Etienne

Age 2 · 9-7

—

David Egan 14%

Richard Spencer 15%

—

155

9-7

9/2 5/1 9/2

A February foal by Rajasinghe whose brother was very useful over 6f, and the dam was effective at 7f; Etienne has never run and the record of the yard on debut is a factor — respect is due if the market signals support, though he goes entirely on breeding and reputation from stall 3.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 155 at 10/3 odds carrying 9-7 makes Etienne a compelling market alternative to the favourite.

Good Fighter

Age 2 · 9-7

Silvestre De Sousa 14%

Ismail Mohammed 12%

—

127

9-7

66/1 25/1 50/1

Outpaced throughout on debut at Windsor and beaten 6¼l, with the longer trip today expected to be more suitable; Good Fighter has a trainer in good form and handles today's conditions — too far behind on debut to inspire confidence but the step up in trip could bring out more from stall 6.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 28/1 and a single form figure of 7 limit confidence despite a competitive Saturday Rating of 127.

Jackson Canyon

Age 2 · 9-7

—

Rossa Ryan 18%

M D O'Callaghan 12%

—

146

9-7

17/2 9/2 15/2

A $105,000 son of Jack Christopher whose dam was a useful US dirt performer over 5f; Jackson Canyon is unraced but comes from a strong Irish yard and the market will be telling — well worth considering on debut from stall 2 if supported, and the pedigree suggests the trip will be within range.

AI verdict

Rated 146 with solid 9-7 weight, Jackson Canyon's 15/2 odds suggest market respect without favouritism, warranting a mid-tier three stars.

Lion Of God

Age 2 · 9-7

—

Hector Crouch 18%

Marco Botti 16%

—

127

9-7

22/1 11/1 20/1

A 75,000gns breeze-up purchase by Invincible Spirit, with a half-brother who showed smart form at 8f and a dam that stayed 10f; Lion Of God has never run and may find this a learning run on debut, though the pedigree is interesting from stall 5 and the yard will have him ready to show something.

AI verdict

Long-shot odds of 22/1 and a modest Saturday Rating of 127 highlight Lion Of God's limited winning prospects here.

Mysterious Times

Age 2 · 9-7

William Buick 25%

Charlie Appleby 33%

—

159

9-7

5/6 5/4 5/6

Third on debut at Sandown, showing a fair amount while a touch free early, and the yard has a fine recent record at this meeting with its juveniles; Mysterious Times handles this course and the going, and a top trainer-jockey combination who have a strong record here points to further progress from stall 1 now stepped up to 6f.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 159 combined with near-favourite 10/11 odds and solid 9-7 weight assignment justify confident 4-star selection.

Weekend Roar

Age 2 · 9-7

Oisin Murphy 22%

Hugo Palmer 13%

—

154

9-7

7/2 9/4 3/1

Third beaten 1¼l on debut at Salisbury and handles this course and going; Weekend Roar hinted at genuine ability on debut, is proven at this trip, and Oisin Murphy takes the ride — yet to win but the debut form is solid and improvement looks likely, with the main query being whether the step up in class catches him out from stall 4.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 154 at 7/2 odds with solid form figure of 3 and competitive 9-7 weight justify four stars.

Comment

Shamalza

Age 4 · 10-4

16-

Hector Crouch 18%

Ralph Beckett 19%

10-4

9/4 2/1 9/4

Connections were successful in this contest twelve months ago and the stable retains potential here; Shamalza handled the trip last time but never really threatened and was held with ease, and while she acts on good ground and there is ability to uncover, the figures place her behind the top two in this field from stall 3.

AI verdict

Shamalza's solid 87 Saturday Rating and fair 9/4 odds are tempered by a sparse two-run form reading 16-.

Afraj

Age 3 · 9-7

1-3

William Buick 25%

John & Thady Gosden 24%

9-7

7/2 FCST 10/3

Took a maiden at Chelmsford on debut and then shaped with promise upped sharply in trip at Goodwood, keeping on into third; Afraj handles 7f to 1m and acts on good-to-soft and AW, with the drop back in distance likely to help if she settles — a jockey with a fine record at this course and a trainer firing at 29% in the past fortnight make her the one to side with from stall 4.

AI verdict

Afraj's winning form and solid 82 Saturday Rating justify appeal at 4/1, but 9-7 weight and non-favourite status limit confidence.

