12-0

11/2 10/3 11/2

Shaped to his ability on his chase debut at Bangor-on-Dee most recently, finishing 6¼l third, and remains unexposed over fences with the trip and going both in his favour. Off a 74-day break with first-time tongue-tie and visor, though he is below the leading contenders on our figures.

AI verdict

Solid 119 Saturday Rating and fair 10/3 odds are offset by top weight 12-0 and inconsistent 13283- form.

14/1 7/1 14/1

Back to his best at Hereford last time, landing a handicap by 9 lengths on today's going with first-time tongue-tie; that was a two-horse affair and the form may warrant some scepticism. Effective at 2½m; inconsistent, and a 50-day absence adds a layer of uncertainty.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 12-0 with patchy form (F5PP-1) and a moderate Saturday Rating of 102 at 7/1 limits confidence.

Showed improved form when fitted with first-time headgear at Stratford last time, pressing close off a near-identical mark on suitable ground; today's trip and surface both look ideal. Inconsistency is the main concern, and a bold follow-up cannot be assumed.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-13 with inconsistent form (068P-2) limits confidence despite a competitive 4/1 market price and Saturday Rating of 108.

Kevin Brogan 12%

Gary Hanmer 12%

11-12

28/1

His stamina appeared to give out at Market Rasen most recently, finishing well held beaten 43 lengths in a chase, and inconsistency for a new yard is a recurring theme. First-time cheekpieces and a return to a trip he handles could produce improvement, but he has plenty to prove.

AI verdict

A 28/1 outsider carrying top weight 11-12 with a form reading of P4P-P3 and a low Saturday Rating of 76 offers minimal winning prospects.

106

11-11

3/1 9/2 11/4

Rallied well here last time, pushed along positively over this trip and beaten just 3 lengths off a slightly higher mark; the course and distance both suit, and first-time cheekpieces could sharpen him further. Yet to score in recent starts and he will need to build on that latest revival to take this.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-11 with a modest Saturday Rating of 106 and inconsistent form of 456-42 limits Pike Road's appeal at 5/1.

876-53

Tom Broughton 11%

Fergal O'Brien 15%

106

11-8

15/2 10/1 7/1

Given a lot of ground to make up at this course last time, he returned to form to finish 7¼l third in a hurdle off a higher mark; usually settled towards the rear and first-time cheekpieces are fitted. Inconsistent, and a repeat of that level at minimum would be needed to be competitive here.

AI verdict

Long odds of 14/1, a modest Saturday Rating of 93, and uninspiring form figures of 876-53 combine to make Gwash an unlikely winning prospect.

106

11-6

14/1 13/2 14/1

Her jumping was poor and she failed to travel in a hurdle here last time, finishing well held; the switch to chasing on debut is a bold move given that tendency. Effective at 2½-3m on any ground and first-time cheekpieces are applied, but she needs to demonstrate she can handle fences.

AI verdict

Modest Saturday Rating of 106, inconsistent form (1346-7), and 13/2 odds suggest a mid-tier contender carrying 11-6.

Christian Williams 10%

101

11-3

28/1 20/1 28/1

Off the track for 152 days after stopping in a chase at Ffos Las latest when the ground proved too testing; today's conditions look more suitable, but he is likely to need this first run back and he rates at the foot of our figures. Inconsistency is a recurring concern.

AI verdict

Long odds of 20/1, a patchy form of 75P1P-, and a modest Saturday Rating of 82 signal limited winning prospects.

Atreides

1U2-63

Bradley Harris 17%

Neil Mulholland 15%

101

11-3

10/1 12/1 9/1

Set off at too strong a gallop at Fontwell most recently, finishing 14 lengths third in a chase, and his best form appears to be around 2m4f on today's going. First-time tongue-tie and visor fitted; a generally improving profile over fences, though he rates below the leading contenders here.

AI verdict

Atreides's inconsistent form of 1U2-63, high 11-3 weight, and unconvincing 14/1 market position undermine confidence despite a 91 Saturday Rating.

James Bowen 20%

Mickey Bowen 16%

7/2 13/2 7/2

Given too much to do at this course last time, he improved through the race and jumped better to finish 17 lengths third; he has landed two bumpers and could be well treated on his current chase mark. First-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces; 2m7f on today's ground suits, with consistency the key question.

AI verdict

Consistent form figures of 2P9-33 and a Saturday Rating of 96 at 15/2 suggest fair each-way claims without dominating the market.

1P4-24

Sam Twiston-Davies 17%

Nigel & Willy Twiston-Davies 14%

11-2

14/1 12/1 14/1

Her chase return at Uttoxeter last time was well below expectations, beaten 32 lengths, and she is yet to find her feet in the new discipline. She tops our ratings, however, with 2m4f-3m on today's ground in her favour, and first-time cheekpieces have been applied to aid a revival.

AI verdict

Weak Saturday Rating of 90, unfancied 14/1 odds, and inconsistent form reading 1P4-24 combine to make this a low-confidence selection.

Mr James King 16%

Charlie Longsdon 16%

100

12-0

7/1 10/1 7/1

Tongue-tie and visor applied as connections look for more from a gelding who was well beaten here last time on only his second outing after a wind operation. Effective at around 3m on suitable ground, he is still finding his feet over fences and may show more as that procedure continues to take effect.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 12-0, rated just 82, and showing poor recent form of 1482-9 at 11/1 makes this an unlikely winner.

