9-9
13/2 7/2 13/2
Empire Rising arrives on the back of a win last time out and has experience over today's trip, making him a clear danger here; the main risk is that four of his last five starts have yielded only that single victory, so consistency remains the question.
AI verdict

SR 71 suggests ability but 5/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

11/4 10/3 9/4
Consistently placed in recent starts, Love Tanya has finished second, second, and third in her last three outings and has run over today's trip, making her the one to keep on side. She carries 134 lb from stall one and, although yet to score, her rating of 84 marks her as the class act here.
AI verdict

SR 78 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

9-7
11/4 11/4 5/2
Returned to winning ways last time out, though he was sixth three starts back and only third two starts back suggests some inconsistency; has run over today's trip and comes here fit enough on 30 days' rest, but his official rating of 72 leaves little room for error from stall 7.

9/2 9/2 4/1
Winless in his last two starts, Coco Nova ranks seventh of nine on our figures and looks hard to fancy at the weights, carrying 131 lb from stall six; a third last time out and experience over today's trip offer slim encouragement.
AI verdict

SR 66 suggests ability but 11/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

10/1 10/1 9/1
Winless in his last three starts and beaten some way on each occasion, Akaraka at least has experience over today's trip and arrives freshened after 40 days off, with our rating suggesting he holds more ability than his official mark of 70 implies — the worry is his recent form offers little encouragement.
AI verdict

SR 59 suggests ability but 11/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

28/1 12/1 25/1
Yet to score in his last five starts, Or Another arrives here on a quick nine-day turnaround with a third two runs back offering some encouragement, though a seventh three starts back and 130 lb to carry are the challenges he must overcome.
AI verdict

SR 47 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 20/1.

15/2 11/2 7/1
Prince Kameo won last time out and returns on a quick nine-day turnaround with a trainer striking at 35%, but ranked eighth of nine on our figures and carrying 130 lb, he looks up against it despite having run over today's trip before.
AI verdict

SR 65 suggests ability but 7/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

22/1 12/1 22/1
Sou'wester has run over today's trip and going and our rating puts him as a leading threat in this field, yet he arrives 86 days since his last start and has been winless in his last three runs, so the key question is whether he returns to form sharply enough here.
AI verdict

SR 56 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 16/1.

Winless in her last three starts and ranked bottom of this field on our figures, Northern Viola also returns from a 64-day absence, making her hard to fancy; she has run over today's trip before and carries 116 lb from stall eight.
AI verdict

9-9
4/1 13/2 3/1
Princesse d'Orange caught the eye with a win in her last five starts and arrives fit enough on 38 days since her last run, with experience over today's trip and going; the concern is her two most recent outings have been disappointing, including a ninth last time out.
AI verdict

22/1 11/1 20/1
Savage Mariner ran second four starts back and arrives here with experience over today's trip, a solid weight-carrier at 135 lb from stall one, and a rating of 86 suggesting he retains ability — the concern is three unplaced efforts in his last three outings leave him winless in recent starts.
AI verdict

SR 65 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 16/1.

Anchiano won two starts back and placed since, and our rating of 70 ranks him last of nine here, making him hard to fancy despite the distance experience and a placed effort 44 days ago.

Ranked seventh of nine on our figures and saddled by a trainer firing at just four per cent over the past fortnight, This Moment is hard to fancy despite a win last time out; he has run over today's trip and carries 135 lb from stall three.

8/1 9/2 15/2
Black Velvet Boy arrives on the back of back-to-back wins, though a third three starts back and a seventh four starts back temper expectations a touch; he has run over today's trip and steps up 19 days fresh, but 132 lb from stall 8 is no small ask.
AI verdict

SR 85 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

6/1 8/1 11/2
Furturra catches the eye on fitness, returning just nine days after his last start, and his experience over today's trip and going gives him every right to feature; from stall two carrying 129 lb, the concern is a run of five starts without a win.
AI verdict

SR 82 suggests ability but 7/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

11/1 13/2 8/1
Winless in his last five starts, Casino Star has been placed three times in that span but also beaten out of the frame on other occasions, making him hard to fancy ranked eighth of nine on our figures; he does at least return after just 16 days and has run over today's trip and going before.

7/2 9/2 10/3
Concert Pitch arrives on the back of a win last time out and has shown consistent placing in recent starts, with seconds two, three and four starts back, and he has experience of today's trip and going; however, a trainer strike-rate of just 5% over the past fortnight is a notable dampener.
AI verdict

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

9/4 FCST 2/1
Oolong Poobong shaped with promise when third last time out, returning here in good order after just 16 days, and she has experience of both today's trip and conditions; the concern is whether she can rediscover the form that saw her a winner five starts back, with 140 lb to shoulder today.

