Acting Lady

Age 2 · 9-2

—

Billy Loughnane 18%

Charlie Appleby 33%

—

133

9-2

6/5 8/11 6/5

A Dark Angel filly out of a mare who was very smart over 5f, and a half-sister to a useful 6f performer — Acting Lady debuts for a trainer who regularly introduces their better two-year-old fillies at this track and makes most appeal of these three. Lightly raced on debut, but the breeding and stable angle are compelling.

AI verdict

Rated just 133 with unknown form, Acting Lady's even-odds market position and 9-2 weight fail to inspire confidence for Saturday.

Sexy Chick

Age 2 · 9-2

—

George Wood 11%

Richard Spencer 15%

—

152

9-2

7/2 4/1 10/3

A half-sister to a fair 5f performer, bought for 160,000gns as a Havana Grey filly — Sexy Chick debuts with a trainer in good form who clearly has her in good shape, though she faces two strongly fancied types here. She is very much considered but has ground to make up on paper.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 152 at 4/1 odds suggests excellent market confidence despite not being favourite.

War Banner

Age 2 · 9-2

—

Hector Crouch 18%

Ralph Beckett 19%

—

155

9-2

13/8 18/13 3/2

A 230,000gns Dark Angel filly out of a dam who was sharp and smart over 5f as a juvenile — War Banner debuts for leading connections and makes strong appeal on breeding and pedigree. She looks capable of running a solid race first time out.

AI verdict

War Banner's strong Saturday Rating of 155 at 6/4 odds and 9-2 weight suggests solid winning potential without favourite status.

Love Me Bae

Age 3 · 9-2

9-0

Pat Cosgrave 11%

Adam Kirby 12%

—

126

9-2

80/1 80/1 66/1

Made no impression at Windsor last time, beaten out of sight, and has yet to show clear signs of ability across two starts — Love Me Bae faces two rivals with stronger claims here and has all to prove. Hard to make a case for her at this stage.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 100/1 and winless form (9-0) limit confidence despite a competitive 126 Saturday Rating.

Starlight Lass

Age 3 · 9-2

Robert Havlin 15%

John & Thady Gosden 24%

—

158

9-2

1/3 2/9 3/10

Showed encouraging ability when placed on debut at Yarmouth, beaten two lengths in a maiden, and has already run over today's distance — Starlight Lass is bred to appreciate the step up to 1m and her connections have a strong record in this race. She is the clear pick on what she has shown so far.

AI verdict

Strong 158 Saturday Rating and solid form justify confidence, but 2/7 odds make the market dangerously short for safe recommendation.

Yimmna

Age 3 · 9-2

Tom Marquand 16%

William Haggas 23%

—

154

9-2

5/2 5/2 9/4

Beaten five-and-a-half lengths on debut at Yarmouth but from a trainer in form, and should do better stepping up to 1m — Yimmna is the second choice here with room to improve from her opening run. She has something to find with the selection but looks capable of running a solid race.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 154 and competitive 5/2 odds offset slightly by a single form figure of 7.

Angel Shared

Age 5 · 10-1

8-7530

Dougie Costello 10%

Steph Hollinshead 10%

10-1

7/2 4/1 10/3

Took this race last year and has the going in her favour, though she made too much use of herself when down the field at Haydock last time — Angel Shared is best at 5f in recent form and carries top weight from stall 8. Her stronger efforts have come over the shorter trip.

AI verdict

Rated 80 with winnable 4/1 odds, Angel Shared's poor recent form figures of 8-7530 limit confidence to three stars.

Shallow

Age 5 · 9-10

569233

George Wood 11%

Richard Spencer 15%

9-10

3/1 10/3 3/1

Beaten half a length at York off a 1lb lower mark last time and her trainer is in good form — Shallow has been consistent of late, acts on a sound surface over this trip, and now tries first-time cheekpieces. Yet to score in her last six starts, but this mark remains workable and she is the pick on our ratings.

AI verdict

Consistent form (569233) and a competitive 84 Saturday Rating are offset by top weight 9-10 at 7/2 in a strong market.

