Crack Of Thunder

Age 4 · 9-13

—

Cieren Fallon 18%

Jack Jones 12%

—

119

9-13

40/1 28/1 40/1

Showed little in an Amateurs' bumper at Worcester on her only previous start — well beaten and unable to make any impact — and has plenty to demonstrate making the switch to the Flat. Hard to fancy at this stage.

AI verdict

Long-shot odds of 40/1, top weight of 9-13, and an unknown form profile make Crack Of Thunder a weak contender.

Peace Belle

Age 5 · 9-11

—

Darragh Keenan 10%

Jennie Candlish 17%

—

140

9-11

14/1 7/1 11/1

A mare who landed a bumper earlier but struggled in a Grade 2 mares' NH Flat race last time out, though that was a stiff assignment; effective at two miles on good ground and usually held up, she can translate bumper form to the Flat. Off a short break but one of the main threats.

AI verdict

Mid-range Saturday Rating of 140 and 9/1 odds suggest Peace Belle holds fair claims but lacks the market confidence for a higher ranking.

Cherringham

Age 3 · 9-2

Ray Dawson 14%

Roger Varian 20%

—

153

9-2

4/1 9/4 4/1

Ran freely on debut at Lingfield but showed enough ability through the race before fading to a 5¼-length fifth; the faster surface here looks a significant upgrade on conditions and she is bred to improve. Trainer in strong current form — she looks the one to beat.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 153 and competitive 5/2 market odds support Cherringham despite a single form figure of 5.

Hauteluce

Age 3 · 9-2

Ashley Lewis 14%

Ed Walker 16%

—

146

9-2

6/1 15/2 11/2

Fair on debut at Lingfield, beaten nine lengths in a maiden though she showed clear inexperience throughout; off the track for over six months since, which is a concern, but a sire-miler dam-stayer cross suggests the trip could suit better beyond a mile as she fills her frame. Lightly raced with scope.

AI verdict

Hauteluce's single run showing a fifth-place finish and 8/1 odds suggest mid-tier potential warranting cautious interest at 146 Saturday Rating.

Ice Show

Age 3 · 9-2

556

Billy Loughnane 18%

David O'Meara 13%

9-2

9/1 17/2 6/1

Beaten 9¼ lengths at Thirsk last time when the shorter trip looked against her — the hood is on for the first time today and a top course jockey takes the saddle; her dam was successful at 7f but this distance could still be a stretch. May fare better in handicap company over further.

AI verdict

Rated just 57 with uninspiring 556 form and 9/1 odds, Ice Show lacks the market confidence or consistency to justify optimism.

Salamis Bay

Age 3 · 9-2

4475

Luke Morris 12%

Gay Kelleway 12%

9-2

40/1 18/1 33/1

Ground concerns ease today — she appeared to find soft conditions against her at Yarmouth last time and this AW surface suits, having stayed ten furlongs reliably; the current assignment looks less demanding than recent ones and she holds clear claims. Tricky to assess accurately, but on merit one of the main dangers.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 25/1, a weak Saturday Rating of 41, and uninspiring form figures of 4475 make Salamis Bay an unlikely winner.

Sweet Horizon

Age 3 · 9-2

—

Jack Mitchell 16%

Tom Clover 17%

—

142

9-2

11/1

A Lope Y Fernandez filly who is a half-sister to 1m2f performer Marama; bred to find her range around a mile-plus and attracted a solid yearling price. Worth a look at market interest before the off — the pedigree is more encouraging than debut unknowns might suggest.

AI verdict

At 11/1 and carrying 9-2, Sweet Horizon's Saturday Rating of 142 shows ability but market support is lacking.

Blue Celestial

Age 3 · 9-0

347324

Hector Crouch 18%

James Tate 19%

9-0

6/5 2/1 11/10

Fourth at Nottingham last time, beaten four and a half lengths in a handicap where she lacked the necessary pace, but she handles today's surface and has a recent placed effort on the AW to her name; a trainer in excellent current form adds appeal. Stamina at this trip is the question.

