9-12
15/2 4/1 6/1
Winless in his last five starts, Protest Rally nonetheless catches the eye as the top-rated runner here, carrying 138 lb from stall seven on a surface and trip he has experience of, and a return 18 days on from his latest fifth is straightforward enough.
AI verdict

SR 58 suggests ability but 11/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

10/3 32/17 11/4
Boasting three wins in his last six starts, including victory on his latest outing, Let's Go Hugo arrives in fine fettle just 16 days on from his latest success, with experience of today's distance and going in his favour; however, a hefty 135 lb and our rating of 57 suggest he may find conditions tough against stronger company.
AI verdict

SR 68 suggests ability but 3/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

7/2 9/2 11/4
Winless in his last six starts, Sam's Xpress at least has experience of today's trip and conditions and comes here fresh on 27 days' rest, but his persistent tendency to finish in the rear half of the field is the significant concern.
AI verdict

SR 56 suggests ability but 5/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

9-4
16/1 11/1 16/1
Winless in his last six, Popular Dream nevertheless holds a speed rating of 70 that suggests more ability than his finishing positions imply, and he has experience over today's trip and conditions; the 128-day absence is the key risk.
AI verdict

SR 46 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 14/1.

13/2 7/1 11/2
Winless in her last five starts, Torfrida nonetheless catches the eye on our rating of 68 — well clear of her official mark — and she has run over today's trip and going before, with draw three and a return after 41 days; the risk is that her recent finishes make confidence hard to sustain.
AI verdict

SR 59 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

9-2
50/1 20/1 28/1
Crypto Quest showed promise with a second and a third in recent starts, but has gone winless in his last five and heads here with a trainer in the midst of a difficult spell; the experience over today's trip and going offers some consolation, though he faces a stiff ask.
AI verdict

SR 34 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 40/1.

9-2
7/1 13/2 6/1
Tomarlo faces a stiff ask from stall one carrying 128 lb, and consecutive finishes of fifth and seventh in his last two starts do little to inspire confidence; a win three starts back offers a flicker of hope, and he does have experience over today's distance and going.
AI verdict

SR 56 suggests ability but 15/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in her last five starts and ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Hellcat faces a stiff task, though she has run over today's distance and going before and returns from a 33-day break in reasonable order from stall two carrying 124 lb.
AI verdict

Winless in her last six starts, Mimime has been runner-up twice in recent outings and has experience over today's trip and going, but ranked eighth of nine on our figures she faces a stiff task from stall five carrying 118 lb off an official mark of 45.
AI verdict

10-0
33/1 16/1 33/1
Layla Liz has run over today's trip and going, and a win four starts back shows she can find the line, but three poor efforts since — including eighth last time out — make her current form hard to trust despite carrying 140 lb from stall 3 on a quick 14-day turnaround.
AI verdict

Ziggy's Triton landed a win four starts back and has experience over today's trip and conditions, with a 93 rating that marks him as the top-ranked runner in the field; the risk is that his last three outings have all disappointed.
AI verdict

SR 91 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Bassenthwaite has managed just one win in his last five starts, with two unplaced efforts in his most recent outings, and he ranks eighth of ten on our figures; he has run over today's distance and going before, but at 63 days between runs he faces questions on freshness too.

Spring Is Sprung has shown consistent placing ability in recent starts, finishing third last time out and second three starts back, and he has experience of today's trip and going; the main risk is that he remains yet to win in his last six starts.
AI verdict

SR 90 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Tees Spirit has run over today's trip and conditions before, and his rating of 91 puts him right in contention from stall six, but winless in his last five starts and returning after a year off the track, he faces a stiff ask to hit form immediately.
AI verdict

SR 60 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 33/1.

Paddy's Day arrives on the back of a sixth last time out and remains winless in his last six starts, though a third three starts back shows he can hit the frame; distance and going experience help, but consistency is the concern here at 135 lb from stall four.