Perfect Part shaped with promise when second four starts back and arrives on the back of a 16-day break in solid enough condition, with experience over today's trip and going lending her claims; the concern is a trainer firing at just 5% in the past fortnight, and she remains winless in her last six starts.

15/2 FCST 6/1
Knightsail shaped with promise when third three starts back, but has been below that level since, and winless in his last four outings; returning after 43 days off carrying 128 lb, he needs to find a gear here to threaten the principals.
AI verdict

SR 72 suggests ability but 15/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Mr Bollinger is hard to fancy despite a win two starts back and a runner-up finish last time out; he has experience of today's distance and going, but a speed rating of 66 makes improvement to competitive level a tall order.

Kosometsuke won four starts back but has since posted a fifth, eighth, and fourth in his last three, and at 81 days off the track he arrives short of recent match practice; he has run over today's trip and carries 137 lb from stall two.

Misunderstood has been knocking at the door, finishing second last time out after a string of near-misses, and he has experience over today's trip and conditions; carrying 135 lb from stall six is the chief concern for a gelding yet to win in his last six starts.
AI verdict

SR 79 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Andesite has been placed three times in his last six starts, including back-to-back seconds four and five starts back, and he has experience of today's trip and conditions; the main risk is his last two outings have yielded only a fifth and seventh.

66/1 25/1 66/1
Mythical Phoenix has experience of today's trip and conditions, and our rating of 81 suggests he holds more ability than his official mark of 77 implies; winless in his last five starts, though, and that persistent lack of a finish is the concern.
AI verdict

SR 45 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 40/1.

11/2 6/1 5/1
Frankies Dream has been winless in his last six starts, though a third four starts back and a second five starts back hint at better days, and he arrives here on a fresher 28-day break having run over today's trip before; three consecutive finishes outside the top six make the turnaround he needs hard to envisage from stall 3 off 132 lb.
AI verdict

SR 72 suggests ability but 6/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last six starts, Intrusively at least has experience of today's trip and conditions in his favour, though a ninth last time out — 35 days ago — is hard to ignore, and carrying 127 lb from stall seven makes a significant step forward necessary.
AI verdict

SR 59 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 16/1.

Native Honey is ranked ninth of nine on our figures, and consecutive fifths in his last two starts make him hard to fancy, though he has run over today's trip and going before and returns on a reasonable 29-day break.

Good Karma has managed just one win in his last six starts, and his speed rating of 59 leaves him well below the level needed here; ranked last on our figures, he is hard to fancy, though he has run over today's trip and going and faces a 19-day turnaround in reasonable freshness.
AI verdict

SR 54 suggests ability but 18/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

33/1 12/1 28/1
Stanley Spencer shaped with plenty of promise when second two starts back, and his experience over today's trip and going, combined with a rating of 85 that ranks him among the chief dangers, makes him a serious threat; the risk is that he comes into this yet to win in recent starts.
AI verdict

SR 56 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 28/1.

Obelix posted a win five starts back and arrives here fit on 24 days' rest, with experience over today's trip and our rating placing him at the head of this nine-runner field; the worry is that he has managed just one victory in his last six starts.

Capital Guarantee won three starts back but has finished sixth in two outings since, suggesting he blows hot and cold; he has run over today's distance and going, carries 133 lb from stall eight, and 21 days between runs leaves fitness an open question.

Midnight Strike shaped well when third last time out, and a winner three starts back, he arrives in decent nick after 34 days off with experience of today's trip and going to call on; the risk is that he has been in and out of form in recent starts.

Winner three starts back, Mr King returns on a quick 14-day turnaround carrying 132 lb from stall one, with experience over today's trip an asset; the fifth last time out leaves something to prove, but he shaped well enough to hold interest at his best.

Imperial Guard has winning form in recent starts — a winner three runs back and two wins before that — but his unplaced effort last time out is an obvious concern, and ranked last on our figures he faces a stiff ask at 130 lb here despite having experience over today's distance and going.

Packetofbiscuits has struggled badly in recent starts, finishing eighth last time out and seventh the time before, and he ranks eighth of nine on our figures here, making him hard to fancy despite carrying a manageable 127 lb and having experience over today's trip and going.

Winless in his last six starts and ranked seventh of nine on our figures, Fiscal Policy is hard to fancy despite a third last time out and experience over today's trip; the trainer's current 4% strike rate over the past 14 days adds little encouragement.

Winless in his last six starts, Nyman does at least bring distance and going experience to the table and returns on a reasonable 21-day break, but a ninth last time out is hard to ignore for a gelding carrying 125 lb from stall 3.