AI verdict

Consistent form figures of 347324 and a competitive 2/1 odds suggest solid claims, but a Saturday Rating of 71 limits confidence.

Midnight Media

Age 3 · 9-0

05949

Lewis Edmunds 12%

William Muir & Chris Grassick 11%

9-0

25/1 25/1 22/1

Beaten out of the places at Windsor last time where stamina again appeared the issue — a recurring concern given her record — and she has been thoroughly inconsistent in recent outings; effective at a mile on the AW, she needs things to fall her way. Hard to fancy.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 35, 28/1 odds, and form figures of 05949 indicate Midnight Media holds minimal winning prospects here.

Miss Mambo

Age 3 · 9-0

0-7367

Saffie Osborne 14%

Gay Kelleway 12%

9-0

80/1 33/1 50/1

First-time blinkers are applied after she appeared to find this trip a stretch here last time, beaten over eight lengths; effective at six to eight furlongs on the surface and the headgear change adds a spark, though stamina questions remain. Form has been patchy but worth monitoring.

AI verdict

Outsider at 40/1 with a Saturday Rating of just 35 and uninspiring form of 0-7367 makes Miss Mambo a very unlikely winner.

Sunshine And Roses

Age 3 · 9-0

3944-0

Edward Greatrex 14%

Jack Channon 14%

9-0

18/1 5/1 14/1

A flat Windsor run last time wants forgetting, but she handles AW conditions well over seven to nine furlongs and this looks less demanding than recent assignments; the trainer's poor current spell is the main concern. She has the ability to get involved if back near her best.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 59 and poor form figures of 3944-0 at 13/2 suggest limited winning prospects here.

Magician Of Riga

Age 3 · 9-9

0-5311

Joe Leavy 11%

Richard Hannon 12%

9-9

14/1 9/2 14/1

Landed a handicap by a neck at Southwell last time off a mark 3lb below today’s, Magician Of Riga has two wins in recent starts and remains well treated overall; a longer trip than today’s would suit better but he handles the all-weather and comes off a short break.

AI verdict

Consistent recent form (5311) and fair odds of 6/1 are offset by a mid-range Saturday Rating of 79 and top weight of 9-9.

Eljowhary

Age 3 · 9-9

664

Ray Dawson 14%

Roger Varian 20%

9-9

9/1 11/2 8/1

Appeared to idle when only fourth at Windsor last time, Eljowhary is expected to benefit from stepping up in trip and moving into handicap company; he handles the all-weather and a first-time hood is fitted to sharpen him up.

AI verdict

Eljowhary's poor form of 664, a modest Saturday Rating of 70, and 6/1 odds suggest limited winning prospects here.

Windbreaker

Age 3 · 9-8

53-34

Cieren Fallon 18%

William Haggas 23%

9-8

9/4 9/2 32/17

Denied a clear run at a crucial stage last time and beaten 3½ lengths off a mark 1lb above today’s, Windbreaker rates better than bare results suggest; well supported in recent outings with more to come, he tops our figures here.

AI verdict

Windbreaker's mid-range Saturday Rating of 75 and inconsistent 53-34 form justify a cautious 3/5 despite fair 9/2 odds.

Taradif

Age 3 · 9-7

48-58

Lewis Edmunds 12%

Jessica Macey 9%

9-7

200/1 28/1 200/1

Making a well-beaten handicap debut in France last time, Taradif comes here with a 129-day gap since last running and must prove his form translates to British conditions; first-time tongue-tie is fitted but he sits at the foot of our rankings and the mark looks stiff.

AI verdict

Taradif's 44 Saturday Rating, 40/1 odds, and poor 48-58 form combine to make this 9-7 weighted runner an outsider with minimal winning prospects.

