Lady Rosalind

Age 2 · 9-2

Tom Marquand 16%

William Haggas 23%

—

146

9-2

7/1 11/2 13/2

Beaten 10 lengths on her Yarmouth debut 10 days ago, she clearly needs to find more to feature here, though her ranking in the middle of our figures suggests scope for better. Experience at the trip is a small plus, but a significant step forward is needed.

AI verdict

Midfield Saturday Rating of 146 and single-run form figure of 9 at 7/1 suggest ability but unproven consistency.

Sovereign Grace

Age 2 · 9-2

Sam James 14%

K. R. Burke 20%

—

151

9-2

10/3 11/4 3/1

Never given a clear run on debut at York despite showing promise, she was beaten 6½ lengths in a novice and rates as clearly capable of better on today's distance and going. With a pedigree that spans speed and stamina, she is a strong candidate to improve markedly here.

AI verdict

Sovereign Grace's mid-tier Saturday Rating of 151 and single-run form figure of 6 justify a cautious 3/5 despite fair 10/3 market odds.

Age 2 · 9-2

—

Oisin Orr 14%

Richard & Peter Fahey 10%

—

125

9-2

28/1 20/1 28/1

A Blackbeard filly with a useful half-sister at 10 furlongs in her pedigree, she faces a stiff enough task on her racecourse debut. Midfield on our figures, there is breeding interest here even if the first appearance is likely to be a learning exercise.

AI verdict

Long odds of 28/1 and an unknown form record make Sweet Iris a risky outsider despite carrying 9-2.

Texting

Age 2 · 9-2

—

Alex Jary 9%

Ivan Furtado 10%

—

134

9-2

18/1 FCST 16/1

A Caturra filly making her debut at the foot of our figures, she faces a tough task with a yard that has been in modest form recently. Related to a smart 5f performer, the pedigree angle is of some interest, but she appears hard to fancy at this stage.

AI verdict

Long odds of 18/1 and a modest Saturday Rating of 134 make Texting an unlikely winner against stronger market rivals.

Thunder Filly

Age 2 · 9-2

—

Cam Hardie 6%

Richard & Peter Fahey 10%

—

124

9-2

28/1 20/1 28/1

A Lope Y Fernandez filly on her racecourse bow, she is related to a smart 7f performer and carries mid-field expectations on our figures. Her debut from stall 13 is probably best viewed as an introduction, as she is likely to come on significantly for the experience.

AI verdict

Long odds of 28/1 and an unproven form record leave Thunder Filly poorly positioned in the market despite carrying 9-2.

Travellers Girl

Age 2 · 9-2

Oisin McSweeney 10%

Roger Fell 12%

—

150

9-2

7/1 13/2 6/1

Consistent in both starts to date — including a third at Thirsk just five days ago — she handles today's distance and going and looks to have more in the locker. A tendency to pull keenly is the main concern, but she merits respect at this level.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 150 and solid 43 form justify strong market confidence despite 7/1 odds at 9-2 weight.

Turbo Shandy

Age 2 · 9-2

Jack Garritty 11%

Ivan Furtado 10%

—

127

9-2

25/1 FCST 22/1

Stepped up markedly from her opening run with a respectable fourth, beaten 3 lengths in a seller at Musselburgh last time, and she handles today's going. Yet to score, though, and with the trainer struggling for form she looks up against it here.

AI verdict

Long odds of 25/1, modest form figures of 94, and a Saturday Rating of 127 confirm Turbo Shandy as an outsider with limited winning prospects.

Celita Star

Age 2 · 8-13

Ray Dawson 14%

Alan Brown 9%

—

126

8-13

66/1 50/1 66/1

Unable to quicken on her Hamilton debut 11 days ago, she was beaten 9 lengths in a maiden and clearly needs to find more. Bred to appreciate 6 furlongs and beyond, there is scope for improvement with experience, though the current grade is a test.

