Sony Bill

804-54

Harry Cobden 22%

11-10

5/1 4/1 5/1

New connections could unlock better from Sony Bill, below his best on chase debut after a string of fencing errors at Ballinrobe — fading in the closing stages; a useful hurdler who thrives when the ground yields, he has the ability to progress over the bigger obstacles, though the mark is stiff enough.

AI verdict

Form figures of 804-54 and a mid-range Saturday Rating of 130 suggest Sony Bill is competitive at 9/2 but not the market's standout at 11-10.

11/8 3/2 6/5

Won here by three lengths two starts back and followed up with a solid second last time off the same mark he carries today; in fair form with a trainer at 36% and dual headgear applied for the first time — well within his compass at 2.5m and a genuine threat.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 136 paired with improving form (533-12) and accessible 6/4 odds makes Pony Soprano a strong-value selection at 10-8.

10-7

6/5 10/11 11/10

Won by 16 lengths on chase debut at Stratford last time off a mark 8lb lower than today's; with his fencing career still in its early stages and suited by 2.5m on good ground, he arrives as the most unexposed runner here and rates the chief danger to the top-rated horse.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-7 as a non-favourite at evens, Tamarind Bay's mixed form of 2323-1 limits confidence despite a Saturday Rating of 113.

4/6 9/17 8/13

Progressive hurdler who stepped up in trip last time and ran out an 8-length winner, looking like a horse still very much on the upgrade; the distance and going are well within his compass. The weight he concedes in this small field is the only concern.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 159 backs consistent recent form (34-411) at competitive 8/13 odds carrying 11-12.

10/1 9/1 10/1

Dominated his hunter chase debut at Punchestown by 11 lengths last time, showing very useful form; a lightly raced point winner now switching to hurdles for a new yard, with market support likely the key indicator. The distance suits, and this type often has more to offer than the bare figures show.

AI verdict

Jetbob's decent 144 Saturday Rating and recent form win are offset by 11/1 odds suggesting limited market confidence.

40/1 28/1 40/1

Lightly raced but rated last of the five on our figures, with a well-beaten effort at Hereford in a bumper most recently; a 215-day absence adds uncertainty, and the switch to hurdling over a longer trip should help in theory. This class is a considerable ask at this stage.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 124 with weak 40/1 odds and poor form figures of 30- signal limited winning prospects.

Dual bumper winner who found his range when stretched in trip at Southwell last time, finishing a solid 7-length second in a maiden hurdle; tops our ratings and likely to improve further with experience, the trip and sound going squarely in his favour.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 115 and consistent form figures of 110-32 justify solid 5/2 market confidence despite not heading the market.

Solid in bumpers, finishing second at Southwell last time, and the switch to hurdling should unlock further progress from a lightly raced gelding; the going is established. The trip looks an open question given bumper form over shorter, and first-time tongue-tie is added today.

AI verdict

Rated 148 but inconsistent form of 2-62 and 8/1 odds suggest mid-tier potential without market confidence.

12-0

SP 22/1 16/1

Third at this course on his latest start, Gunsight Ridge has been below his best this season but has slipped down the weights and hinted at a return to form last time; he can be sluggish in his racing, but the first-time tongue-tie may help address that and he handles today's trip and ground well.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 12-0, a 16/1 market outsider with a Saturday Rating of 112 and patchy form of 4476-3 limits confidence.

12/1 7/1 12/1

Two wins in his recent sequence before an extended absence and a run in a Grade 2 last time where he was outclassed on unsuitable ground; returning to handicap company at 2m on good ground is more his sphere, though 225 days off needs overcoming and the current weight could prove stiff.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 125 and consistent form offset by a big 11-11 burden and 9/1 odds suggesting limited market confidence.

Three wins in his last five starts, going boldly at the front and landing a handicap last time by five lengths; today's ground should suit, but the revised mark represents a significant hike from his winning base and dual headgear applied for the first time suggests connections have questions at the current level.

AI verdict

Recent form of 11 and a competitive Saturday Rating of 135 at 13/8 odds make Newtown Rambler a strong each-way proposition.

10/1 6/1 9/1

Second at Fakenham last time under more forward tactics, Coastguard Station is in fair form and handles this trip and ground well; first-time cheekpieces suggest connections are refining his approach, and he is well respected on our figures despite being winless in his last five starts.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 120 and consistent form of 762-42 at 7/1 suggest fair each-way claims without market confidence.

20/1 10/1 18/1

Back in form after a revival at a sharp track last time, Sir Tivo is at his best when allowed to bowl along at 2m on good ground; on the same mark as when beaten 2.5 lengths last time with dual headgear applied for the first time, he is a solid danger — though inconsistency has been a theme.

AI verdict

At 14/1 with a Saturday Rating of 112, Sir Tivo's inconsistent 2P1-42 form and 11-3 weight burden offer little market confidence.

Won by 17 lengths two starts back before a close-up second last time on the same mark he carries today; the trainer is firing at 55% and his underlying chase form marks him out as well treated — the one to beat in this seven-runner field.