Aerial Silk

Age 3 · 9-7

434-7

Billy Loughnane 18%

David Menuisier 13%

9-7

14/1 9/1 11/1

Showed reasonable form before a flat effort at Haydock last time when stepped up to 1m; Aerial Silk must prove his stamina over this longer trip but has a top course jockey in the saddle and returns after a short break on a surface he handles.

AI verdict

Aerial Silk's poor form (434-7), lowly Saturday Rating of 63, and 12/1 odds signal a market with little confidence in this 9-7 weighted runner.

Faeberon

Age 3 · 9-7

74-83

Jack Mitchell 16%

Simon & Ed Crisford 19%

9-7

6/4 31/19 3/2

Putting in a solid handicap debut at Thirsk last time, going down by 2 lengths off a mark 1lb below today’s, Faeberon showed he can compete at this level; first-time cheekpieces are tried and he stays well, though he has more to prove here.

AI verdict

Solid Saturday Rating of 76 and fair 6/4 odds are offset by inconsistent 74-83 form and a hefty 9-7 weight burden.

Court Of Stars

Age 3 · 9-6

4-1224

Pierre-Louis Jamin 14%

Ollie Sangster 14%

9-6

50/1 10/1 40/1

Landed a race at Kempton off a lower mark earlier in the season, Court Of Stars ran to form last time despite missing the start, finishing fourth beaten only 2 lengths off this mark; consistent throughout and from an inside draw, she is a solid danger.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 65 and 14/1 odds signal weak market confidence, while inconsistent 4-1224 form offers little hope under 9-6.

The Stone Power

Age 3 · 9-6

23-37

Hector Crouch 18%

Ralph Beckett 19%

9-6

7/1 10/1 6/1

Struggling to match the pace on his handicap debut at Newbury last time, The Stone Power was beaten 5¼ lengths and may simply have needed the run; he rates second on our figures and the extra distance on the all-weather should suit better.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 65 and inconsistent form figures of 23-37 at 12/1 make The Stone Power an unconvincing each-way proposition.

Silky Lass

Age 3 · 9-4

315332

Clifford Lee 17%

K. R. Burke 20%

9-4

14/1 FCST 12/1

Outpaced after being held up last time here but still placed second beaten 7 lengths behind a well-treated rival, Silky Lass ran well in the circumstances; effective over 1m-9f on the all-weather and in good form, she can go close again.

AI verdict

Silky Lass carries 9-4 with a modest Saturday Rating of 67, inconsistent form of 315332, and weak 11/1 market support.

Just A Gambler

Age 3 · 9-0

138344

Jack Callan 14%

Charlie Johnston 13%

9-0

40/1 28/1 40/1

Had his chance at Hamilton last time but went down by 7 lengths in fourth, dipping below his prior level; Just A Gambler handles the all-weather at 8f but recent efforts have been unimpressive and he needs to find more.

AI verdict

Rated just 51 with poor recent form of 138344 and dismissed by the market at 22/1, Just A Gambler offers minimal winning prospects.

—

115

10-2

125/1 80/1 125/1

Back after nearly a year off the track, Harry Rocket was well beaten on his only start at Leicester, and much remains to be demonstrated from that forgettable debut; a sprint-miler cross pedigree offers little comfort at this distance. Hard to fancy on these figures.

AI verdict

Extreme odds of 125/1, a single poor form run, and a Saturday Rating of 115 signal minimal winning prospects.

Cosmic Jive

Ashley Lewis 14%

Ed Walker 16%

9-7

33/1 28/1 33/1

His Salisbury run 19 days ago — beaten 8¼ lengths in a novice — hinted at development as a debut outing, though plenty more is needed; sire brings speed and dam offers some stamina, a mix that may suit today's trip.

AI verdict

Long-shot odds of 33/1 and modest form figures of 87 undermine Cosmic Jive's chances despite a Saturday Rating of 121.

