11-2
15/2 11/2 15/2
Returned to form in fine style last time, landing a handicap at Ripon by a head off a mark 3lb below today's, and that tenacious display underlines his competitiveness at this trip; the trainer has a strong record at this course and the ground is in his favour.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 62, inconsistent form (55-051), and 11-2 weight limit restrict Yermanthere's winning prospects at 7/1.

Struck over course and distance last time, getting up in the closing stages to take a handicap by a neck off a 4lb lower mark, and that late surge suggests the 4lb rise need not stop him; first-time tongue-tie added and the going here suits.
AI verdict

Shimmering Sands earns 3/5 stars as a 2/1 non-favourite carrying top weight 11-1 despite a Saturday Rating of 72 and recent winning form.

14/1 FCST 12/1
Well held on his most recent outing at Wolverhampton, running beneath his established level; he handles today's distance and conditions, but needs to find notable improvement to recapture the form that has brought wins in recent starts.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-13 with a modest Saturday Rating of 61 and unfancied at 14/1, Sandret's recent form drop to sixth seals a 2/5 rating.

Filled fourth spot last time, beaten 3 lengths off a mark of 63 — just 1lb above today's — in a performance consistent with his capabilities; first-time cheekpieces arrive with the trainer in good form, and he has the ability to feature if producing his best.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 49, 16/1 odds, and inconsistent form reading -34184 make Tees George a weak market outsider.

7/1 15/2 7/1
At this course last time, beaten 3¼ lengths off a mark 1lb above today's but unable to sustain her effort after racing with too much enthusiasm in the early stages; the distance and going are familiar and she can last home at 12 furlongs in a steadily-run contest, but variable form makes her unreliable.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-10 with inconsistent form (936535) and a low Saturday Rating of 55 at 9/1 limits confidence.

Well held at Leicester on his most recent start, beaten 9 lengths in a display well short of his better efforts; back after a break and today's surface suits him, but the mark continues to ease with good reason and a significant improvement is needed to threaten.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 43, weak 6-9538 form, and 16/1 odds confirm Star Start lacks the market confidence or consistency to merit more than 2 stars.

7/4 18/13 7/4
Acquitted himself well last time, filling second place beaten 1½ lengths off a mark of 67 — just 1lb below today's — and the going conditions suit him; the step back up to 10 furlongs is the main question, with his best form having come at shorter trips.
AI verdict

Ephron's consistent form (67-152) and competitive 7/4 odds are undermined by a Saturday Rating of 74 and a hefty 10-4 weight.

Finished third at Brighton last time, beaten 2¼ lengths off the same mark as today, suggesting he retains some form; tongue-tie and visor are both fitted for the first time here, and while he handles the trip well enough, inconsistency makes him hard to rely on.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of just 29, 28/1 odds, and inconsistent form including an unseating makes Wrist Art a low-confidence outsider.

11/8 7/4 18/13
Landed his only start, taking a 4yo bumper at Down Royal by 5½ lengths, and brings that background to the Flat here; he acts on a sound surface over stamina trips and could make an immediate impact if that form carries over.
AI verdict

Alfred Wincham's strong Saturday Rating of 147 and competitive 15/8 odds justify 4/5 stars despite carrying top weight of 10-2.

33/1 16/1 25/1
A son of Decorated Knight out of a dam who showed fair ability at 10 furlongs, he is a half-brother to Golden Wolf, a useful performer at two miles or more; the trainer arrives in decent form, but making an instant impression as a debutant is never assured.
AI verdict

At 28/1 and carrying 10-2 with unknown form, Who's The Goat's 117 Saturday Rating cannot overcome weak market confidence.

A Camelot colt who is a full brother to a top-class performer at 10-12 furlongs, with his dam also having shown useful ability at a mile; from a strong yard, he looks well placed to make an immediate impression in what appears a modest field.
AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 152 and competitive 9/4 odds at 9-2 weight justify four stars despite unknown form.

Made little impact on his only start, finding the early pace too strong in a maiden at Newbury where he was well held; improvement is anticipated but a significant step forward is very much needed to factor here.
AI verdict

Rated 138 but single-figure form and 14/1 odds suggest limited market confidence despite competitive weight of 9-2.

Gave a clear indication of ability on his sole start, finishing second in a novice at Ripon albeit beaten 11 lengths, and a break since should have him ready to progress; proven at around 11 furlongs on a sound surface, he merits respect if taking the expected step forward.
AI verdict

Strong 158 Saturday Rating and consistent placed form at 2/1 market position justify four stars despite not heading the market.

9-12
16/1 11/1 14/1
Ran with some encouragement on her sole start, finishing fourth beaten around 8 lengths in a novice at Ripon, and with today's distance and going both familiar, she looks capable of taking a forward step second time out.
AI verdict

A single fourth-place form figure and 14/1 outsider odds signal limited market confidence in Carnival Of Light's winning prospects.