AI verdict

A single form figure of 6 and 66/1 odds reflect a market with zero confidence in Celita Star's chances.

Eleven Eighty Two

Age 2 · 8-13

Jason Hart 14%

Ben Haslam 14%

8-13

9/4 FCST 2/1

A strong runner-up at Carlisle on her second start, beaten just half a length in a maiden when stepping up in trip — she handles today's distance and going well. She has a clear chance if reproducing that level, though the trainer's current barren spell adds a degree of uncertainty.

AI verdict

Solid 79 Saturday Rating and fair 9/4 odds are tempered by limited form figures of 42 and non-favourite market status.

Halcon

Age 2 · 8-13

David Allan 13%

Tim Easterby 11%

—

154

8-13

4/1 FCST 7/2

Third on debut at this course, finishing with a sustained late effort to be beaten 2 lengths, she handles today's trip and conditions well. A top course jockey/trainer combination is a valuable asset, and she heads our figures — the one to beat.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 154 and solid 4/1 market support give Halcon strong winning claims despite a single form figure.

Spark In The Coal

Age 2 · 8-13

Barry McHugh 9%

Ollie Pears 12%

—

127

8-13

125/1

Well held in a claimer at Beverley 40 days ago and ranking near the foot of our figures, she looks up against it in this company. She is the type who could improve once eligible for handicaps, but that potential seems unlikely to surface today.

AI verdict

Odds of 125/1 and weak form figures of 86 signal minimal market confidence despite a 127 Saturday Rating.

Spirit Of Lyra

Age 2 · 8-13

—

Rowan Scott 11%

William Knight 14%

—

149

8-13

8/1 15/2 7/1

A Lucky Vega filly on her racecourse debut, she carries mid-field expectations on our figures and faces a stiff enough task first time out. A dam that achieved little at 5f does not set the bar high, and she looks unlikely to feature prominently today.

AI verdict

Mid-tier Saturday Rating of 149 and 8/1 odds suggest market lacks confidence in Spirit Of Lyra's winning chances.

Wells Fargo Stage

Age 2 · 8-13

Duran Fentiman 7%

Tim Easterby 11%

—

125

8-13

50/1 40/1 50/1

Beaten 9 lengths at Carlisle on her latest start without improving on her debut showing, she needs to find considerably more to get into contention here. At this trip and going she has experience, and a top course trainer connection is a positive, but more is needed.

AI verdict

Long odds of 50/1, poor form figures of 05, and a weak Saturday Rating of 125 signal minimal winning chances.

War And Love

Age 4 · 9-9

325-9

Faye McManoman 7%

Brian Ellison 10%

9-9

10/1 8/1 17/2

Form figures of runner-up and third in recent starts suggest ability at this trip and on today's conditions, and she shapes as the type to benefit from stepping into handicap company. A well-beaten effort at Redcar last time and the yard's barren recent spell are the main concerns.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 56, poor recent form showing a ninth-place finish, and 10/1 odds indicate limited winning prospects.

Queen's Hame

Age 3 · 9-2

—

Tom Marquand 16%

William Haggas 23%

—

154

9-2

11/10

Daughter of Gleneagles making her racecourse debut, she is well regarded in what looks a weak opener and is related to several talented horses, including an able mile performer from the same yard. Well bred and from a top operation, she heads our figures here.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 154 combined with competitive 11/10 odds and 9-2 weight suggests reliable winning potential despite unknown form.

Alterity

Age 3 · 9-0

5-33

Jason Hart 14%

Charlie Johnston 13%

9-0

6/5 FCST 11/10

Solid at this trip on sound ground, she put up a consistent display when a length third at Beverley 13 days ago and sets the standard on recent form. A rangy filly who looks capable of further progress, she is right in the mix.

AI verdict

Alterity's solid 81 Saturday Rating and strong 6/5 market position are tempered by uninspiring 5-33 form suggesting a winner remains elusive.