11/8 6/5 5/4

Promising on debut here when third, beaten two lengths in a maiden — ran freely and struck the front ahead of his time, but the AW form is solid and there is clear scope for improvement. A top course jockey takes the ride and the mile trip on this surface suits.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 152 and competitive 11/8 odds support Hozam's credentials, despite form showing only one run.

Rogue Federation

Harry Davies 13%

James Owen 18%

9-7

40/1 28/1 33/1

Debut at Yarmouth yielded a fifth, beaten over eight lengths in a novice, leaving plenty to find here; the 6-7f pedigree suggests today's trip may be on the sharp side. Hard to get excited about on current evidence.

AI verdict

Long-shot odds of 33/1 and a single form figure of 5 signal limited winning prospects despite a competitive weight.

Showed signs of inexperience at Windsor on his only start but did finish with purpose once things clicked, though still well beaten; speed in the pedigree is encouraging and there is scope to do better with that debut run under the belt.

AI verdict

Long-shot odds of 40/1, a single form figure of 7, and a Saturday Rating of 122 signal limited winning prospects here.

9-3

40/1 25/1 40/1

Debut runner by top-class middle-distance sire Ulysses, a half-brother to 6f performer Boma Green, so the trip question hinges on which influence prevails; the stable is in excellent current form, which is the main thing in his favour here.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 124 with 40/1 odds and unknown form suggests limited market confidence in this 9-3 weighted runner.

Miss Nightcap

Edward Smyth-Osbourne 10%

156

9-2

11/4

Twice placed in maidens with her Newbury second last time — beaten a length — representing solid form that has been backed up by subsequent results; a wind operation before her debut has clearly not hampered her. Effective at six furlongs on fast ground, she holds the best claims in this field.

AI verdict

Consistent form figures of 22, a competitive 3/1 market price, and a strong Saturday Rating of 156 justify four stars.

9-0

66/1 50/1 66/1

Two runs in Ireland produced little — beaten eight lengths in a claimer at Gowran Park last time — and much remains to be demonstrated on this switch to Flat conditions after a short break; the trainer is in good form and the speed-stamina pedigree mix is workable, though this asks considerable questions.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 124 shows ability, but 66/1 odds and poor form figures of 8-6 limit confidence significantly.

9-0

28/1 18/1 25/1

Sprint-bred filly who looked inexperienced and appeared to find six furlongs beyond her at Leicester last time, beaten over eight lengths in a maiden; there is a suggestion the trip may now suit at three, though plenty remains to prove given the modest figures.

AI verdict

Rubistar's poor form (6-8), outsider odds of 25/1, and low Saturday Rating of 125 signal little winning chance here.

Luke Morris 12%

Archie Watson 15%

—

8-12

7/2 9/2 10/3

Second at Lingfield last time, beaten just over two lengths in a novice, represents solid AW form and her debut efforts have been backed up since; there is a case for further improvement here and she is effective at seven furlongs on the surface. One of the main threats.

AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 155 with consistent form figures of 32 and a competitive 9/2 market price justify this 4-star selection.

Elsa Tan

Age 3 · 8-12

Jack Callan 14%

George Baker 10%

125

8-12

66/1 50/1 66/1

A Cable Bay filly who is a full-sister to smart 6f performer Silver Samurai, and another sibling has gone in over six furlongs second time out — the sprint pedigree is compelling; she is likely to benefit from having this run first but the family form gives genuine reason for optimism.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 125 shows ability, but 66/1 odds and unknown form limit confidence to a mid-tier 3/5.

Vichenza

Age 3 · 8-12

Hector Crouch 18%

Ralph Beckett 19%

9/2 3/1 4/1

Consistent third at Leicester last time, beaten four and a half lengths in a novice, where she raced freely early and flattened out late, but still ran to her mark; sprint-bred and handles six furlongs well on a sound surface, with further progress on the cards. A legitimate danger.

AI verdict

Consistent form figures of 33, a competitive Saturday Rating of 156, and fair 10/3 odds suggest Vichenza is a solid each-way contender without market-leading confidence.