AI verdict

Solid 125 Saturday Rating and consistent form (170-12) are offset by 11-3 weight and non-favourite market position at 9/4.

Won at Bangor last time by over four lengths in a race where the leaders set a strong pace, suiting his hold-up style; handles a wide range of trips and ground and arrives in fair form, though our figures place him last of seven and this is a considerably stronger heat.

AI verdict

Consistent form (3223-1) and a competitive 124 Saturday Rating at 7/1 suggest solid claims, offset by a hefty 10-11 weight.

22/1 FCST 20/1

Fourth at Fakenham last time, Hang In There heads our figures and handles today's trip and ground; a fresh campaign alongside a first-time visor makes him the one to beat, though the mark is stiff enough that a sharp performance will be needed.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 12-0 with a weak 1534-4 form and weak 22/1 odds signals limited winning prospects here.

Two wins in his last three starts, including a narrow victory last time under a patient ride that confirmed he stays 2m7f; with the trainer in excellent form and a first-time tongue-tie applied, he is a serious danger here — though the revised mark may be at the ceiling of his ability.

AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 143 combined with consistent form (901-21) and strong 7/2 market position at 11-12 weight justifies confidence.

Two wins earlier in his recent sequence underline his ability when conditions suit, and today's 3m on good ground is right in his range; first-time cheekpieces could sharpen him up after a well-beaten effort at Bangor last time, though the mark may prove a tough ask.

AI verdict

Twig's 14/1 odds and inconsistent 1170-3 form undermine confidence despite a Saturday Rating of 120 and top weight 11-12.

Solid form at shorter trips with two wins in his recent sequence, but outstayed over a longer distance at Bangor last time despite moving through the race with purpose; today's 3m appears near the limits of his stamina on good ground, making this a test, though competitive enough off his current weight.

AI verdict

Rated 116 with 18/1 odds and patchy 1163-2 form, Alien Storm carries 11-0 but lacks market confidence.

A winner at Cartmel last time by over three lengths, Ki Woo is making steady progress over fences and stays well beyond today's trip; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces are a new combination, though the mark is a step up on what he has faced in recent starts.

AI verdict

Recent form showing a win, carrying 10-12 at 4/1 odds, and a strong Saturday Rating of 131 justify four stars.

Back in form with consecutive thirds in his last two starts, Peaky Boy handles any ground and the 2.5-3m range suits him well; first-time headgear may sharpen his response, but he remains winless in his recent runs and the current mark is a steep ask.

AI verdict

Rated 121 with solid recent form (33) but 10/1 odds and 10-12 weight suggest market sees limited winning chance.

Steadily progressive over this trip on fast ground, Hold Your Fort won by over five lengths three starts back before struggling to dictate terms when third last time out; 1lb lower here after a short break, but our figures place him firmly in the outsider bracket.

AI verdict

Odds of 18/1 and a modest Saturday Rating of 112 reflect limited confidence despite solid recent form showing a win and place.

11/4 7/2 11/4

Second by a neck last time off his current mark, Queensbury Boy ranks equal-top on our figures on the back of strong hurdle form; today's 3m tests his stamina limits and jumping over fences has been inconsistent — the main reservation, alongside the first-time tongue-tie.

AI verdict

Recent form showing a win and second, combined with a competitive 4/1 market price and solid 131 Saturday Rating, justify strong 4-star claims.

A front-runner who won at Fakenham two starts back, Time To Bite has been thriving, but he was outstayed last time when used too aggressively; first-time blinkers aim to address that tendency, though our figures rank him last of the 13 runners.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 33/1 and a Saturday Rating of 97 undermine consistent form of 132-13 despite a competitive 10-8 weight.

Three wins in his last five starts including an 18-length success at this track two starts back, Grand Clermont still appears well treated on his combined UK and French form; 2lb higher than when runner-up last time but a first-time tongue-tie and the right conditions give him solid claims.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 122 combined with consistent form (11-612) and fair 15/2 odds justify the 4-star rating despite carrying 10-6.

A useful performer over hurdles now applying that talent to fences, Samuel Spade landed his handicap chase debut at Worcester last time by two and a half lengths; still building his jumping technique and effective at 2.5-3m, he has scope for further progress in this sphere.

AI verdict

Finishing well from the rear at Aintree last time, beaten three lengths, Regarde handles 3m+ on good ground and connections landed this prize last year; blinkers first time may help, but without a win in his last four starts he remains an outsider on our figures.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 117 and consistent form figures of /352-2 are undermined by 12/1 odds suggesting market skepticism.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 115 and 16/1 odds suggest the market lacks confidence despite recent form showing two wins.

Persistent jumping errors and inconsistency make him a difficult proposition, and he burned himself out too soon at Ballinrobe last time. The trip and going pose no problems, but he's ranked bottom of this field on our figures.

Carrying top weight of 12-0 with inconsistent form (0P1P-5) and unfancied at 12/1, Blizzard Of Oz's Saturday Rating of 111 offers little confidence.

Third on our ratings and carrying a mark that flatters on his best form, but inconsistency has been his downfall — a succession of jumping errors at Haydock last time left him well beaten. The trip and ground suit, and he's a threat if he settles and jumps cleanly.