Dayna

Age 3 · 9-0

—

Jack Nicholls 12%

Ed de Giles 10%

—

140

9-0

14/1

A Mehmas filly whose dam was useful at 7f and who is related to a smart 8f performer at two, she brings a quality page to her debut here. She faces a tough task first time out, but the pedigree warrants a degree of interest.

AI verdict

Dayna's 14/1 odds and low 140 Saturday Rating signal weak market confidence and limited winning prospects.

Speckled Brown

Age 3 · 9-0

0-5

Ray Dawson 14%

Andi Brown 12%

127

9-0

28/1 FCST 20/1

Nothing in her recent efforts — a fifth and an unplaced run — suggests she can get competitive here, and significant progress would be needed to feature. She does have experience at the trip, but at the foot of our figures she looks hard to fancy.

AI verdict

Long-shot odds of 28/1 and winless form (0-5) undermine a promising Saturday Rating of 127 at standard 9-0 weight.

Urban Road

Age 7 · 9-9

623500

Ray Dawson 14%

Alan Brown 9%

9-9

11/1 9/1 10/1

Failed to get into contention at York most recently, trailing throughout from off the pace in a handicap; a first-time visor represents a change of approach and the trip is well within his range, though he needs a significant pickup in form to make his presence felt here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 58, uninspiring form of 623500, and 11/1 odds signal limited winning prospects despite carrying 9-9.

Glorious Kitty

Age 4 · 9-9

-25112

Lewis Chalkley 8%

Michael & David Easterby 10%

9-9

3/1 11/4 3/1

Came close last time, just two lengths back when the ground turned softer than ideal, and prior to that she strung together back-to-back wins; she handles today's conditions and trip with authority and arrives from a competitive mark — this looks a solid opportunity for her.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-9 with a moderate Saturday Rating of 76, Glorious Kitty's fading form figure of -25112 undermines her 3/1 market position.

Up The Jazz

Age 5 · 9-6

392361

Warren Fentiman 9%

Richard & Peter Fahey 10%

9-6

11/4 FCST 5/2

Returned to top form last time, winning narrowly in a handicap off a mark 3lb lower than today's; he steps up 3lb here but handles any going and is effective over this trip, showing good tenacity to get his head in front — a genuine danger at this level.

AI verdict

Solid recent form (392361) and a 74 Saturday Rating justify mid-market 11/4 odds, but 9-6 weight limits upside.

Poet's Dawn

Age 11 · 9-6

914166

David Allan 13%

Tim Easterby 11%

9-6

17/2 13/2 17/2

Off the pace by some margin last time, beaten 8 lengths and below his best, but a drop back to 1m is a positive angle here; first-time cheekpieces are fitted and the jockey-trainer combination at this track has a strong record — improvement required, but an each-way outsider to note.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 61, inconsistent form (914166), and 9-6 weight limit opportunities at 17/2 suggest limited winning prospects.

Popeye Doyle

Age 4 · 9-5

36-029

Jason Hart 14%

Jessica Bedi 4%

9-5

28/1 20/1 25/1

Prone to running too freely — that tendency cost him dearly at Carlisle last time, where he was well beaten — and first-time blinkers and tongue-tie are the stable's attempt to keep him settled; effective over this trip on a sound surface but hard to trust given his inconsistency.

AI verdict

Rated just 41 with 28/1 odds and a poor form reading of 36-029 makes Popeye Doyle a very unconvincing runner.

Jesmond Dawn

Age 5 · 9-4

0-7235

Oisin Orr 14%

Grant Tuer 13%

9-4

9/2 7/2 9/2

Finished 3 lengths back at Beverley last time off this exact mark, keeping on with credit; back out just three days later with the trainer in good form, and he handles this trip on a sound surface — the quick reappearance is the one question but he is capable of going well again.

AI verdict

Carrying 9-4 with a Saturday Rating of 65 and patchy form of 0-7235 at 9/2 makes Jesmond Dawn an unconvincing each-way proposition.