Areti

Age 3 · 9-2

362-25

Rossa Ryan 18%

Oliver Cole 11%

9-2

9/4 11/2 7/4

Placed consistently on good-to-soft and AW before a below-par run back on soft turf at Salisbury last time; Areti is without a win in recent starts but drier conditions today are more in her favour, and first-time tongue-tie and headgear could unlock improvement — that said, more is needed from stall 6 to trouble the principals.

AI verdict

Areti's mid-tier Saturday Rating of 86, inconsistent form (362-25), and 9/2 odds suggest a competitive but unreliable contender unworthy of market favouritism.

Esdaile

Age 3 · 9-2

Clifford Lee 17%

James Tate 19%

—

127

9-2

40/1

An improvement on her first run when upped to 1m at Yarmouth, beaten 5½l but keeping on into sixth; Esdaile handles today's trip and is clearly developing, though winless in two starts and ranked lowest in the field, she needs a further step forward from stall 2 to be a factor.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 127 is undermined by 40/1 odds, poor form figures of 06, and no market support.

Siddal

Age 3 · 9-2

5-02

Ryan Moore 24%

Gary & Josh Moore 11%

9-2

SP 7/2 10/3

Surprised at huge odds when finishing a narrow second at Salisbury, finishing with real purpose in the closing stages and clear of the remainder; Siddal is yet to win but showed there is real ability there when conditions suit — soft ground is her forte and today's sounder surface poses a genuine question from stall 5, making improvement less certain.

AI verdict

Form figure of 5-02 and a Saturday Rating of 81 at 7/2 suggest mid-tier prospects without favourite market support.

Vanilla Skies

Age 3 · 9-2

—

Cieren Fallon 18%

William Haggas 23%

—

153

9-2

10/3

A daughter of Pinatubo whose dam was useful at 7f, and her half-sister to Brewing brings smart 7f form into the pedigree; Vanilla Skies is blinkered on debut for a well-regarded yard and warrants serious consideration if the market takes an interest — unraced, so entirely on trust from stall 7.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 153 combined with competitive 7/2 odds and 9-2 weight suggest solid each-way claims despite not being market leader.

Change Sings

Age 6 · 10-3

0-3655

George Downing 10%

Eve Johnson Houghton 13%

10-3

11/4 7/2 9/4

Beaten off this mark at Windsor in recent outings and a return to form is needed; Change Sings does enjoy making the running, which at least gives her something to aim for, and she handles 5f to 7f on a range of going — from stall 8 she can press on, but winless in recent starts means she requires a big step up.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-3 with a modest Saturday Rating of 74 and uninspiring form of 0-3655 limits confidence despite fair 7/2 odds.

Fiscal Policy

Age 7 · 9-11

322513

Clifford Lee 17%

Ruth Carr 12%

9-11

5/2 9/2 9/4

Third last time off a mark of 73, beaten 4l, and returns just 2lb higher at a course and distance he handles; Fiscal Policy has come back into form recently and stays effective at 6f on fast ground and AW — the in-form trainer stat is a mild negative but the overall profile from stall 7 makes him a live contender.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-11 with a modest Saturday Rating of 76 and inconsistent form of 322513 limits Fiscal Policy's appeal at 9/2.

Angel Gabriel

Age 3 · 9-11

221-

Rossa Ryan 18%

Ralph Beckett 19%

9-11

5/2 7/4 9/4

Given a clear run to the front at Lingfield last time, the gelding settled matters smoothly to take a novice by 1¼l and looks to have come on for that; Angel Gabriel handles 6f well and the profile looks solid for a handicap debut — 192 days away is the one query from stall 1, but connections' confidence makes him hard to overlook.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-11 with a Saturday Rating of 88 and inconsistent 221- form limits confidence despite fair 7/4 odds.

Sierra Sands

Age 3 · 9-7

51-403

Ryan Moore 24%

Ed Dunlop 12%

9-7

13/2 7/2 13/2

Third at Hamilton beaten 3l at a trip shorter than today's, suggesting the return to 6f or 7f is a positive; Sierra Sands handles today's conditions well and tops our ratings in this field — consistent around these marks and capable on the form, with stall 4 neutral; the chief concern is the early pace.

AI verdict

Carrying 9-7 off a Saturday Rating of 80 with inconsistent form (51-403) at 4/1 suggests mid-tier claims.

