Sandret

Age 10 · 11-5

21-688

Liam Baxter 0%

Sam England 15%

11-5

12/1 10/1 12/1

Sandret has winning form in his recent starts — a winner four starts back and a second five starts back — but back-to-back eighths in his last two outings are a concern; he has run over today's trip and going, and arrives fit enough on 31 days' rest carrying 159 lb from stall 10.

AI verdict

SR 50 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 12/1.

Tees George

Age 6 · 11-2

843424

Mr Jack Lander 16%

Adrian Nicholls 13%

11-2

9/2 5/1 9/2

Tees George has been a model of consistency without a win, posting two placings in his last six starts, and he has run over today's trip and going before; the 156 lb burden is the chief concern for a gelding rated just 59.

AI verdict

SR 59 suggests ability but 5/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Deep Sleep

Age 3 · 11-1

4-0447

Miss Ruby Criscuolo 17%

James Owen 18%

11-1

9/2 7/2 9/2

Deep Sleep has shown consistent placing ability with three fourths in his last five starts, and has experience of today's trip and conditions; carrying 155 lb from stall nine is the concern for a gelding yet to score, though he shapes as a serious threat here.

AI verdict

SR 59 suggests ability but 9/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Tropez Power

Age 7 · 11-0

-68896

Miss Alice Cooke 0%

Mark Walford 11%

11-0

10/1 12/1 17/2

Tropez Power has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating gives him a slim but genuine edge on this card, but he arrives winless in his last five starts and must show more than a run of mid-to-rear finishes suggests he currently can.

AI verdict

SR 41 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 16/1.

Hatamoto

Age 3 · 10-13

721162

Miss Rebecca Burley 45%

Tim Easterby 11%

10-13

4/1 11/4 7/2

Hatamoto ran a fine second last time out and has winning form in his last six starts, with experience over today's trip and conditions working in his favour at draw one carrying 153 lb — the chief concern is a trainer currently among the most out-of-form in recent weeks.

AI verdict

SR 70 suggests ability but 7/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Calaxy

Age 4 · 10-12

084-69

Mr Jack Loughnane 0%

Mark Loughnane 10%

10-12

28/1 FCST 25/1

Winless in her last five starts and returning from a 198-day absence, Calaxy faces a stiff ask here, though she has run over today's trip and going before and a fourth three starts back suggests some ability worth noting.

AI verdict

SR 29 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 28/1.

Jungle Knight

Age 3 · 10-11

7-7614

Mr Harry Rimell 0%

Mark Rimell 12%

10-11

7/1 11/2 7/1

Jungle Knight lands a win two starts back and has experience of both today's trip and going, with our rating putting him ahead of his official mark — the main concern is whether 57 days off the track has left him short of peak fitness.

AI verdict

SR 58 suggests ability but 7/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Suzette

Age 4 · 10-10

6537-0

Mr William Pearman 14%

Tony Coyle & Kaine Wood 8%

10-10

22/1 18/1 22/1

Winless in her last five starts, Suzette at least brings distance and going experience to the table, but an unplaced effort last time and a weight of 150 lb are negatives to weigh against a our rating of 61 that suggests she retains some ability.

AI verdict

SR 30 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 28/1.

Misemerald

Age 5 · 10-9

234231

Miss Natasha Cookson 3%

Philip Kirby 8%

10-9

9/2

Ranked ninth of eleven on our figures, Misemerald makes a quick reappearance just four days after her latest win, though that effort aside she has largely filled minor roles in recent starts, and 149 lb is a stiff burden to overcome at this level.

AI verdict

SR 59 suggests ability but 9/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Dandy's Angel

Age 9 · 10-4

9-8036

Mr Freddie Robson 8%

John Wainwright 10%

10-4

20/1 14/1 20/1

Winless in her last five starts and ranked last on our figures, Dandy's Angel faces a stiff task here, though a return to today's distance and going at least offers some familiarity after 73 days off.

AI verdict

SR 33 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 20/1.

