Norman Fletcher

Miss Amber Jackson-Fennell(7) 10%

Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies 14%

111

103

12-1

4/1 13/2 7/2

Consistent enough at 2m and handles any ground, but form has been tailing off for the past twelve months with well-beaten efforts in recent handicaps; first-time hood fitted and retains a mark of 111. Yet to score in recent starts and must show something closer to his best of 12 months ago to justify favouritism on our figures.

AI verdict

Poor recent form (9837-7) and a high weight of 12-1 undermine his 4/1 market position despite a Saturday Rating of 103.

Paul Nicholls 22%

104

101

11-8

7/1 11/2 13/2

Back after a break of nearly eight months and below form prior to that in a higher-grade handicap; the yard has a strong recent record in this race and he handles today's distance and conditions. First-time cheekpieces fitted and the return to a longer distance could prove beneficial, but a lot to prove after such a long absence.

AI verdict

Roadshow's 101 Saturday Rating and 13/2 odds suggest mid-tier market confidence, but 11-8 weight and inconsistent U3417- form limit upside.

Saint Polo

Age 6 · 11-3

923-71

Mr Jamie Neild(7) 24%

Jennie Candlish 17%

102

11-3

15/8 5/4 32/17

Took a handicap by seven lengths off this mark last time in a first-time tongue strap, running to his best form since going into handicaps; effective over 2m-3m and acts on good to soft and good. Only seven days since that win but the consistent profile gives confidence he will go close again.

AI verdict

Strong 102 Saturday Rating and attractive 15/8 odds back recent form figures showing a win, carrying 11-3 competitively.

Chillhi

Age 6 · 10-10

57-039

Mr Louis Burke 0%

Barry Murphy 5%

10-10

22/1 40/1 14/1

Faded out of the picture last time when the trip stretched stamina, a pattern that makes the extended journey here a concern; effective over a shorter range of 12-16 furlongs on a sound surface and first-time cheekpieces are fitted. Yet to score in recent starts with a bit still to prove over this distance.

AI verdict

Long odds of 20/1, a Saturday Rating of 77, and poor recent form of 57-039 make Chillhi an unconvincing outsider.

Cogital

Age 11 · 10-9

7402-1

Mr James Murray 14%

Bernard Llewellyn 8%

10-9

7/1 9/2 7/1

Back to his best last time, taking a handicap here by a length from a lower mark and in good form across both codes; acts on good ground over 2m and remains well treated on older form. Rises 4lb for that success, however, and the inconsistency in his overall record is worth noting.

AI verdict

Cogital's recent win in form revives interest, but 10-9 weight and 7/1 odds suggest the market holds reservations at a Saturday Rating of 92.

Ugo Bingo

Age 7 · 10-8

4647-7

Miss Heidi Palin(5) 22%

Joe Tizzard 14%

10-8

7/1 7/1 6/1

Has been dropping down the weights and, though held up and beaten 10 lengths here last time, shaped as though a more demanding test over this trip could produce a better result; acts on any ground over 2m-2m3f. Yet to score in recent starts but is a genuine threat if given the searching test he needs.

AI verdict

Ugo Bingo's poor recent form of 4647-7, combined with a 7/1 odds and modest Saturday Rating of 89, offers little confidence.

Applejack Poet

Age 9 · 10-7

P84F7-

Miss Imogen Mathias(7) 3%

Barry Murphy 5%

10-7

28/1 16/1 28/1

Going too hard up front and emptying quickly last time, was well beaten, though had been in sound form before that; inconsistent overall and returning from a long absence of 264 days. Effective over 2m and should strip fitter for the run, but difficult to trust first time back from such a break.

AI verdict

Long odds of 25/1, poor recent form showing a fall, and a low Saturday Rating of 63 suggest minimal winning prospects.

Linden Lane

Age 6 · 10-7

334-53

Miss Eleanor Williams 5%

Mrs C. Williams 8%

10-7

13/2 6/1 11/2

Third here last time, beaten one and a quarter lengths off this mark over track and trip; a maiden who has been competitive without managing to get off the mark in recent starts. Acts on a sound surface over 2m and consistent enough to keep a place in the frame, though that first success remains elusive.