100/1 FCST 80/1
Two starts have brought similar outcomes without threatening, her most recent outing at Ripon leaving the impression she is running to a limited level; a substantial improvement is required, though the trainer carries a strong record at this course.
AI verdict

Massive 100/1 odds and a weak form figure of 55 expose Stolen Kisses as a long shot despite carrying 9-12.

Handled the step into handicap company well on her most recent start, going down by only 3 lengths at Nottingham off a mark of 80, and today's mile should suit a filly proven on a sound surface.
AI verdict

Capichera's strong Saturday Rating of 99 and short 2/5 odds confirm clear market confidence, despite inconsistent 42-32 form.

9/1 6/1 17/2
Beaten 6 lengths on debut at Haydock, unable to match the early tempo in a novice, but a pedigree that points to at least a mile and a top jockey aboard suggest she is capable of improvement; the trainer is in a lean spell of late.
AI verdict

Sedeirah's single run showing only a sixth-place finish and 9/1 odds suggest limited winning claims despite a competitive 144 Saturday Rating.

Her debut effort has since been given a strong endorsement at a higher level, and today's drop back to a mile looks sensible for a filly proven on this going; a tongue-tie applied for the first time adds an element of the unknown.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 153 and consistent form figures of 34 at 4/1 odds make Take A View a strong each-way proposition.

4/1 7/2 10/3
Showed signs of a return to form when beaten 7 lengths here last time, a better effort than some preceding runs, and he handles today's distance and ground; off a 61-day break now, and he will need to produce more than that previous run to genuinely threaten.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-11 with poor recent form of -37406 and a modest Saturday Rating of 80 limits confidence.

Landed two races in his last five starts and his trainer is in good form, making him interesting; well below par last time where he was never involved, and today's step down in trip back to a mile is a question mark given his record so far on faster ground.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-10 with inconsistent form of 31-710 and an 8/1 market price limits Dovey Moon's rating of 82 to three stars.

Below his best when beaten 5 lengths at York last time, something of an underperformance, and more is needed to get involved here; his mark has been easing and he handles today's distance and surface well, while a top course jockey adds appeal.
AI verdict

Kaleido's solid Saturday Rating of 79 and fair 3/1 odds are undermined by inconsistent form figures of 19-609.

Hit the line strongly at this course and distance last time, going down by the narrowest of margins off a mark just 1lb lower than today, and she deserved better; first-time cheekpieces, a course she clearly handles well, and a consistent placed record all point her way.
AI verdict

Form figures of 226752 and a Saturday Rating of 83 limit confidence despite fair odds of 10/3 at 9-8 weight.

Ran to form at Wetherby last time, beaten just over 2 lengths off a mark a pound higher than today, and he loves to dominate from the front over 8f on any ground; first-time cheekpieces and a top course trainer add interest, though his recent profile suggests more is still needed.
AI verdict

Inconsistent form (723385) and a mid-range Saturday Rating of 79 limit confidence despite fair 9/2 market odds.

Held up and ran to his level at York last time, though he tends to pull hard and that cost him there; first-time cheekpieces are a notable gear change, and while effective over longer trips the drop to a mile here may not be ideal.
AI verdict

Jez Bomb's inconsistent form (623049) and a Saturday Rating of 76 make 13/2 odds unappealing at a hefty 9-5 weight.

Out of form and made no impression at Carlisle last time, staying in the rear throughout; first-time cheekpieces are a try, but a wide draw in stall 8 compounds the task, and it is difficult to make a case on recent evidence despite his versatility on any going.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 50, poor form (70-957), and 33/1 odds signal a market-ignored runner carrying 9-4 with minimal winning prospects.

Well beaten on his most recent start, below form by a wide margin off a mark just 1lb higher than today, and he needs to reverse that substantially; his trainer is out of sorts, and despite first-time cheekpieces his profile here is hard to warm to.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-1 with a modest Saturday Rating of 68 and inconsistent form (-11296) limits confidence despite 15/2 odds.

Ran creditably at Thirsk last time, beaten just over 3 lengths off a mark 2lb higher than today, and he enjoys dominating at the front over 5/6f on a sound surface; tends to pull hard but is capable off this mark if he settles.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-12 with a low Saturday Rating of 59, poor recent form of 773045, and drifting odds of 12/1 signal no winning case.

Runner-up in each of her last three starts, including a narrow defeat by three-quarters of a length here off a mark just 1lb below today's, and she handles this course and surface well; with a top jockey aboard from stall 4, she looks the one to beat.
AI verdict

Landed a handicap at Beverley last time, finishing strongly to score by 1.5 lengths off a mark 6lb lower than today, and the top course trainer is a positive; first-time tongue-tie and blinkers accompany a significant rise in the weights, though, and more improvement is needed at this higher level.