Harswell River

Age 3 · 9-11

Miss Sophie Dobson 12%

Roger Fell 12%

9-11

14/1 8/1 14/1

Winless in her last six starts and ranked tenth of eleven on our figures, Harswell River faces a stiff task at 137 lb from stall 8, though a second three starts back and experience over today's trip and going offer slim encouragement.

AI verdict

SR 43 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

14/1 17/2 14/1

Durham Castle showed a smart turn of foot when winning three starts back, but back-to-back sixth and fifth placings since suggest he's found things tough, and a 74-day absence adds a fitness query; he has run over today's trip and going, and a trainer striking at 30% offers encouragement.

Veblen Good arrives here in good nick off a 12-day turnaround, and his third three starts back and his victory six starts back underline a profile that our rating of 99 ranks narrowly top of this 19-runner field; the burden of 139 lb from stall 13 is the one note of caution.

Yet to win in his last six starts, Yes I'm Mali does offer some encouragement with two seconds in that sequence, and he has experience over today's trip and conditions; however, a fifth last time out and 132 lb to carry are both against him here.

Winless in his last five starts, Eye Of Dubai nevertheless catches the eye on our rating of 98 — well clear of his official mark — and he returns fit on 13 days' rest with experience of today's trip and going; the worry is that his recent finishes offer little to cling to.

Invictus Gold has run over today's trip and going, carries a workable 139 lb from stall 2, and our rating of 101 marks him out as a leading threat in this field — though he is winless in his last five starts, including an unplaced effort last time, and that inconsistency is the chief concern.

AI verdict

SR 86 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Northern Express shaped as the one to beat here, winning two starts back and recording a placed effort last time out, and he has experience of both today's trip and conditions; the 138 lb burden is the one query, but his rating of 105 marks him out as the class act in a field of 14.

He's A Monster arrives on the back of a win last time out and has experience over today's trip and conditions, with an official rating of 97; the one concern is that 369-day absence, which must be overcome fresh.

Winless in his last five starts, Bobby Bennu does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, and a second two runs back hints at some ability; however, he has struggled for consistency and faces a stiff task from a mark of 94 carrying 135 lb.

Winless in his last six starts, Mirsky arrives on a quick turnaround of eight days and has run over today's trip and going before, yet a sequence of three consecutive ninths is hard to overlook; carrying 133 lb from stall five, he looks a hard-to-fancy midfield proposition.

Third three starts back and a winner four starts back, Superposition arrives here fit on a 30-day turnaround with distance and going experience to call on, though a ninth last time out and carrying 132 lb from stall 6 are points against him.

Winless in his last five starts and returning after 62 days off, Sergeant Wilko faces questions about fitness and consistency, though he has run over today's distance and going before and a rating of 93 offers some encouragement — a trainer in poor recent form (1/28) adds further concern.

Ranked 11 of 14 on our figures, Alpha Capture is hard to fancy against this field despite a tidy recent profile of three seconds in his last four completed starts; he has run over today's trip and going before, but the weight of 125 lb from stall 12 adds no help to his cause.

Winless in her last six starts, Perfect Part does at least return quickly on eight days' rest and has experience of today's distance and going; a second four starts back offers some encouragement, though fifth last time out and a weight of 124 lb from stall 13 make this a tough ask.

Majestic Dane shaped well enough in his last two starts, winning one and finishing second the other, and he has run over today's trip before, but a 190-day absence and a rating of 67 — ranking him last of 14 — make him very hard to fancy here.

Frankies Dream has been winless in his last six starts, finishing eighth in each of his past two outings, and ranked thirteenth of fourteen on our figures he faces a stiff task here; experience over today's trip and going is genuinely in his favour, but little else encourages.

Talismans Time shaped with promise when third three starts back and returns here on a retrieval mission just 17 days later, having run over today's trip and going before; the main concern is that he remains winless in recent starts and must bounce back from two below-par efforts.

Mick Collins bolsters his claims with a win two starts back and goes on today's going, while our rating of 90 puts him clear at the head of this field; the concern is that seventh last time out leaves him needing to bounce back sharply.