Hopeful Joy

Age 4 · 9-4

423-79

Jack Garritty 11%

Mark Walford 11%

9-4

20/1 14/1 20/1

Disappointed at Pontefract last time, finishing well down the field in conditions that clearly didn't suit; 45 days have since passed and she handles the trip on a sound surface, but the trainer is in a quiet spell and she needs to find significant improvement to get involved here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 45 combined with poor recent form of 423-79 and 20/1 odds make Hopeful Joy a clear outsider.

Precious Spartan

Age 4 · 9-3

4973-9

Rowan Scott 11%

Patrick Neville 19%

9-3

5/1 9/2 5/1

Starts here after 89 days off the track and must put a poor run at Catterick behind him, where he was slowly away and never in contention; he handles today's trip and going and at his best is competitive at this level, though the layoff leaves a question mark.

AI verdict

Rated 67 with inconsistent form (4973-9) and carrying 9-3 at 5/1 suggests a mid-tier contender lacking recent winning evidence.

Volenti

Age 7 · 8-4

097443

Cam Hardie 6%

Ben Haslam 14%

8-4

11/1 9/1 11/1

Third in his most recent outing at Redcar, going down by 4 lengths in a handicap and keeping to his form level; he handles today's trip and going on a variety of surfaces, but our figures place him as the outsider of the field and he needs the principals to underperform.

AI verdict

Low Saturday Rating of 49, weak 097443 form, and 11/1 market dismissal make Volenti an unconvincing each-way prospect.

15/8 FCST 32/17

Shaped with credit at Pontefract last time, just beaten a length at this mark, and with two wins from his last five outings he arrives in good order; handles both sides of the trip and acts on today's going — the one to beat here.

AI verdict

Goyard's solid Saturday Rating of 84 and fair 15/8 odds are offset by top weight 10-2 and inconsistent form 1185-3.

13/2 FCST 6/1

Disappointing in recent starts, finishing out of the places in his last two outings and again well below his best last time; a first-time visor is the stable's response and conditions suit, but a meaningful step forward is needed if he is to feature at these odds.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-0 with poor recent form (7-0100) and a modest Saturday Rating of 75 makes 13/2 unappealing.

10/3 11/2 3/1

Held his form at Hamilton last time, going down by just 1½ lengths off a mark a pound higher than today's, and he handles this trip on any surface; inconsistency and a yard in a lean spell are the concerns, but at his best he is a genuine player here.

AI verdict

Recent form of 852046 and a Saturday Rating of 76 limit confidence despite fair odds of 10/3.

Vince L'Amour

Age 5 · 9-9

810067

David Allan 13%

Tim Easterby 11%

9-9

22/1 16/1 18/1

First-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces are fitted as connections seek a turnaround after a poor display last time, now racing off a lower mark; he can front-run effectively and handles today's trip and going, while the jockey-trainer combination at this track has a fine record — improvement in focus could pay dividends.

AI verdict

Vince L'Amour's weak form of 810067, lowly Saturday Rating of 53, and 22/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects.

13/2 5/1 6/1

Won at Catterick last time, staying on strongly to land a handicap by 1½ lengths with something to spare off a 5lb lower mark; he steps up in grade here but handles today's conditions and trip well and looks ready to run another sound race.

AI verdict

Solid recent form (945331) and a competitive Saturday Rating of 75 are undermined by 9-7 weight and 13/2 odds suggesting limited market confidence.

13/2 4/1 6/1

Won here last time, showing real determination to land a handicap by 1½ lengths off a mark 6lb below today's; he thrives at 5f on a sound surface and arrives in good heart, though the handicapper's response puts him up a tough notch.

AI verdict

Recent form of 3-9131 shows promise, but 9-6 weight and 13/2 odds suggest the market sees limitations at a Saturday Rating of 76.