Majestic Moment

Age 7 · 11-11

11-U26

Bryan Carver 13%

Dean Summersby 7%

11-11

9/2 6/1 9/2

Won by 4½ lengths at Fontwell in April when conditions suited, though last time came a bit too quickly — he kept on into sixth despite being beaten 28 lengths from a mark 1lb higher than today's. Effective at 2½m on good ground, a progressive sort who may bounce back at a slight drop in the weights.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-11 with a modest Saturday Rating of 84 and inconsistent form showing a unseated rider, 7/1 odds reflect justified market skepticism.

Calli Black

Age 8 · 11-4

15577-

James Davies 8%

David Weston 4%

11-4

14/1 10/1 12/1

Racing far too keenly at Ffos Las last time, she burned herself out up front and was well beaten in a handicap chase. Effective at 2½m on good ground and returning from a short break, though her inconsistency is a concern and she may need a drop in grade before she can land a race.

AI verdict

Rated just 76 with poor recent form (15577-) and unfancied at 11/1 carrying 11-4, Calli Black offers little Saturday market confidence.

Knightsbridge

Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill 11%

2/1 3/2 7/4

Stepped forward in trip to land a handicap by 3 lengths at Warwick last time from a mark 5lb lower than today's. Tongue-tie and cheekpieces for the first time here; effective at 3m on good ground and a progressive stayer, he remains on a mark that could still underestimate him.

AI verdict

Knightsbridge's winning form and competitive 7/4 odds are offset by a 92 Saturday Rating and burdensome 11-4 weight.

Pawpaw

Age 9 · 11-3

51751/

Tom Bellamy 16%

D. J. Jeffreys 9%

11-3

20/1 15/2 14/1

First-time tongue-tie for a gelding returning from a long absence — his most recent run was a dominant 14-length handicap success at Hereford, making all from the front and finding plenty when pressed. Effective at 3m on good ground, and on a workable mark if that fitness has carried over.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-3 with a Saturday Rating of 85 and 15/2 odds, Pawpaw's inconsistent form of 51751/ limits confidence.

Tech That

Harry Bannister 13%

12/1 18/1 11/1

Gave way and was pulled up in a handicap chase at Exeter last time, making a return from a break here. Yet to score under rules despite the distance being right, he needs to show a great deal more before he can be taken seriously.

AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 52, 25/1 odds, and a form string showing two pulled-up runs make Tech That uncompetitive at 11-0.

King Of The Story

Age 10 · 11-0

PP4-2P

Ben Poste 3%

Polly Gundry 7%

11-0

12/1 13/2 10/1

First-time tongue-tie for a gelding who landed this race twelve months ago but has been in and out since — most recently pulled up at Warwick, where he never found a rhythm over the fences. He handles this sort of going but needs to return to somewhere near his best.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-0 with a Saturday Rating of just 78, patchy form of PP4-2P, and unfancied at 15/2 makes King Of The Story a weak each-way proposition.

Kielan Woods 14%

D. J. Jeffreys 9%

12/1 15/2 12/1

Well beaten on her latest outing at this venue, a run that appeared to come too soon and left room for improvement. She has been a reliable performer over this sort of distance and handles the track, and a better showing is expected now she has that run in her legs.

AI verdict

Culligran's mid-tier Saturday Rating of 83 and recent poor form figure of 7 undermine confidence despite carrying 10-13 at 9/1.

Crackerjack Queen

6/1 9/2 11/2

Showed up well on her chase debut at Southwell last time, beaten only 3 lengths from a mark 2lb lower than today's and likely to improve further over fences. Tongue-tie and cheekpieces added, she handles today's distance and enters this as the top-rated runner in the field — scope for more on chase potential.

AI verdict

Moderate Saturday Rating of 82, inconsistent form (063-52), and mid-field 9/2 odds suggest limited winning claims under 10-10.

22/1 22/1 20/1

Beaten 25 lengths into fourth here last time, left well behind by the leaders despite the trip being to her taste. She has landed a couple of wins in recent starts in less competitive company, but the step up to handicap chase level has proved a significant challenge so far.

AI verdict

Emberscombe's 28/1 odds and poor Saturday Rating of 47 expose weak market confidence despite a mixed form of P1-314.

Won by 12 lengths at Hereford three starts back and ran to his level when fifth at a higher mark last time, simply losing momentum late over a longer trip; drops 1lb here at an effective distance with a first-time tongue-tie applied.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 12-1 with a moderate Saturday Rating of 95, inconsistent form of 3613-5, and 7/1 odds reflecting weak market confidence limits appeal.

AI verdict

Carries top weight of 12-0 with a Saturday Rating of 111, but solid form (7116-1) and 11/4 odds suggest mid-tier market confidence.

A front-runner by inclination who has struggled to complete in recent starts, pulling up or unseating in each of his last five outings; back from a lengthy break and fitted with first-time cheekpieces, effective at this trip, but needs to recapture his best.

AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-12 with a dismal PPUPP- form string and dismissed by the market at 66/1, Stormin Crossgales offers no winning case.

AI verdict

Outsider odds of 20/1, poor form showing two pulls and a last, and a low Saturday Rating of 73 signal minimal winning chance.

AI verdict

Weak form figures of 4/54-P, a 79 Saturday Rating, and 16/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects under 11-9.