Brisk Symphony

Age 3 · 9-9

148-22

Rob Hornby 12%

Jonathan Portman 13%

9-9

9/2 7/1 7/2

Placed at Lingfield last time, beaten one-and-a-quarter lengths off a 1lb lower mark, and has a win to her name in recent starts — Brisk Symphony is effective over this distance and handles today's going. She sits in mid-division on our figures and would need an improved effort to take this.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 85 and consistent form (148-22) are undermined by 9-9 weight and 15/2 market dismissal.

Powdering

Age 6 · 9-8

203360

Hector Crouch 18%

Michael Herrington 14%

9-8

7/1 8/1 6/1

Beaten well at Haydock last time and not in her best form of late — Powdering acts over today's distance on a sound surface but sits at the foot of our ratings and needs to find more. Yet to score in her last six starts.

AI verdict

Moderate Saturday Rating of 76 and inconsistent form (203360) at 9-8 weight limit justify mid-tier 3-star appeal at 17/2.

Eskimo Pie

Age 3 · 9-7

78-364

Billy Loughnane 18%

Jane Chapple-Hyam 13%

9-7

12/1 8/1 12/1

Showed improved form at Lingfield latest, finishing fourth with her best work late, beaten just over five lengths — Eskimo Pie is effective from 5f to 8f and acts on a sound surface. Yet to score in her last five starts, and whether dropping to 6f fully suits is a question, though the distance is not entirely untested.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-7 with inconsistent form 78-364 and a weak Saturday Rating of 77 at 11/1 makes Eskimo Pie an unattractive market proposition.

Lara Antipova

Age 3 · 9-5

2-21

Charles Bishop 10%

Tom Clover 17%

9-5

7/1 4/1 7/1

Took a 6f maiden at Lingfield last time pulling clear late and easing to the line — Lara Antipova brings real potential now entering handicaps and acts on a sound surface over today's distance. Off a short break, she looks open to further progress and is a lively threat.

AI verdict

Solid form (2-21) and a competitive 88 Saturday Rating are offset by top weight of 9-5 at 11/2 in a market where she's not favoured.

There's A Chance

Age 3 · 9-5

187-31

Neil Callan 14%

Kevin Ryan 12%

9-5

SP FCST 11/2

Took a handicap at Haydock last time by a length off a 5lb lower mark to register her second win in recent starts — There's A Chance is effective over 6f and handles soft and good ground. Faster conditions are a new test, but a 5lb rise may underestimate her if the form holds up.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 86 and recent form showing a win and place suggest ability, but 9-5 weight and 13/2 odds indicate market caution.

Polka Blue

Age 3 · 9-3

4-4311

Tom Marquand 16%

Charles Hills 15%

9-3

11/2 4/1 11/2

Landed back-to-back handicaps at Lingfield, most recently by half a length off a 4lb lower mark — Polka Blue is consistent and acts on a sound surface over today's trip. A significant jockey booking adds interest, though this mark is a step up from her recent wins.

AI verdict

Consistent form (4-4311) and a solid 92 Saturday Rating are offset by 9-3 weight and non-favourite market position at 9/2.

Hour By Hour

Age 6 · 10-2

788-00

Pat Cosgrave 11%

Adam Kirby 12%

10-2

33/1 20/1 33/1

Racing keenly and never landing a blow at Kempton last time, beaten well down the field — Hour By Hour has lost his form of late and sits at the foot of our figures in a competitive nine-runner heat. Effective over 6f but today's stiff mile looks against him.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 39, 33/1 odds, and a form string of 788-00 signal no winning chances under 10-2.

Double Time

Age 8 · 10-1

6146-7

Callum Hutchinson 12%

Tim Vaughan 10%

10-1

22/1 14/1 20/1

Failed to see it out at Southwell last time, beaten eight lengths, well below his best after a long break — Double Time has winning form in the book and acts on soft and all-weather, and first-time hood and tongue-tie may help him put his best foot forward. A bounce-back is needed.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-1 at 22/1 odds with a poor Saturday Rating of 51 and inconsistent form of 6146-7 justifies the 1/5 rating.