AI verdict

Linden Lane's mid-range Saturday Rating of 88, inconsistent form of 334-53, and 15/2 odds suggest a competitive but unreliable each-way contender.

Keep Under Wraps

Age 3 · 11-2

—

Jack Tudor 13%

Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero 15%

—

151

11-2

4/1 FCST 7/2

A Massaat colt with a mixed pedigree — a half-brother stayed 10 furlongs but another relative was poor at staying trips, with the dam showing ability only at sprint distances; pedigree alone gives no great confidence. Best treated with caution on debut, though the scope to improve with experience is unknown.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 151 at 4/1 odds signals solid market confidence despite not being favourite.

Sudbury Hill

Age 3 · 11-2

Paul O'Brien 14%

Harry Derham 20%

158

11-2

4/5 4/7 8/11

Gave first run away on hurdling debut, finishing a promising second beaten four and a half lengths; handles today's trip and ground and is likely to come on significantly for that experience. Yet to score, but the manner of that debut display suggests there is more to come when given a stronger ride.

AI verdict

Strong 158 Saturday Rating and dominant 4/5 market odds with solid placed form justify four stars.

Affection

David Noonan 8%

David Pipe 16%

154

10-9

5/2 7/4 9/4

Multiple winner on the Flat in France over 10-12 furlongs on all-weather and good to soft; shaped as though crying out for a more demanding test on a recent stable appearance and the switch to hurdles over this trip looks a good fit. Yet to run under rules but the French Flat background suggests she could develop into a useful hurdler.

AI verdict

Affection's strong Saturday Rating of 154 and competitive 5/2 market odds justify the 4-star rating despite unknown form.

Hearts To Heaven

Age 3 · 10-9

—

Callum Pritchard 14%

Joe Tickle 11%

—

125

10-9

40/1 28/1 40/1

A filly by Dragon Dancer out of an unraced dam, with her nearest relative making little impression at staying trips; pedigree gives mixed signals and she is best watched on debut rather than trusted. Could run creditably but is an unknown quantity first time out.

AI verdict

Long odds of 40/1 and unknown form make Hearts To Heaven a 125-rated outsider with little market support.

531-21

Harry Skelton 26%

Dan Skelton 22%

121

131

11-13

8/13 5/14 9/17

Won a novice hurdle with a great deal in hand last time, pulling clear by 15 lengths for a trainer in excellent current form, and could have more in hand for the new yard over staying trips; effective over 2m-4f-3m and suited by decent ground. First-time tongue strap fitted, and the question is whether today's more experienced rivals can close the gap.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 131 combined with consistent form (531-21) and market confidence at 8/13 justify the 4-star rating.

Freddie Gingell 22%

Paul Nicholls 22%

162

11-8

6/4 3/2 5/4

Opened his account at Newton Abbot on debut by an emphatic margin and clearly has scope for further improvement for a top yard; first-time cheekpieces add a positive angle and he handles today's trip and going. Didn't face strong opposition that day, but the manner of that display suggests he is open to a significant step forward.

AI verdict

Perfect form (1/1) and a strong 162 Saturday Rating justify 4/5 stars, though 6/4 odds and 11-8 weight present slight market risk.

Bacardi Blue

Age 5 · 11-1

55-26

Bryan Carver 13%

Dean Summersby 7%

126

11-1

80/1 FCST 66/1

Placed in a point and showed some signs on a modest hurdling debut, though was held comfortably last time; the step up in trip today looks likely to play to her strengths. Yet to score under rules, though, and has plenty to find against more experienced rivals.

AI verdict

Massive 80/1 odds and weak 55-26 form signal Bacardi Blue as a rank outsider with little market confidence.