Myla Coppins 17%

Tony Carroll 13%

9-9

5/2 3/1 5/2

Hampered at a critical point at Bath last time, which excuses a 3½-length defeat off a mark 7lb lower than today; a genuine AW stayer who thrives at 14-16 furlongs, with a first-time tongue-tie fitted and a top course trainer in his corner. A forgivable run and capable of going close.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 60 and inconsistent form (151465) at 9-9 weight offer little confidence despite fair 3/1 odds.

Back in form at Leicester last time, going down by only three-quarters of a length off a mark 1lb below today's, and returning to the AW where almost all his best efforts have come; first-time cheekpieces applied though stamina over sixteen furlongs is unproven. A genuine danger.

AI verdict

Solid 65 Saturday Rating and fair 9/4 odds offset by inconsistent form (960342) and a hefty 9-8 weight assignment.

In poor shape at Bath last time, beaten six lengths in a handicap, and his reliable form is firmly over shorter trips of seven to eight furlongs; a first-time tongue-tie is fitted but stamina over sixteen furlongs looks a serious concern. Hard to justify on current evidence.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 50 and poor form reading 900-06 at 10/1 make Four Fifty an unconvincing 9-6 weighted outsider.

After missing the break at Kempton last time he over-raced in an attempt to recover, ultimately finishing well beaten in a handicap; form looks to be heading the wrong way and he needs to show considerably more than recent outings have offered.

AI verdict

Drifting to 50/1 with a Saturday Rating of just 28 and poor recent form of 3/3/98 makes Individualiste a rank outsider.

Landing a handicap at Newcastle last time by three-quarters of a length off a mark 2lb lower, he appears back to something like his best; effective at 14-16 furlongs on the AW and still on a workable mark, he could build further on that run now a win is back under the belt.

AI verdict

Modest Saturday Rating of 62 and inconsistent form (-39451) limit confidence despite carrying 9-0 at 5/4.

10/1 14/1 8/1

Kept to his modest level at Lingfield last time, beaten over six lengths in a classified race, with the form suggesting others here hold stronger claims; effective over seven to ten furlongs but today's sixteen furlongs looks a significant stamina test. A first-time tongue-tie changes little on these figures.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 41, weak form reading -75795, and 14/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects in this handicap.

First-time blinkers are fitted as he returns from an unsuccessful hurdles foray at Ludlow, where he appeared to find the trip a struggle; suited by two miles on the AW and the switch back to this surface should help, though current form gives cause for caution regardless of the headgear.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 27, rank outsider odds of 50/1, and a form string of 4078-0 make Man Of Riddles a deeply unconvincing contender.

Winless and thoroughly out of form — a run of seventh-place finishes culminating in a six-length defeat at Newcastle — with nothing of note on the Flat since 2022; a hurdles spell added little either. Hard to find merit in his cause on present evidence.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 66/1, a Saturday Rating of just 27, and a uninspiring form of 977-77 make Ebendi an unconvincing contender.

Had every chance in this grade last time but was still beaten 8 lengths here; first-time cheekpieces and sitting just 1lb above his last winning mark are small pluses, though Em Jay Kay returns from a 107-day break and draws wide.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 48, 18/1 odds, and poor recent form figures of 8-3189 make Em Jay Kay a weak contender.

AW form looks the key for King David, who was driven too hard in a turf handicap at Bath last time and beaten over 8 lengths; first-time tongue-tie and blinkers are fitted here, but a wide draw and a long winless run limit the appeal.

AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 54 and inconsistent form (246478) at top weight 9-12 make 17/2 odds reflect limited winning prospects.

Off the back of a flat display in a higher-grade event here, Teardrops must come back to form at a more suitable level; the trainer knows this track well, though the wide draw and a winless recent run limit confidence.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-12 with a Saturday Rating of 44, poor recent form 023480, and drifting odds of 18/1 make Teardrops a weak selection.