Just Typical

Age 5 · 9-11

035-58

Ryan Kavanagh(3) 11%

Ian Williams 11%

9-11

13/2 FCST 11/2

Failed to land a blow at Kempton last time, beaten nine lengths, and not in his best form — Just Typical acts at 7f to 8f on a sound surface and is on what looks a workable mark if he bounces back. Yet to score in his last five starts, and his trainer is out of form with a 4% strike-rate in the past fortnight.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-11 with a Saturday Rating of just 60 and inconsistent form 035-58 at 6/1 limits confidence.

Phantom Watch

Age 3 · 9-11

523-41

Billy Loughnane 18%

Hugo Palmer 13%

9-11

11/8 5/6 18/13

Took this course and distance last week off a 6lb lower mark with plenty to spare, finishing strongly — Phantom Watch is now up in the weights but conditions are again in his favour and he acts well on this track. Tries a first-time visor; the penalty is the main question under a top jockey.

AI verdict

Rated 80 with inconsistent form (523-41) and a hefty 9-11 weight limit the case for odds-on market support.

Big Alex Walmsley

Age 4 · 9-9

5490-7

Benoit de la Sayette 13%

Mrs Ilka Gansera-Leveque 6%

9-9

SP 25/1 28/1

Well beaten at Lingfield last time, the latest in a run of below-par efforts — Big Alex Walmsley acts at 7f on a sound surface but his mark has been easing and he has not found the answer in his last five starts. Needs more to be competitive here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 37, 28/1 odds, and form reading 5490-7 combine to make Big Alex Walmsley a highly unconvincing proposition.

Daretobedifferent

Age 3 · 9-4

-93313

Rob Hornby 12%

Des Donovan 8%

9-4

7/2 FCST 10/3

Placed at 9f last time, beaten three-and-a-quarter lengths off a 1lb higher mark than today, and has a win two starts back — Daretobedifferent is consistent and effective over 1m to 9f on soft and good to firm. A drop to 8f and a lower mark are both in her favour and she is a real danger.

AI verdict

Solid recent form (3313) and fair 7/2 odds are offset by a moderate Saturday Rating of 78 and high weight of 9-4.

Poke The Bear

Age 4 · 9-3

256074

Travis Ford 0%

Hayley Burton 9%

9-3

12/1 10/1 11/1

Finishing with his best work late off a steady pace at Wolverhampton last time — Poke The Bear acts on all-weather and tries first-time tongue-tie, but his turf form is unproven and he is usually held up. Something to prove on grass, though he carries a competitive weight.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 53, weak 256074 form, and 10/1 market dismissal combine to make this 9-3 weighted runner unconvincing.

Khuskhas

Age 3 · 8-13

670-50

Robert Havlin 15%

James Ferguson 14%

8-13

18/1 FCST 16/1

Beaten nine-and-a-half lengths at Newmarket last time and out of form across recent starts — Khuskhas tries first-time blinkers and is effective over 6f to 7f, but sits in the bottom half of our figures. A big step up is required to get involved here.

AI verdict

Poor form (670-50), a low Saturday Rating of 52, and 16/1 odds signal minimal market confidence.

Norcross Brow

Age 3 · 8-13

8-2468

George Wood 11%

Charlie Clover 21%

8-13

5/1 6/1 7/2

Beaten ten lengths at Ripon last time after a slow start, though he has placed form in the book on a better surface — Norcross Brow acts on good to soft and all-weather and his trainer is in form. Off a short break, yet to score in his last five, and needs a much improved effort.

AI verdict

Carrying 8-13 with a Saturday Rating of 66 and inconsistent form of 8-2468 at 6/1 limits appeal.