Mark's Choice

14/1 10/1 14/1

Holds a fine record at this track and finished 2 lengths back in fourth here last time off a mark a pound higher; dropping to shorter today could be a positive and first-time cheekpieces may sharpen him — he handles any going and is worth keeping onside.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 65 and weak 1-0624 form make 14/1 odds and 9-3 weight impossible to justify.

Disappointed last time, finishing fifth beaten 6 lengths off a mark only a pound below today's despite looking to travel well early; first-time cheekpieces are fitted and the trainer has a fine record at this course, but she may need easier ground and the mark still asks more.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 69 and 10/1 odds suggest the market lacks confidence despite her consistent recent form.

Out of her depth most recently, finishing well adrift in a handicap, and form over her last handful of starts has been largely disappointing; her mark has been easing and she handles this trip on a sound surface, but she faces a stiff task against these rivals.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 40 and 40/1 odds reflect poor recent form of 000749 at 8-9 weight.

9-9

6/1 5/1 11/2

Picaro has run with promise in recent outings and ranks second on our figures, with conditions today expected to suit him better than the soft ground at Yarmouth where he struggled to see out the trip last time; first-time cheekpieces add a freshening angle.

AI verdict

Picaro's low Saturday Rating of 56, uninspiring 4494 form, and 9-9 weight burden justify a weak 2/5 rating at 6/1.

Topping our figures, Vietnorm has won his last two starts and looks the one to beat here; the step up to 12f on good ground is expected to suit and he handles today's conditions well, though earlier form shows some inconsistency.

AI verdict

Vietnorm's poor Saturday Rating of 49 and heavy weight of 9-5 offset its strong recent form of 696-11 despite even-money odds.

Fairydale

28/1 FCST 25/1

Fairydale has form on today's ground and adds first-time blinkers alongside a potent jockey/trainer pairing at this track, making her a genuine threat; her most recent effort on soft was unrepresentative and she is likely to respond better on this surface.

AI verdict

Fairydale's 28/1 odds, poor 55-638 form, and low Saturday Rating of 30 make this a weak outsider.

Tom Marquand 16%

Third on our figures, Keep It Classic handles today's distance and going well and adds a tongue-tie for the first time alongside a significant jockey booking; he was beaten just 5 lengths at Wolverhampton last time and his effort there leaves him with a clear chance.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 59, inconsistent form (-95264), and 9-1 weight combine to justify the 2/5 rating despite 7/2 odds.

Resdev Time handles today's ground and performed to her level at Beverley last time, beaten three lengths off a mark 2lb higher than she carries today, with first-time cheekpieces now added; she seems fairly exposed at this level and needs to find a bit more.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 50, inconsistent form of 5-5563, and 15/2 odds signal limited winning prospects here.

Hansteen

Age 3 · 8-13

Jason Hart 14%

12/1 11/1 12/1

Back from a break of 89 days, Hansteen ran well below his best at Catterick most recently, appearing too free through the race; the significant step up in distance now handicapping plays to his breeding, but our figures place him among the outsiders.

AI verdict

Hansteen's poor form of 68-0, low Saturday Rating of 44, and 12/1 odds signal little market confidence.

Star Of Emerald

Age 3 · 8-11

Rowan Scott 11%

18/1 16/1 18/1

Eighth on our figures, Star Of Emerald was well held at Ayr last time when trying a visor and now switches to first-time blinkers in search of improvement; the headgear change is his main positive but he needs considerably more to feature here.

AI verdict

Weak Saturday Rating of 36, poor recent form of 74647, and dismissed 18/1 outsider by the market justify the lowest possible rating.

Riddikulus

Age 3 · 8-9

6-6444

Rhys Elliott 7%

Grant Tuer 13%

14/1 12/1 14/1

Sixth on our figures, Riddikulus has shown consistency without getting her head in front and now adds first-time blinkers for a trainer currently in form; she failed to see out the extra distance on soft last time but drops back to a more suitable trip on better ground today.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 14/1, a poor Saturday Rating of 39, and uninspiring form figures of 6-6444 make Riddikulus a weak selection.