Fresh Fade

Age 3 · 9-7

045-60

Kieren Fox 10%

Michael Attwater 9%

9-7

SP 50/1 66/1

Form has fallen away in recent starts and beaten well down the field at Windsor last time; Fresh Fade handles the trip and going but is ranked lowest on our figures and her current trajectory makes it hard to see her reversing things from stall 2, with the form a real concern at this stage.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 49, poor form (045-60), and 50/1 odds signal Fresh Fade is dismissed by the market.

Ice Cube

Age 3 · 8-4

57-356

Saffie Osborne 14%

Richard Spencer 15%

8-4

7/1 15/2 7/1

Beaten down the field at Goodwood off a longer trip, and seems better suited back at 7f to 8f; Ice Cube gets first-time blinkers today and the trainer is in good form — without a win in recent starts, but the headgear could sharpen the picture and the official rating of 61 leaves a degree of upside from stall 5.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 67, inconsistent form (57-356), and unfavourable 8-4 weight make 6/1 odds unappealing.

Beauty Box

Age 2 · 9-2

421

Clifford Lee 17%

James Tate 19%

9-2

7/1 11/1 11/2

Winning form at this trip and on this ground stands up, and a 2l success at Ripon last time out was straightforward enough; the step up in grade is the question now for Beauty Box, and she will need to build on that to feature from stall 2.

AI verdict

Rated 87 with solid 421 form at 7/1, Beauty Box carries 9-2 weight without favourite market support.

Californian Angel

Age 2 · 9-2

Cieren Fallon 18%

Hugo Palmer 13%

—

150

9-2

13/2 6/1 5/1

Debut third beaten 2½l at Nottingham showed there is ability there, and this trip on a sound surface suits; yet to win and the sharp grade rise makes Californian Angel tough to fancy from stall 7, though the form base gives her a platform to improve.

AI verdict

Californian Angel's 150 Saturday Rating and recent form figure of 3 at 17/2 odds suggest mid-tier prospects under 9-2.

Glorious Game

Age 2 · 9-2

Oisin Murphy 22%

Hugo Palmer 13%

—

161

9-2

13/8 32/17 31/19

Debut scorer at Windsor, finding extra to assert by 1½l, and the finish suggested there is more to come; Glorious Game looks useful and the first-time tongue-tie is worth noting, though the step into a higher grade from stall 8 now tests how good she really is.

AI verdict

Glorious Game earned 5/5 stars by combining a dominant Saturday Rating of 161 with solid 6/4 odds and perfect recent form.

Havana Sprite

Age 2 · 9-2

421

Hector Crouch 18%

James Tate 19%

9-2

5/1 3/1 5/1

Landed a novice at Bath by 2½l last time with plenty in hand, and this trip should be within her compass on a surface she handles; Havana Sprite tops our ratings and looks the one to beat, with a step up in grade the only caveat after just three recent outings.

AI verdict

Rated 95 with solid 421 form at 9/2, Havana Sprite shows mid-tier market confidence without favourite status to justify more stars.

Margaret's Pearl

Age 2 · 9-2

410

Silvestre De Sousa 14%

Lemos De Souza 11%

9-2

80/1 50/1 80/1

Overwhelmed by the pace and well held in a Listed race at York last time, though that came after a win the previous start; cheekpieces go on for the first time. Margaret's Pearl handles today's trip and ground but sits bottom of our ratings and will need others to underperform from stall 1.

AI verdict

A 66/1 outsider carrying 9-2 with a Saturday Rating of 52 and patchy form of 410 signals minimal winning prospects.

Motown Filly

Age 2 · 9-2

George Wood 11%

Richard Spencer 15%

—

153

9-2

7/1 5/1 7/1

Caught the eye on debut at Windsor, finishing strongly to be beaten only 1½l in second, and the trainer is in good form; Motown Filly is yet to win but has the ability and this trip on good-to-soft suits her well — the jump in grade is the main test from stall 5.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 153 and solid recent form back a 11/2 market price carrying 9-2 weight competitively.

The Can Can Queen

Age 2 · 9-2

515

Rossa Ryan 18%

Charlie Johnston 13%

9-2

18/1 25/1 18/1

Came up short when dropped back in trip at Beverley last time, finding the shorter trip too sharp when beaten 5l, but returns to 6f today which is her best distance on good ground; The Can Can Queen has won at this level and is capable of running well, though in-and-out form from stall 4 means she cannot be relied upon.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 48 and 33/1 odds reflect weak recent form of 515, making her an outsider with little market confidence.