Noble Vow landed back-to-back wins four and five starts back, and with experience over today's trip and going, the conditions suit; three unplaced efforts since give slight pause, but he returns quickly at just seven days and the 132 lb burden is manageable for a gelding rated 88 on our figures.

14/1 9/1 14/1
Fidelius shaped with promise when second two starts back and has run over today's distance and going, giving him a solid profile at 140 lb from stall 8, yet his winless recent run of six starts is the concern.

18/1 8/1 11/1
Michaela's Boy won four starts back but has struggled since, finishing fifth last time out and eighth three starts back, so consistency is the concern; he has run over today's distance and going before, and 14 days since his last outing suggests he arrives fresh enough from stall one carrying 137 lb.

7/1 5/1 7/1
Right And Exact won two of his last five starts, with back-to-back victories two and three runs back, and he has experience of both today's trip and going; carrying 137 lb from stall five, the chief concern is whether a 63-day absence has left him short of peak fitness.

10/1 9/2 10/1
Moulin Booj won two starts back and was second three starts back, showing he can mix it at this level, but a fifth last time out after a 43-day break and 137 lb to carry are the checks on his claims, though he has run over today's trip and going.

6/4 9/4 6/5
Ranked seventh of nine on our figures, Hypnotised makes it hard to build a case, though he arrives in decent nick with consecutive placed efforts and a third last time out; his one win in recent starts came five starts back, and he has run over today's trip before.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 9-9 gives a real edge in this handicap.

9/2 15/2 10/3
Winless in his last six starts, Canon's House nevertheless catches the eye ranked second of nine on our figures, with experience of today's trip and conditions working in his favour from stall four; the main risk is a trainer whose string is out of form at just 4% over the past fortnight.

True Promise has managed just one win in his last six starts, and ranked eighth of nine on our figures he faces a stiff ask, though he has run over today's distance and going before and returns on a manageable 20-day break.

Patrol has been a model of consistency in recent starts, finishing third last time out and second two starts back, and he has experience of today's trip and conditions. Carrying 140 lb, he remains winless in his last six starts, but his rating of 86 marks him as the one to beat here.

Flightofthephoenix showed sharp form when winning back-to-back two and three starts back, but her last outing was a disappointing sixth, and 138 lb is no gimme; has run over today's trip and going, which at least removes two unknowns.

25/1 14/1 16/1
Dream Harder won three starts back and returns on a quick enough turnaround of 22 days, bringing both distance and going experience to the table; the risk is that his last two outings — fourth and then seventh — suggest he needs to recapture that earlier spark.

Madjid arrives on the back of back-to-back wins, and a runner-up effort last time out keeps him in fine fettle after 24 days off; he has run over today's trip and going before, and 133 lb is the chief weight to overcome.

Roker Roar has been consistently placed — second two starts back and third three starts back — yet remains yet to win in his last five starts, and while he has run over today's trip and going before, 131 lb is a stern burden for a horse rated 73 officially.

Winless in her last six starts, Molo Del Palazzo nonetheless showed a second four starts back and a third five starts back, suggesting she retains the ability to get competitive; back quickly after just 15 days and with going experience in her favour, the risk is that her latest seventh suggests current form may be patchy.

Dandy G Boy shaped with plenty of promise when second two starts back, and he arrives in good order just 17 days on from that effort, with experience over today's distance and going working in his favour; winless in his last five starts, but his rating of 72 marks him as the one to beat from stall 3.

Packetofbiscuits showed up well with a second last time out, though four of his other five recent starts have been less convincing, leaving him winless in that span; he has run over today's trip and going, and 138 lb from stall two keeps him squarely in contention on a quick enough turnaround.

Thapa VC has run over today's trip and going, and back-to-back wins four and five starts back hint at ability, but three successive finishes of seventh, sixth and eighth in recent starts are a concern, and a return just two days ago makes the current level of freshness questionable.

Mystical Storm has shown he can get competitive, finishing third last time out, and has run over today's trip, while our rating of 77 marks him as a leading danger in this field; the chief concern is a trainer in the grip of a winless run and 104 days between runs.