AI verdict

Poor form figures of /37P-0, a 14/1 outsider rating, and a Saturday Rating of 105 make Bold Endeavour unconvincing at 11-7.

Front-runner who thrives when allowed to control his own pace, and he bolted up by 13 lengths at Newton Abbot last time off a reduced mark; still on a manageable figure, with distance and going well established. The step back up in class is the key test.

Front-running style suits this trip and surface, and the mark remains achievable on earlier form, but she pulled up at Cartmel last time; twin headgear changes — first-time blinkers and tongue-tie — signal connections trying a new approach, and she needs to rediscover recent consistency.

Solid Saturday Rating of 114 and consistent placed form offset by a concerning last-run P and 8/1 market position.

Back to form at Worcester last time, winning by 3 lengths off a reduced mark and confirming his stamina for this kind of trip; still generously weighted against his best form, and first-time tongue-tie is a small addition. The step up in class after a quick turnaround is the main risk.

Carrying top weight of 10-12 with a Saturday Rating of 114 and inconsistent form of UP5-51 limits confidence despite fair 9/2 odds.

Coasted home by 11 lengths at Newton Abbot last time, clearly flourishing with the step up in trip; retains a fair mark on her best form even after the rise, and first-time tongue-tie is the only change. Bigger fields may test her consistency.

SP 6/1 7/1

Generally progressive and capable of winning by wide margins at his best, Morning Mayhem was not seen to best advantage when stepped up in trip last time; back at 2m on good ground is more suitable, though he carries 1lb more than when fourth last time and ranks lowest on our figures here.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 12-0 with inconsistent form (13-414) and a mid-range Saturday Rating of 116 limits Morning Mayhem's appeal at 13/2.

Beaten just a length at Stratford last time after being detached behind an early front-runner, Hope Rising is consistent and well suited by 2m on fast ground; she rates a strong danger here and the manner of that effort suggests her ability is not fully exposed at this level.

AI verdict

Rated 125 with solid 12R-32 form and fair 3/1 odds, but 11-10 weight and non-favourite market position limit confidence.

AI verdict

Recent form of 211 combined with a strong Saturday Rating of 132 justifies the 4/6 market confidence despite carrying 11-7.

Consistent performer who handles 2m on good to soft ground, Caelan was beaten 11 lengths at Aintree last time on a demanding track; a first-time tongue-tie may help sharpen him, though he is yet to win in his last five starts and the trainer is below peak at 29% lately.

AI verdict

Caelan's solid 110 Saturday Rating and consistent form are offset by 11-2 weight and 15/2 odds suggesting limited market confidence.

Fresh after an 88-day absence and well within range of today's trip — the extended 3m at Southwell last time found him out; first-time cheekpieces add a stimulus. A sequence of below-par efforts asks questions, though a more suitable distance gives grounds for optimism.

AI verdict

Inconsistent form (1P05P-) and top weight of 11-13 offset a competitive 5/1 price and Saturday Rating of 99.

Thriving in handicap company, landing a race at Worcester last time when ridden with confidence at a testing track; lightly raced with more improvement likely now settling into this sphere. The twin headgear additions — tongue-tie and cheekpieces for the first time — are the only query.

AI verdict

Strong recent form of 301-21 combined with a competitive 9/4 price and top weight of 11-12 reflects a Saturday Rating of 120.

Front-runner who landed a tight finish at Hexham two starts back, though performed to his recent level without threatening at the same mark last time; the trip and ground are familiar, and first-time tongue-tie is a small addition. His best suggests this mark is still workable.

AI verdict

Gardener's solid 111 Saturday Rating and recent winning form (3311) justify interest at 7/1, but top weight 11-9 limits confidence.

Out of form in recent starts, comfortably held at Southwell last time; the trip and going present no issues and first-time tongue-tie is a change. Yet to win in his last five starts, and there is little encouragement from the current run of results.

AI verdict

Rated just 95 with weak 6736-5 form and drifting at 14/1, Ballygeary carries 11-9 with little market confidence.

Bottom of our ratings in this field, with a recent pull-up in a point and still needing to demonstrate his worth under rules; effective over two to two-and-a-half miles, and first-time hood is a gear change. Hard to make a convincing case here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 74, 33/1 odds, and a form reading 4U27-P signal minimal winning prospects under top weight of 11-6.

Top-rated on our figures with a trainer in fine current form; he travelled well last time, hit the front but was outstayed late when a narrow second off a mark 3lb lower than today, while two starts back he cleared away more decisively when conditions fully favoured. Stamina is the only mild query.

AI verdict

Dream's Ka earns 4/5 stars with strong 116 Saturday Rating, consistent 07-212 form, and competitive 2/1 odds under 11-3.

Third at Warwick last time, probably hitting the front a touch too soon when stepping up in trip but staying on creditably; the trip and going suit her profile, and first-time tongue-tie is added today. Our figures place her near the foot of the field.

AI verdict

Rated 98 with inconsistent form (15F6-3) and 13/2 odds suggest mid-tier market confidence despite a workable 11-2 weight.