Ballinoulart

Age 8 · 11-1

P-2243

Richard Upton 18%

David Bridgwater 10%

11-1

33/1 25/1 28/1

Third in a maiden point last time out, a step up on what had been shown before, though limited overall in that sphere; plenty to prove on a first start under rules and returning from a break in first-time hood. Yet to score and faces stiff competition from more experienced rivals.

AI verdict

Long odds of 33/1, a modest Saturday Rating of 54, and inconsistent form figures of P-2243 undermine Ballinoulart's chances significantly.

James Best 9%

Polly Gundry 7%

123

11-1

33/1 25/1 22/1

Beaten four lengths in a point last time, a more encouraging display than what had come before; first-time hood fitted and the trainer has noted some minor ability from the pointing career. Still without a win and returning from a lengthy absence, so needs a significant performance to be considered a genuine factor.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 33/1 and a poor form reading of P/PU-2 signal minimal winning chances despite a 123 Saturday Rating.

/00-7P

11-1

150/1 125/1 150/1

Still learning the job at this course last time, green and unable to complete; nothing encouraging so far from either hurdling start and a half-sibling showed little at staying trips. First-time hood fitted but very much one for the experience.

AI verdict

Extreme 150/1 odds and a form figure of /00-7P showing no completions make Keep Off The Sugar a highly unlikely contender.

Marhaba The Champ

Age 7 · 11-12

424-6

Roisin Leech 7%

Sophie Leech 13%

11-12

16/1 FCST 14/1

Shaped respectably on handicap debut here, beaten nine and a quarter lengths, and should come on for that experience with Flat form suggesting potential to do better at this level; effective over 2m on fast ground with first-time combination headgear fitted. Yet to score under rules but should progress.

AI verdict

Outsider at 20/1 with weak 424-6 form and a low Saturday Rating of 66 makes this a poor betting proposition.

Phantom Gold

Age 8 · 11-12

/56-42

I. J. Power 9%

Jennie Candlish 17%

11-12

5/2 FCST 9/4

Placed last time off a 4lb lower mark and looked as though a more demanding test would have helped; a bumper and point background that points to staying trips and effective at 2m-plus on good. First-time hood fitted and yet to score in recent hurdles starts, but there is upside if given a searching examination.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-12 with a modest Saturday Rating of 92 and uninspiring form of /56-42 limits Phantom Gold's appeal at 9/4.

Katana

Age 6 · 11-8

6635-2

Ciaran Gethings 11%

Robert Stephens 11%

11-8

8/1 6/1 7/1

Placed at Worcester last time when a positive front-end ride down in trip produced a better effort, beaten three lengths; effective over 2m-2m-4f on soft and good and on a fair mark if that revival is genuine. Yet to score in recent starts but is a threat if the step forward from that outing carries into this.

AI verdict

Katana's moderate Saturday Rating of 84, long odds of 15/2, and inconsistent form figures of 6635-2 offer little confidence despite carrying 11-8.

Privilege

/5226-

Charlie Price 12%

John & Rhys Flint 8%

22/1 12/1 22/1

Out of sorts on turf last time, though returns from what appears to have been a long absence; effective at 2m-2m-2f on good ground and has shown promise at this level on older form, albeit unreliably. Has plenty to prove before this mark can be trusted.

AI verdict

Privilege's outsider odds of 22/1, poor form of /5226-, and low Saturday Rating of 64 signal minimal winning chances.

Sean Bowen 24%

11/4

Fourth last time having gone a little free early and then faded on the climb to the line, though had shown promise at the level on his two previous handicap hurdle starts; in-form trainer and effective at 2m on good. First-time hood may assist settling, and there is a real chance here if he builds on those placed efforts.

AI verdict

Moderate Saturday Rating of 88, inconsistent form (6F93-4), and 11-4 odds suggest limited winning prospects carrying 11-4.

00PF-P

Paddy Hanlon 5%

Syd Hosie 5%

40/1 20/1 33/1

Poor jumping and greenness contributed to a pulled-up effort at this course last time, and made next to no impression in points prior to switching to rules; plenty to prove and best watched. Hard to fancy with so little evidence of ability.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 46, 33/1 odds, and a dismal 00PF-P form record make Crab Road an uncompetitive 11-0 burden.