Pulled too hard at Thirsk last time but still ran to his level, beaten only 2 lengths off this exact mark, and he handles the distance on good ground; the tendency to be headstrong is the reservation, but he has a genuine chance here if he can settle.

Below her best at Redcar last time, beaten 3.5 lengths off a mark 2lb higher than today, and a return to her better form is needed; she handles the distance and surface well, her trainer is in good nick, and despite the wide stall 8 draw she has enough ability to get involved.
AI verdict

Soca Star's Saturday Rating of 54, outsider odds of 18/1, and inconsistent form of 273-25 highlight limited winning prospects despite carrying 9-8.

Third last time when returning to form, beaten 3.5 lengths off a mark 2lb higher than today, and a drop in the weights here could help; ran poorly at this track two starts back, and first-time blinkers are a significant gear change that could go either way.

Kept to form at Thirsk last time, going under by 3.25 lengths off a mark just 1lb above today's, and she is well suited by 5f on this going; her official rating has been easing and there is more to come if she can reproduce that level of effort.
AI verdict

Rated just 63 with inconsistent form of 56-374 and carrying 9-3, Without Flaw offers little appeal at 11/2.

Fourth at Ripon last time, running to something close to his mark over the right distance and surface, and connections have a strong record in this event; the inconsistency in his recent profile is the reservation, but he warrants respect as a genuine danger.

Encouraging fifth at Carlisle last time, beaten 2.25 lengths off a mark 2lb higher than today after a patchy run of form, suggesting a return to his better level; he handles fast ground over today's distance, and is the one to beat if he can build on that effort.

Below form at Thirsk last time, beaten over 6 lengths, and her recent record is unreliable; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces suggest connections are searching for the right combination, though the trainer is without a win in the last fortnight and more improvement is required.

Showed enough over 7f to suggest this level is within range, and the drop back to 6f with first-time cheekpieces is a potentially positive combination; below form at Yarmouth last time beaten 6 lengths on soft, and his current mark looks stiff, though conditions today may suit better.

Superstorm's poor recent form (7-3246), low Saturday Rating of 59, and burdensome 9-4 weight justify the 2-star rating.

A length off the pace at this track and distance last time off the same mark, and she handles any ground well enough; first-time cheekpieces are a minor positive, though a cold spell for her trainer tempers confidence and she remains yet to score in recent starts.

Carrying top weight 9-3 with poor form -60364 and a weak Saturday Rating of 51 limits Lady Bouquet's prospects at 5/1.

Clearly has ability at this mark and connections have a strong record in this event, and today's give in the ground suits his action; but he had a below-par effort last time out, failing to see out the trip when beaten 7 lengths, and a revival is needed.
AI verdict

Low Saturday Rating of 50, inconsistent form (355717), and 10/1 odds signal limited market confidence.

Well beaten at Musselburgh last time having shown little, and first-time blinkers are a query; stall 8 is wide for this track, and a significant upturn in effort is needed to get involved despite his trip versatility on varying ground.
AI verdict

Nakatomi's Saturday Rating of 38, poor recent form (956328), and 16/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects.

In good heart after consecutive second-placed finishes and beaten a little over two lengths off this very mark at Hamilton last time; suited by up to 9f on this going and consistent enough to be a genuine factor again from a handy draw in stall 2.
AI verdict

Rated just 53 with inconsistent form (007022) and carrying 9-6, Far Ahead lacks the profile to justify 3/1 market support.

Third in a classified race at Leicester most recently — a fair effort — and first-time cheekpieces suggest connections are trying to unlock more; effective over today's trip on any ground, but needs to reproduce that effort to be involved here.
AI verdict

Weak Saturday Rating of 48, poor form reading 37-503, and unfancied 13/2 odds confirm limited winning prospects.

Third at Beverley last time, and fitted with first-time cheekpieces here, and well suited by today's distance and surface; below our top trio on figures, though, and a career-best effort would be required to get involved.
AI verdict

Elettaria's Saturday Rating of 33, poor form reading 655873, and 14/1 odds signal a weak market confidence and no winning chance.

Well below her best when a distant fourth last time, beaten 13 lengths off a mark just 1lb above today, and a significant improvement in form is needed; a trainer in good shape and a drop to a lower weight are mild positives for a filly effective over today's trip on fast ground.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-1 with a modest Saturday Rating of 54 and inconsistent form of -41234 makes 17/2 odds unappealing.

125/1 66/1 100/1
Well beaten at Ripon most recently after showing little, and this good ground may not be his ideal surface given his best form has come on AW; off 32 days and ranked lowest of the nine on our figures, it is hard to make a case for him.
AI verdict

At 125/1 with a Saturday Rating of 24 and form reading 6-9098, Captain Bruce offers no credible winning case.