Maith Mar Or

Age 3 · 9-11

354-

Alexandra Egan 14%

John Berry 10%

9-11

7/1 7/1 13/2

A good-natured filly with placed form at this sort of trip, though she has not run since November and was beaten nine-and-a-half lengths in a maiden at Newcastle on her most recent outing — Maith Mar Or is effective at 8f to 10f and acts on good to soft, but sits at the foot of our figures after a long break. Needs to show more.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-11 with a modest Saturday Rating of 64, outdated form of 354- and 8/1 odds signal limited winning prospects.

Jodhpur Blue

Age 5 · 9-9

423226

Billy Loughnane 18%

Ian Williams 11%

9-9

5/1 6/1 7/2

Out of form over a longer trip at Lingfield last time but had several placed efforts over a shorter distance prior — Jodhpur Blue is effective at 7f to 12f and acts on good and all-weather, and the drop back in trip looks a clear plus. Tries first-time tongue-tie off a short break and should be more competitive here.

AI verdict

Consistent form of 423226 and a Saturday Rating of 73 justify mid-tier appeal, but 9-9 weight and 6/1 odds limit upside.

Rockafeller Skank

Age 3 · 9-6

0-1111

George Wood 11%

Richard Spencer 15%

9-6

8/13 7/16 8/13

Four wins from his last five starts, most recently taking a classified event at Lingfield by two-and-a-quarter lengths, and his trainer is in excellent form — Rockafeller Skank is effective on a variety of surfaces and is clearly in a rich vein. He carries a double penalty now racing off a handicap mark, but the evidence points to him as the one to beat.

AI verdict

Strong recent form of 1111 is offset by a burdensome 9-6 weight and a Saturday Rating of 91 limiting upside.

Booziebrunch

Age 3 · 9-4

0-2443

Tom Marquand 16%

S. P. C. Woods 12%

11/2 9/2 11/2

Placed at Lingfield over 10f last time and consistent in recent starts — Booziebrunch is effective at 7f to 10f and acts on a sound surface, with first-time blinkers and a significant jockey booking adding to his claims. Yet to score in his last five, but he is on a mark that keeps him competitive.

AI verdict

Booziebrunch's mid-tier Saturday Rating of 78, inconsistent form of 0-2443, and 9/2 odds justify a modest three-star rating.

9-10

7/4 3/2 7/4

Back to form in a new headgear combination at Windsor last time, beaten one-and-a-half lengths off this mark, and he is suited by the distance and going — Amorim is a genuine threat stepping back up to 7f. Yet to score in his last five starts, but the stable has taken this race before.

AI verdict

Amorim's moderate form of 348-03 and burdensome 9-10 weight offset his competitive 92 Saturday Rating and 7/4 market position.

Marengo Storm

Age 3 · 9-6

512

Finley Marsh 14%

Richard Hughes 15%

9-6

15/8 31/19 7/4

Placed at Windsor last time off a 3lb lower mark and has also landed a win over 6f in his last three — Marengo Storm arrives with momentum and looks capable of improvement stepping up to today's extra furlong. His form is solid at the shorter trip and the longer distance appears to be in his favour.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-6 with a Saturday Rating of 95 and inconsistent 512 form limits confidence despite fair 7/4 odds.

Hardy's Hero

Tom Marquand 16%

Two wins in his last five, stays 7f, and acts on a sound surface — Hardy's Hero shaped well in third at Lingfield on his most recent outing and looks the one to beat here with his trainer in good form. Conditions are ideal and he looks likely to go well again.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 97 and consistent form (115-23) justify 4/5 stars despite 9-4 weight and 2/1 market price.

Alicia Perkins 0%

Mark Usher 10%

9-9

6/1 4/1 6/1

Placed at 2m at Kempton last time, where she should have finished closer, and she acts on the going — Vilaine Verlaine is the filly to respect off an unchanged mark. Yet to score in her last five starts, though a bold bid would not surprise if building on that effort.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 66, inconsistent form (50-602), and 9-9 weight combine to make 5/1 a poor-value market proposition.