Georgia Dobie 10%

Back on the all-weather having struggled on turf at Catterick last time, White Umbrella arrives in first-time cheekpieces after 48 days off; she handles the surface and has placed in similar company before, but form has been inconsistent lately.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-11 with poor form -63650 and a low Saturday Rating of 55 at 8/1 makes White Umbrella unconvincing.

Master Dandy has won twice in recent starts with his best form on the all-weather at shorter trips; he went well below that level on turf at Thirsk last time, but runs off his last winning mark in first-time tongue-tie and blinkers.

AI verdict

Rated just 45 with 20/1 odds and erratic form showing an 8 and 0, Master Dandy offers minimal winning prospects.

Beaten 6 lengths at Brighton last time, Thanks Dad arrives without a win in recent outings and with a cold trainer record; first-time tongue-tie and visor are fitted but he is ranked last on our figures and needs a significant step forward.

AI verdict

Saturday Rating of 44, outsider odds of 14/1, and dismal form figures of 00-086 make Thanks Dad a very unlikely contender.

Age 8 · 9-10

9-5707

Billy Loughnane 18%

Phil McEntee 11%

9-10

10/1 11/1 9/1

Pulled too hard at Yarmouth last time and beaten 9½ lengths, Alafdhal needs to settle better; back on the surface he handles best and below his last competitive mark, with a top course jockey in first-time visor, though the widest draw is a concern.

AI verdict

Alafdhal's Saturday Rating of 45, 14/1 odds, and poor form figures of 9-5707 highlight minimal winning prospects.

Trust Sergei

Jonny Peate 9%

Gary Hanmer 12%

9-8

11/2 7/2 11/2

Back to form over a shorter trip here last time, Trust Sergei went down by just 1¼ lengths off the same mark; he can be inconsistent and comes off a short break, but his record at this course makes him a genuine threat.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-8 with a modest Saturday Rating of 59 and uninspiring recent form of 5-7462 limits Trust Sergei's appeal.

On Key

Age 4 · 9-7

242523

Kieran O'Neill 9%

Scott Dixon 7%

9-7

7/2 3/1 7/2

Running to form at Chepstow last time where he went down by only 1½ lengths off this mark, On Key has been consistently involved; yet to score, but he handles this surface well and the inside draw is no drawback.

AI verdict

Consistent form figures of 242523 and fair 3/1 odds are offset by a moderate Saturday Rating of 65 and 9-7 burden.

Last Outlaw

Age 5 · 9-6

05-055

Ben Robinson 10%

Max Young 2%

9-6

12/1 17/2 12/1

Returning from 137 days off, Last Outlaw made little impact at Southwell last time and performances have slipped back in recent starts; the mark is now considerably lower, however, and he handles this surface and trip, which gives him a slim chance.

AI verdict

Rated just 48 with poor form figures of 05-055 and dismissed by the market at 10/1, Last Outlaw lacks the credentials to compete at 9-6.

Sunlit Sea

Age 3 · 9-5

3327-8

Luke Morris 12%

Sir Mark Prescott Bt 19%

9-5

9/1 8/1 9/1

Consistent on the all-weather before her latest run, Sunlit Sea was beaten 8½ lengths at Carlisle in headgear that clearly did not suit; first-time cheekpieces are tried here, she draws from stall 1, and she tops our figures in this field.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-5 with a Saturday Rating of just 58, modest 10/1 odds, and a form string showing a recent eighth, Sunlit Sea offers little appeal.

Barry The Worm

Age 3 · 9-5

631-60

Lewis Edmunds 12%

Edward Smyth-Osbourne 10%

9-5

8/1 17/2 15/2

A winner on this surface, Barry The Worm was too free at Salisbury last time and faded down the field; first-time cheekpieces are fitted here and he handles the all-weather well — if able to settle, the ability is there.