What A Girl Wants

3220

David Egan 14%

Kevin Philippart de Foy 16%

—

153

9-2

11/2 11/4 11/2

Listed-placed form in Ireland set a high standard before a tough Group 3 on stable debut left her beaten; in good shape beforehand and acts on soft as well as today's ground, What A Girl Wants is a filly of real quality whose best efforts demand respect — just needs to recapture that earlier level from stall 6.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 153 and consistent form figures of 3220 at 4/1 make her a solid each-way proposition at 9-2.

Northern Express

Age 8 · 9-10

43-635

Sean Kirrane 11%

Michael Dods 12%

9-10

18/1 8/1 18/1

Returning from a four-month break after a useful display beaten 5l at Bahrain, and effective over today's trip and ground; first-time headgear could sharpen Northern Express, though he has been winless in recent starts and faces stronger opposition from stall 10 off OR 96.

AI verdict

Moderate Saturday Rating of 88, a 9-10 weight burden, and uninspiring 43-635 form limit confidence despite 10/1 odds appeal.

Mudbir

Age 4 · 9-8

5117-0

William Buick 25%

John & Thady Gosden 24%

102

9-8

7/2 11/4 7/2

Won twice last season and was progressive before meeting trouble on his reappearance, unable to quicken when down the field at Ascot; with the gelding operation behind him and conditions that suit, Mudbir has the tools to bounce back from stall 2, though a 47-day break and first-time headgear bring a question mark.

AI verdict

Mudbir's solid Saturday Rating of 102 is undermined by a heavy 9-8 weight and uninspiring recent form showing a last-place finish.

Hawksbill

Age 4 · 9-8

0-5060

Saffie Osborne 14%

Richard Spencer 15%

9-8

9/1 17/2 8/1

Returning from a lengthy break off a mark that now looks fair for this grade, and effective over 7f to 1m on a sound surface; Hawksbill held his own against stronger company last time and is able to compete off this rating — the main risk from stall 8 is whether the break dulls his edge.

AI verdict

Hawksbill's poor form of 0-5060, high weight of 9-8, and 11/1 odds suggest the market holds little confidence at a Saturday Rating of 85.

Superposition

Age 5 · 9-7

8-4091

Jack Callan 14%

Ed Dunlop 12%

9-7

12/1 13/2 12/1

Came from off the pace and really knuckled down to take a handicap at Newmarket by a neck last time, and the track and conditions suit again; Superposition is three pounds higher here and an inconsistent profile means this is not a certainty, but he has the class to run up to his best again from stall 6.

AI verdict

Rated 83 with patchy form (8-4091) and carrying 9-7 at 9/1, Superposition shows enough potential to warrant mid-tier consideration.

Dark Tornado

Age 5 · 9-4

58-878

John Egan 9%

Michael Wigham 13%

9-4

20/1 20/1 18/1

Blocked for room late at Newmarket last time and likely left with more to offer than the margin shows, beaten 3½l off this mark; Dark Tornado acts on a sound surface at this trip but has been well held in recent starts, and the visor goes on for the first time — the in-form trainer is a mild positive, yet he remains hard to trust from stall 9.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 71, poor form reading 58-878, and 20/1 odds signal a horse the market has firmly dismissed.

Nostrum

Age 6 · 9-3

00-025

Alistair Rawlinson 10%

Michael Appleby 13%

9-3

7/1 7/1 13/2

Freshened up since a runner-up effort at Newbury two runs back, and has placed form in the grade; Nostrum handles today's trip and any ground, and cheekpieces go on for the first time, though he is no longer the force of old and the trainer's recent strike rate gives little confidence from stall 7.

AI verdict

Carrying 9-3 with a Saturday Rating of 87, inconsistent form (00-025) and 15/2 odds signal a mid-tier chance.

Philanthropist

Age 4 · 8-13

46-713

Rossa Ryan 18%

James Fanshawe 18%

8-13

11/1 10/1 11/1

Placed last time off a mark of 85, beaten 2½l, and returns off the same rating today; first-time headgear is a positive for Philanthropist, and he handles these conditions well over 7f to 8f — strong pace brings out his best, and the main uncertainty from stall 3 is whether conditions fire him on the day.

AI verdict

Philanthropist's moderate Saturday Rating of 80, inconsistent form (46-713), and 11/1 odds suggest little market confidence despite a manageable 8-13 weight.