Third at Ayr on his most recent start and now making his handicap debut, Brash arrives with scope on better ground and ranks second on our figures; his record shows effectiveness at 6f though his ability to quicken over the closing stages is the main question.

Brash carries top weight of 9-9 with a moderate Saturday Rating of 63 and uninspiring form of 773 at 5/1.

Hvar has landed once in his last five starts but was well beaten at Thirsk on his most recent outing and is generally most effective on artificial surfaces; today's ground and trip are within his compass but better form is needed to threaten.

AI verdict

Hvar's Saturday Rating of 47, poor recent form (1-0070), and 16/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects.

Tie Fighter

Age 3 · 9-9

Third on our figures, Tie Fighter has shown himself effective at today's trip and going, carries a significant jockey booking, and retains blinkers; he stepped in the right direction last time on a higher mark and makes his case firmly as a leading danger.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-9 with inconsistent form 24-474 and a modest Saturday Rating of 63 limits Tie Fighter's appeal at 9/2.

Absent for over 300 days and returning from a lengthy break, Mare Of London holds 6f form and handles today's ground; she has shown reasonable consistency in her starts and is generally effective at this distance, though fitness after such a prolonged absence must be the key concern.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 59, weak 35256- form, and 17/2 odds signal limited winning prospects under 9-6.

Lamlash Bay

Age 3 · 9-6

04-45

Lewis Chalkley 8%

Michael & David Easterby 10%

9-6

7/1 10/1 7/1

Ninth on our figures, Lamlash Bay handles today's conditions and was below his best at Doncaster last time on a marginally higher mark than today; there is enough to suggest he is capable of better, though he remains hard to recommend at present.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-6 with weak 04-45 form and a Saturday Rating of just 61 makes 7/1 unconvincing.

Soul Warrior

Age 3 · 9-3

881-80

Alex Jary 9%

Nigel Tinkler 11%

9-3

12/1

Soul Warrior has landed once in his last five starts and handles today's trip and going, but was beaten over 8 lengths at Doncaster last time when trying a hood and needs to reproduce his better form; he is placed seventh on our figures and significant improvement is required.

AI verdict

Low Saturday Rating of 56, poor form figures of 881-80, and weak 12/1 odds combine to justify just 2 stars.

Northern Tempest

Age 3 · 9-0

-08346

Rhys Elliott 7%

Michael Dods 12%

9-0

13/2 11/2 13/2

Topping our figures and proven at today's conditions, Northern Tempest had excuses last time having been denied a clear run at Redcar; the first-time tongue-tie is a positive and his connections have a strong record in this race, though his tendency to be unreliable in running remains a concern.

AI verdict

Weak form (-08346) and a low Saturday Rating of 59 undermine Northern Tempest's 13/2 market position at 9-0.

Havana Oaks

Age 3 · 8-13

55-6

Barry McHugh 9%

Ivan Furtado 10%

8-13

25/1 20/1 25/1

Bred for sprint distances and making her handicap debut here, Havana Oaks has been consistent without threatening and posted a familiar-looking effort at Catterick last time; she is eighth on our figures and needs a step forward to play any role.

AI verdict

Havana Oaks rates poorly with a Saturday Rating of just 33, weak 55-6 form, and 25/1 odds reflecting minimal market confidence.

Long Shot

Age 3 · 8-10

-38242

David Allan 13%

Tim Easterby 11%

8-10

15/8 3/2 7/4

Consistent and proven at today's trip and going, Long Shot has posted two runner-up efforts in his last five starts and retains cheekpieces; a strong jockey/trainer pairing at this course and the yard's good record in this race boost his claims, though he is yet to score.

AI verdict

Moderate Saturday Rating of 65 and inconsistent form (-38242) limit confidence despite fair 15/8 odds.