AI verdict

Midfield Saturday Rating of 57, inconsistent form figures of 631-60, and 9/1 odds suggest a capable but unreliable each-way contender.

Porfin

Age 8 · 9-2

530454

Connor Planas 11%

Phil McEntee 11%

9-2

14/1 12/1 14/1

Consistent enough at a modest level, Porfin was never able to get into contention at Bath last time and finished fourth beaten 4 lengths; first-time cheekpieces are added and he handles any surface over this trip, though he remains winless in recent outings.

AI verdict

Porfin's Saturday Rating of 43, 14/1 odds, and uninspiring 530454 form make this a clear market outsider.

378-

Lewis Edmunds 12%

Derek Shaw 7%

9-9

18/1 18/1 14/1

Returning from a long absence after finding the start unhelpful at Southwell last time, where he was well beaten in a novice; effective over seven furlongs and dropping to today's shorter trip could suit; open to improvement and acts on sound going. The layoff is the key unknown.

AI verdict

Blue Lancero's Saturday Rating of 51, poor 378- form, and 16/1 outsider odds justify the lowest possible star rating.

Shalaa Asker

Age 8 · 9-9

222661

Jack Callan 14%

Charlie Wallis 10%

9-9

9/4 2/1 9/4

Back to his best at Lingfield last time, landing a handicap by a neck off a 2lb lower mark, and the 2lb rise looks well within range for him here; effective at five to seven furlongs on any surface and fitted with first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces. One of the main dangers.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-9 with a modest Saturday Rating of 72 and uninspiring recent form of 222661 limits confidence despite fair 9/4 odds.

Level Up

Age 7 · 9-7

Billy Loughnane 18%

David Evans 13%

9-7

15/8 7/4 32/17

Top-rated here, drawing clear with the runner-up at Ffos Las last time before going down by a length and a half off his current mark; suited to five furlongs on any surface with a top course jockey aboard and first-time blinkers potentially sharpening the effort. The one to beat.

AI verdict

Consistent form figures of 223352 and a competitive Saturday Rating of 71 justify mid-tier appeal, but 9-7 weight limits upside.

Style King

Age 4 · 9-4

-92685

Silvestre De Sousa 14%

Chris Dwyer 14%

9-4

7/2 5/2 3/1

A step up at Lingfield last time when the headgear sparked him, beaten 2¼ lengths off a mark 3lb higher; back on a lower mark now with first-time cheekpieces applied and fast AW going that suits. Inconsistent of late but holds a live chance here.

AI verdict

Rated just 65 with poor recent form of -92685 and carrying 9-4, Style King offers little appeal at 11/4.

The Fixer

Age 5 · 8-13

39-000

Kieran O'Neill 9%

Scott Dixon 7%

8-13

5/1 11/2 9/2

Three consecutive unplaced efforts are a concern, the latest at Doncaster where being drawn on the wrong side cost him; effective at five to six furlongs on AW but a trainer currently without a strike and a brief break to freshen up make this a hard proposition. A significant upturn in form is required.

AI verdict

Form reading 39-000 and a low Saturday Rating of 59 make The Fixer an unconvincing 11/2 market proposition.

Bomb Squad

Finley Marsh 14%

John Mackie 11%

9-9

6/1 9/2 6/1

Landed a race at Southwell off a lower mark earlier in the campaign and ran his race again last time, going down by 3 lengths from the same mark; first-time cheekpieces and a trainer in form strengthen Bomb Squad’s case as a clear danger.

AI verdict

Consistent form of 216213 and competitive 9/2 odds support a mid-tier 74 Saturday Rating carrying 9-9.

Pearly Squirrel

Age 4 · 9-8

133035

William Pyle 9%

David Loughnane 12%

9-8

5/1

Hampered by interference last time here, Pearly Squirrel found the pace flagging late on and was beaten 3¼ lengths off 1lb above today’s mark; the trip back down is welcomed and she handles any surface, so that excused effort is worth bearing in mind.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-8 with inconsistent form (133035) and a modest Saturday Rating of 64 limits confidence despite fair 5/1 odds.