Aalto

Age 6 · 8-13

078-90

Ryan Moore 24%

Ian Williams 11%

8-13

7/4 5/2 31/19

Has excuses for his York run, beaten 7¼l but not himself that day, and now 3lb below his last winning mark; Aalto usually comes from off the pace and handles today's trip and surface well, and a level-headed trainer booking in Ryan Moore points to confidence — inconsistency is the caveat, but the ratings put him marginally ahead from stall 1.

AI verdict

Aalto's 91 Saturday Rating and competitive 7/4 odds are undermined by inconsistent form (078-90) and a 8-13 weight burden.

I Still Have Faith

Age 6 · 8-11

262540

Silvestre De Sousa 14%

Stuart Williams 13%

8-11

9/1 14/1 8/1

Beaten out of the places last time at Newbury after solid form prior, and effective over 7f to 10f on any going; first-time tongue-tie could help I Still Have Faith from stall 11, though she is winless in recent starts and needs to bounce back sharply — she has the profile to do so but is hard to rely on.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 87 with inconsistent form (262540) and 8-11 weight limits confidence despite fair 17/2 odds.

Silent City

Jack Mitchell 16%

Roger Varian 20%

10-4

5/2 FCST 9/4

Consistent in recent starts with two wins in five outings, and runner-up off a mark only 2lb lower at Newmarket last time; Silent City has been off the track for 246 days and returns on a good mark with a handler in good recent form — the break is the only real concern from stall 1, and this remains a strong profile.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 90 and consistent form (12312-) are offset by a hefty 10-4 weight assignment.

Bridget's View

Age 4 · 10-4

-55877

Olivia Haines 15%

Stuart Williams 13%

10-4

18/1 25/1 16/1

Plodding in recent outings with three consecutive placed finishes below seventh, and yet to win in recent starts; Bridget's View handles this trip and ground but has been winless and her mark keeps easing — there is ability there over 7f to 8f on good-to-soft, but more is needed from stall 6 before she can be seriously fancied.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 51, 28/1 odds, and form reading -55877 confirm Bridget's View carries no winning chance despite top weight of 10-4.

Crystal Pier

Age 3 · 9-5

353-12

Rossa Ryan 18%

Ralph Beckett 19%

9-5

3/1 10/3 5/2

Narrow runner-up off a mark of 75 last time shows she is right in the mix at this level; Crystal Pier is effective from 7f to 9f on a sound surface and is able to compete at this level — the 4lb rise from that run is the only concern from stall 2, and she has the profile to be very competitive.

AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 90 and improving form (353-12) show promise, but 9-5 weight and 10/3 odds suggest the market holds reservations.

Darzah

Age 3 · 9-4

518

Cieren Fallon 18%

William Haggas 23%

9-4

7/2 4/1 7/2

Won two runs back and has experience of this trip and going, with the surface suiting; below form when beaten 6l in a handicap at Sandown last time, but effective at a mile on a sound surface and a return to form looks likely — Darzah tops our ratings and the form points her out as the one to beat, with stall 3 a fine draw.

AI verdict

Rated 85 with workable 4/1 odds, Darzah's inconsistent 518 form and 9-4 weight limit confidence to three stars.

Luna Celeste

Age 3 · 9-0

2-21

Saffie Osborne 14%

Tom Clover 17%

9-0

5/1 11/4 5/1

Secured a narrow maiden success at Leicester last time, keeping on gamely to get up in a short-head finish, and the form is encouraging; Luna Celeste is now stepping up 2f in trip for the first time, which is the main question from stall 4, but on good-to-firm and AW form she has scope to handle it if settlement is no issue.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 89, consistent form figures 2-21, and competitive 7/2 odds at 9-0 weight justify four stars.

Come On Eibhlin

Age 3 · 8-13

5-4633

David Egan 14%

Dylan Cunha 13%

8-13

15/2 11/2 15/2

Placed at Wetherby in her last outing beaten only ¾l off a 1lb higher mark, and handles this trip on a sound surface; Come On Eibhlin is versatile from 5f to 8f and acts on reasonable ground — she is winless in recent starts but the form shows she goes close, and from stall 5 she is capable of running another sound race, though stronger rivals set the bar higher.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 78 and inconsistent form figures of 5-4633 limit confidence despite fair 13/2 odds.