Now The Eagle

Age 4 · 9-9

-81227

Ryan Kavanagh(3) 11%

Luke Dace 11%

9-9

10/3

A distant seventh last time, beaten 42 lengths off a 1lb lower mark, and now faces a slight rise in the weights — Now The Eagle needs a dramatic turnaround to factor here. He acts on soft and all-weather but has yet to race on fast ground, which is a concern on today's surface.

AI verdict

Rated 66 with inconsistent form (-81227) and carrying 9-9 at 10/3 suggests mid-tier viability without favourite market support.

Prince Quattro

Age 7 · 9-7

Mason Paetel(3) 11%

9-7

2/1 2/1 7/4

Acts over today's distance and going, stepping back up in trip after a short break, and was never in it from off the pace when beaten three-quarters of a length at Southwell last time — Prince Quattro has placed form to suggest he can go well here. Yet to score in his last six starts, though the extra distance looks a plus.

AI verdict

Moderate Saturday Rating of 70, inconsistent form (775424), and a 9-7 weight burden limit confidence despite fair 5/2 odds.

Age 4 · 9-5

Billy Loughnane 18%

S. P. C. Woods 12%

5/1 3/1 9/2

Placed at Yarmouth just eight days ago, beaten three lengths off this mark, and he acts on today's course, distance and going — Betelgeuse is consistent enough and tries first-time cheekpieces. Yet to score in his last five starts, but the mark still looks fair.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-5 with a modest Saturday Rating of 71 and inconsistent form of 5-2253 limits Betelgeuse's prospects at 4/1.

7/2 11/4 7/2

Took this race in 2022, 2023 and 2025, and bids for a fourth success in a race run in his honour — Dereham is suited by today's distance on a sound surface and usually delivered from off the pace. A pleasing reappearance at Yarmouth over a shorter trip last time, and the step back up in distance is very much in his favour.

AI verdict

Dereham's solid 65 Saturday Rating and consistent form (123P-4) are undermined by 8-10 weight and non-favourite market position at 10/3.

Ross Burdon 12%

10-1

5/2 FCST 2/1

Took a handicap at Windsor off a 5lb lower mark last time, finishing with real purpose, and is in fine form across his last six starts — Seventy acts on today's going and trip, and his trainer is in form. Up 5lb under a penalty, but the manner of his recent run suggests he can go close again.

AI verdict

Consistent form (133121) and competitive 9/4 odds are offset by a top weight of 10-1 limiting the 81 Saturday Rating appeal.

5/1 4/1 5/1

Placed at Fakenham on his most recent start at this sort of trip, and acts on good and all-weather — Market House tries first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces and is effective over longer distances. Yet to score in his last six starts, though he has the profile to be involved if the headgear helps.

AI verdict

Rated 72 with inconsistent form (532364) and carrying top weight 9-12 at 5/1, Market House shows mid-tier potential.

Took a handicap at Wolverhampton last time off a 4lb lower mark, showing a good attitude, and now tries a first-time visor — Green Team acts over today's distance and handles the going. He has more to prove back on turf, but his mark looks fair and he is respected.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 72 and inconsistent form (462441) limit confidence despite fair 6/1 odds and manageable 9-10 weight.

Nuptown Girl

Age 4 · 9-3

Ryan Kavanagh(3) 11%

Ian Williams 11%

9-3

17/2 10/1 8/1

Beaten three lengths at Bath last time off a 2lb higher mark, consistent enough in the book — Nuptown Girl acts on a sound surface and has placed form at this sort of trip, but her trainer is out of form with only a 4% strike-rate in the past fortnight. Yet to score in her last six starts and the yard's run is a concern.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 58, inconsistent form (625354), and 11/1 odds signal limited winning prospects at 9-3.

Belle Amie

Alexandra Egan 14%

David Simcock 14%

6/4 5/4 3/2

Took a handicap at Bath last time by four lengths off a 6lb lower mark with something in hand — Belle Amie has two wins in her last five, acts on good and all-weather, and has been generally consistent. Up in mark here, but she has earned the right to be taken seriously.

AI verdict

Solid recent form (23-141) and competitive odds of 11/8 are offset by a modest Saturday Rating of 72 and top weight of 9-1.