Split Elevens

Age 8 · 9-8

745412

Jack Callan 14%

John Butler 13%

9-8

7/2 FCST 10/3

Went close last time, beaten just half a length on a mark 1lb below today’s; previously landed a race at this track off a lower mark and he handles the surface well, but Split Elevens sits low on our figures despite the respectable recent run.

AI verdict

Rated 70 with solid recent form (745412) and fair 7/2 odds, but 9-8 weight limits upside in a competitive handicap.

Skellig Isle

Age 4 · 9-8

-15444

Cieren Fallon 18%

Philip McBride 13%

9-8

10/3 5/1 11/4

Showing her best form at shorter trips, Skellig Isle found the going softer than ideal at Yarmouth last time and tired in the closing stages; she can be inconsistent but has the ability to be involved when conditions suit, and the inside draw is useful.

AI verdict

Skellig Isle's mid-tier Saturday Rating of 63, modest 5/1 odds, and uninspiring -15444 form carrying 9-8 justify a cautious 3/5 rating.

Harbour Vision

Age 11 · 9-5

009003

Kieran O'Neill 9%

Scott Dixon 7%

9-5

16/1 14/1 16/1

Back to some form last time here over course and distance, Harbour Vision tops our figures and first-time blinkers could help him build on that performance; he is a tricky customer, though, and a cold trainer run of form introduces some doubt.

AI verdict

Rated just 48 with weak 009003 form and sent off at 16/1, Harbour Vision lacks the market confidence or rating to compete.

Cooramook

Age 4 · 9-5

-49436

Billy Loughnane 18%

Mark Loughnane 10%

9-5

15/2 12/1 7/1

Despite suffering early interference last time here, Cooramook came down beaten only 3 lengths off a mark 1lb above today’s — arguably a better effort than the bare result suggests; first-time blinkers and a top course jockey boost her claims after a short break.

AI verdict

Rated just 53 with poor recent form of -49436 and dismissed by the market at 12/1, Cooramook offers little winning hope.

Faster Bee

Age 5 · 9-3

120419

Gina Mangan 11%

Fergal O'Brien 15%

9-3

14/1 9/1 12/1

Landed a race here off a lower mark earlier in the season, but Faster Bee ran very free last time and was beaten 14 lengths; he handles this surface and trip and wears first-time tongue-tie after a short break, though the revised mark needs more.

AI verdict

Faster Bee's weak recent form (120419), low Saturday Rating of 59, and 9/1 odds suggest limited winning prospects here.

Clover Time

Age 4 · 9-3

Lewis Edmunds 12%

Michael Appleby 13%

9-3

14/1 11/1 12/1

Went off too freely when stepped up in trip here last time and failed to stay, beaten 10 lengths; Clover Time arrives with a cold trainer run and is ranked last on our figures, though first-time cheekpieces and an easing mark are minor positives after a short break.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 51, weak form (-26458), and 12/1 odds signal limited winning prospects in this handicap.

Lessay

Age 5 · 9-2

450726

Ashley Lewis 14%

Patrick Morris 8%

9-2

8/1 7/1 8/1

Ran to form here last time from a mark 1lb above today’s, going down by 2 lengths; Lessay has been in better form in recent outings and handles the surface well over this trip, with first-time cheekpieces a potential aid.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 55, poor recent form (450726), and unfavoured market position at 15/2 make Lessay an unconvincing contender.

Mythical Isle

893491

Paddy Bradley 9%

Patrick Morris 8%

8-13

SP 8/1 14/1

Won over course and distance last time by three-quarters of a length, digging deep to last home; Mythical Isle can blow hot and cold but is still lightly campaigned at 7f on the all-weather and must back up that display in handicap company.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 58 and inconsistent form (893491) at 9/1 suggest limited winning prospects despite a manageable 8-13 weight.