Makinbecon

Age 6 · 10-11

649-51

Callum Pritchard 14%

Barry Murphy 5%

10-11

9/2 13/2 4/1

Landed a race here last time by half a length off a lower mark, thriving when the contest was truly run at a strong gallop; effective over 2m-2m-3f on good and looks capable of further improvement given point form in the background. Rises 5lb for that success and the market will indicate whether connections believe he can defy the rise.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 86 and fair 9/2 odds offset by inconsistent form (649-51) and significant weight of 10-11.

Conor O'Farrell 12%

14/1 11/1 14/1

Made a couple of jumping errors last time but ran to form, beaten four lengths here over today's trip on a similar mark; showed ability in bumpers and could improve for a longer trip as confidence grows. Yet to score and inconsistent, though first-time hood may sharpen the effort.

AI verdict

Warfleet's 64 Saturday Rating, poor form of P/96-3, and 16/1 odds signal minimal market confidence.

Man Oh Man

Age 7 · 10-8

P72-59

Bryan Carver 13%

Dean Summersby 7%

10-8

25/1 22/1 20/1

Well beaten last time without an obvious excuse, having been in better shape before that; effective over 2m-3f-2m-5f on any ground and an inconsistent maiden. First-time hood fitted and the prior form was more encouraging, but it is difficult to rely on until that latest effort is explained.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 54, 25/1 odds, and form showing a pull-up make Man Oh Man an unconvincing outsider carrying 10-8.

Bowling Shane

Age 4 · 10-8

800-35

Ned Fox 9%

Clive Boultbee-Brooks 7%

10-8

22/1 20/1 22/1

Prone to setting too strong a pace and failing to last home, which proved the issue last time over a longer trip; effective at 12-14f on soft, good and all-weather and first-time hood fitted. Has shown promise on the Flat in the past but hurdles form has tailed off, and leaving that record behind is the minimum requirement here.

AI verdict

Bowling Shane's poor form (800-35), long-shot odds of 22/1, and low Saturday Rating of 63 justify just 2/5 stars.

Saucats

Age 5 · 10-7

James Davies 8%

11/1 FCST 9/1

Had every opportunity last time at Uttoxeter and still only fifth, beaten nine lengths, with the mark now considered fair; effective over 2m-2m-3f on soft and good. Inconsistent and yet to score in recent starts — first-time cheekpieces need to unlock something that the recent evidence has not shown.

AI verdict

Saucats is rated just 75 with inconsistent form (454-25) and dismissed by the market at 11/1 carrying 10-7.

Wise Counsellor

Daniel Steele 8%

18/1 14/1 18/1

Well beaten in recent starts, finishing eighth and seventh before a distant effort that was at least partly a need-for-the-run performance; showed promise on the Flat but hurdles form has deteriorated and there is ground to make up now stepping into handicaps at this level. First-time hood may prompt a better showing, but has much to prove.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 64, weak 678- form, and 18/1 odds suggest the market holds little confidence in this 10-5 weighted runner.

17/2 15/2 17/2

Well below form last time, finishing ninth after a more encouraging second on the previous start; form has tailed off recently and acts on soft and good around 2m. First-time tongue strap fitted and conditions may help, but there is something to prove after that poor latest display.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 12-0 with a modest Saturday Rating of 85, patchy form of 353-29, and an unconvincing 9/1 market price limits confidence.

15/8 7/4 32/17

Won a point by eight lengths last time, reliable and likely thrown in relative to a handicap mark here; effective over 3m on good ground and has two wins in recent starts. Our top-rated runner and, despite this being her first attempt over regulation fences, the pointing form puts her ahead of the field on merit.

AI verdict

Solid recent form (42-131) and competitive 2/1 odds are offset by a high 11-9 weight and modest 98 Saturday Rating.

