot with limited winning claims.

Twice below form in recent starts here at Newcastle, beaten eight lengths last time; first-time blinkers on today and effective at 5-6f on good and AW, but the back-to-back poor efforts are a concern and a significant response is required.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-6 at 16/1 with a modest Saturday Rating of 57 and inconsistent form of 241-77 limits confidence.

Sixth at York last time in below-par form, beaten seven lengths, Under The Radar is without a win in recent starts; effective at 5f on good and the connections have had success in this type of race before, but improvement from the last run is needed to feature.

AI verdict

Weak form reading 28-566, a modest Saturday Rating of 60, and 10/1 odds signal limited market confidence.

Without a win in recent starts, Slot was held up and had to wait for room at Wetherby last time when fourth; effective at 5-6f on good to soft and AW, and there is the possibility of a better run with a clean passage, though needs to do more than in recent outings.

AI verdict

Slot's Saturday Rating of 60, 12/1 odds, and disappointing recent form figures of 23-544 offer little confidence at 9-4 weight.

Third last time, Love Alive is on a mark that looks workable and the trainer is in good nick; effective at 5-6f on good and AW with a wide draw to contend with, but on current form this looks a tough ask at the top weights.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 51, 18/1 odds, and form reading 715963 confirm Love Alive holds no realistic winning claims.

The Tunguska Event

Jason Hart 14%

Third last time off this same mark, The Tunguska Event has two wins in his last six starts and acts well at 5-6f on good to soft, good and AW; a first-time visor added and still looks competitive at this level, with our figures giving this the edge.

AI verdict

Solid recent form (741213) and a competitive 13/2 market price justify three stars, but 9-4 weight limits the ceiling.

Alex Jary(3) 9%

Sixth at Windsor last time, beaten five lengths, Bella Delizia has been below form but is effective at 5f on a sound surface and remains 4lb above the last winning mark; trainer is struggling for form and needs this runner to produce a significant step up in performance.

AI verdict

Rated just 42 with 33/1 odds and poor form of 641-06, Bella Delizia offers no credible market case.

AI verdict

Contorno's inconsistent form (141598), a Saturday Rating of just 57, and 11/1 odds signal limited winning prospects here.

Back-to-back wins has Woodleigh in excellent order, completing a hat-trick here if he can transfer that turf form to the AW; effective at 8-10f on any surface, carrying a penalty, he looks the one to beat and will need to be at his best but the momentum is firmly in his favour.

AI verdict

Decent recent form (055211) and a 4/1 market price are undermined by a low Saturday Rating of 64 and a hefty 10-3 weight.

Pulled hard and came home well beaten at Beverley last time, Oselton is without a win in recent starts and needs a calmer passage to show what this runner is capable of; effective at 7f on good to soft and AW, a response is needed to be competitive here.

AI verdict

Oselton's dismal form (48-920), lowly Saturday Rating of 46, and 12/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects despite carrying 9-12.

Finished powerfully to get within half a length of the winner here last time off a 1lb lower mark, Barleybrown has a strong course record at this track; effective at 8f on good and AW with a wide draw, yet to score recently, but has a genuine chance if producing the same type of effort.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-11 with a modest Saturday Rating of 59 and poor recent form of -37662 limits Barleybrown's prospects at 4/1.

Well beaten at Redcar last time, Kalikapour needs to bounce back from a poor showing; effective at 12-14f which is actually longer than today's trip, and connections are in form, but needs a significant improvement and the distance may be on the short side.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-10 with a Saturday Rating of just 32, form reading 3943-8, and weak 22/1 odds confirm Kalikapour as a no-hoper.

First-time headgear fitted, Little Ted was below form at Beverley last time in a visor; the yard has run well in this type of race in the past and the runner was in good form prior to that setback, yet to score in recent starts and needs to bounce back.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 49, inconsistent form (960527), and 10/1 odds signal limited market confidence at 9-7.

Came home well beaten when ridden up with the pace here last time — a tactic that clearly did not suit — Trais Fluors is effective at 7-8f on a sound surface and prefers to be held up; the mark looks fair but needs an easier passage and a better trip set-up to show true form.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-7 with a poor form string of 548850, a Saturday Rating of 41, and drifting odds of 14/1 all combine against Trais Fluors.

Closed to a neck at Beverley last time off this same mark, Sassy Glory has returned to form and now has first-time headgear added; effective at 8-12f on a sound surface and there is a case to make if she follows up on that return to form, yet to score but the form is moving in the right direction.

AI verdict

Sassy Glory's Saturday Rating of 53, poor form of -05492, and 9-4 weight burden justify the 2-star rating.

Third here over a mile last time, a step back in the right direction off a mark 1lb lower than today's, Abu Royal has claims if building on that; effective at 8-12f with cut and on AW with first-time headgear fitted, not without claims if continuing to progress, yet to score in recent starts.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 39, poor form of -65803, and 16/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects in this handicap.

Seventh last time, Cable Beach had been running well in the lead-up to that race with a win five starts back; effective at 7f and stays the mile, acts on AW and did best work from the rear last time, though hard to recommend from this mark.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 56 and inconsistent form (144-37) at 9-4 weight makes 7/2 odds hard to trust.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-3 with inconsistent form (253676) and a weak Saturday Rating of 38 at 16/1 makes this an unappealing market outsider.

Shimmering Spirit's dismal form (44608), weak 40/1 market price, and low Saturday Rating of 35 justify just 1/5 stars.

Below par at Wetherby last time, fading out of contention nine lengths behind the winner, Space Moon now tries cheekpieces; effective at 6-8f on good and AW and the mark has been easing, but more improvement is still needed to get competitive here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 49, poor form (656730), and 14/1 odds signal minimal market confidence.