9/4 FCST 2/1

Took this race off a 4lb lower mark last year and arrives only 4lb higher after a run of close seconds, just worn down late over the longer trip last time; a front-running type who relishes making it, effective around 2m-2m-4f on soft and good with the trainer in form. Should benefit from dropping back in trip and is a clear threat to our selection.

AI verdict

Consistent form of 1222-2 and a competitive 2/1 market price are offset by a hefty 11-9 weight assignment limiting upside.

Placed twice in recent starts over today's trip and conditions; pulled too hard and emptied when tried at a longer distance last time but has course and distance form and handles a wide range of ground. Effective over 2m-2m-4f and looks capable of contributing from the placed positions if settling better.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 84 and inconsistent form of /133-7 at 9/1 suggest mid-tier potential carrying 11-3.

9/1 9/1 8/1

Beaten 23 lengths in third last time over course and distance, held up and losing ground on the testing uphill finish; effective over 2m-4f-2m-7f and first-time tongue strap fitted. A maiden without a win in recent starts, but an unexposed type over fences who could stay on for minor honours.

AI verdict

Vengeance's mid-tier Saturday Rating of 80, 9/1 odds, and inconsistent form of 4554-3 justify a cautious three-star rating.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 84 and inconsistent form figures of 0515-4 justify mid-tier appeal at 11/2 carrying 10-2.

AI verdict

Rated just 62 with a form string showing two pulls and no win, School For Scandal faces steep odds of 16/1 carrying 10-2.

Ran to form stepped up in trip, a half-length second off 104 last time and only 2lb higher here; won by a length at Fontwell from a 5lb lower mark penultimate start and handles a sound surface well over staying trips. First-time cheekpieces may help, though a tendency to pull up is the main concern.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 12-0 at 7/1 with inconsistent form 5PP-12 and a Saturday Rating of 105 limits Belgarum's appeal.

Took this race by two and a half lengths off a 3lb lower mark three starts back and remains well treated given older efforts; effective over 2m-3m on any ground and shaped respectably at last start despite a sizeable defeat. First-time blinkers add interest, though the most recent display was well below par.

Carrying top weight of 12-0 at 11/1 with patchy form of 951-45 limits confidence despite a Saturday Rating of 93.

Inconsistent in recent starts, finishing seventh and unseating before another poor effort last time out — hard to trust. Does handle today's trip and conditions, and the mark has eased, but must demonstrate improved reliability over hurdles before demanding inclusion.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 66/1, poor form of 56P-U7, and a low Saturday Rating of 74 make Balkardy an unlikely contender.

First-time hood fitted and our figures put him clear at the head of the market.

AI verdict

Solid recent form of 325-12 and a competitive 9/2 market price are offset by a hefty 11-12 weight and Saturday Rating of 110.

Runner-up last time, beaten a length off 99 after travelling well but tending to lug under pressure, and steps up in trip having taken a race at Ludlow from a lower mark; the yard is in strong form and he looks capable of stepping forward now his problems have been addressed. Only 2lb higher than that last success and well treated given earlier form.

AI verdict

Carries top weight of 11-9 with patchy form (9/7-12) and a 107 Saturday Rating, limiting confidence despite 5/2 odds.

Third and second in the last two starts, holding up and staying on without threatening at Cartmel last time, shaping as though an even longer test would be welcome; on a fair mark and the course and distance suit. Yet to score in recent starts and needs the pieces to fall right in behind the pace.

AI verdict

Solid 106 Saturday Rating and consistent form figures of P7-223 at 11-8 weight justify mid-tier 4/1 market appeal.

8/1 13/2 8/1

Third beaten two lengths off a 1lb lower mark last time and handles this sort of trip well on good ground; effective out to 3m-plus and connections probably feel a little more is to come. Ranked last of eight on our figures, though, and has not shown enough to demand serious respect.

AI verdict

Rated 95 with solid 221-43 form, Jager Time's 15/2 odds and 11-7 weight suggest mid-tier market confidence.

5/1 11/2 7/2

Third here last time out, beaten four and a half lengths after being allowed an easy lead early and then finding plenty under pressure; in decent form of late over 2m-3m on soft and good to soft, and a first-time visor is fitted. Yet to score in recent starts and likely needs everything to fall right.

AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 96 and recent form showing a third suggests ability, but 6/1 odds and 11-2 weight limit confidence.

Jetty May

Age 6 · 12-0

5601-4

Liam Harrison 11%

Paul Nicholls 22%

12-0

7/2 9/2 11/4

Took a race here from a 5lb lower mark penultimate start and went below form when stepped up in trip last time on the same mark; back to a more suitable distance in first-time cheekpieces with course form to call on. Our top-rated runner and capable of making the running count if reverting to that earlier level.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 12-0 with a modest Saturday Rating of 83 and inconsistent form of 5601-4 limits Jetty May's appeal at 5/1.

Harry Reed 14%

Nick Scholfield 14%

11-8

7/1 6/1 13/2

Won by two and a quarter lengths off a mark 2lb higher at Hereford earlier and has now slipped back below that winning level; effective around 3m on soft and good, with the trainer in good current form. Tends to idle in front, which is the main risk, but has the form in the book to win off this mark.

AI verdict

Rated just 79 with inconsistent form (14-3P3) and carrying 11-8, Edgewell's 13/2 odds reflect limited market confidence.

Freddie Gingell 22%

Joe Tizzard 14%

7/2 32/17 7/2

Came down last time and had been placing consistently in the two starts before that; effective around 2m-4f on soft and good ground. A tricky sort at times, but a genuine contender if he gets round safely.

AI verdict

Hatos carries top weight of 11-8 with a modest Saturday Rating of 77 and inconsistent form of 2233-U, limiting confidence despite fair 10/3 odds.

18/1 16/1 18/1

Landed a race over course and distance off a higher mark earlier this season but has been inconsistent since and failed to complete last time; effective over 3m on good and good to soft, returning from a short break with a first-time hood. Must prove willingness to complete before placing any confidence here.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-5, a Saturday Rating of just 57, and 22/1 odds reflect poor recent form of 2346P-.

10/1 15/2 17/2

Held up and a well-beaten third at Fakenham most recently, never getting competitive over a trip she handles; better over fences than hurdles and comes here after a short break. Plenty to find in recent form but the switch back to chasing could bring about an upturn.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-4 with a weak form figure of 32/63- and a modest Saturday Rating of 78 makes 17/2 unappealing.

Sheila Lewis 8%

7/1 12/1 7/1

Runner-up in a point beaten a length last time and has placed twice in recent form; first-time cheekpieces fitted and handles today's ground. Yet to score and has had jumping-related issues previously, though the balance of evidence suggests an each-way type if things go smoothly.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-3 with a Saturday Rating of 79 and patchy form of FU8-32 limits confidence at 7/1.

Jack Tudor 13%

Christian Williams 10%

11-2

17/2 6/1 17/2

Drifted up the hill and struggled for fluency when fourth last time at a course that places a premium on clean jumping; effective over 3m-3m2f on a sound surface and first-time cheekpieces fitted. Unreliable and yet to score in recent starts — hard to fancy until consistency improves.

AI verdict

Carrying 11-2 with a Saturday Rating of just 77 and inconsistent form of 6276-4 at 15/2 makes Unspeakable a weak selection.

6/1 9/2 6/1

Made a series of jumping errors last time and was clearly not at his best, a well-beaten third over course and distance; suits 3m on good ground but that display was well short of what would be needed. Needs significantly improved jumping to figure.

AI verdict

Testflight's Saturday Rating of 75 and consistent form of 5334-3 at 6/1 suggest each-way potential without inspiring full confidence under 10-12.

10-8

10/1 18/1 10/1

The ground may have contributed to a distant fourth last time but has been underperforming for the new yard across several recent efforts; effective over 3m-plus and has slipped down the weights. Returning from a long break and the form needs to be taken on trust — hard to be confident until it arrives.

AI verdict

Benny Baloo's poor form figures of /5584- and weak Saturday Rating of 71 at 10/1 justify a low 2-star rating.
