      Barnaby Rudge

      13/8

      SR 152 leads the field, the only winner in the race, and Muscutt rides with yard confidence at 13/8 — the experience edge over five debutants is decisive.

      Predicted 2nd

      Papercut

      4/1

      SR 150 and Balding's market confidence at 4/1 with PJ McDonald aboard — strong latent ability, just lacks the race experience to overhaul the winner.

    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Flashing Star

      8/1

      SR 147 and a run already in the legs over this trip; the single sixth-place finish masks a horse likely to improve sharply with race fitness.

    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Hell Of A Spin

      9/1

      SR 146 from Keatley's yard; a debut runner who could break well and hold a prominent position, but experience and class likely cost him a podium finish.

      Power Fizz

      11/4

      SR 101, form 1214-1, Cieren Fallon booked, and a genuine early pace to close into. Every signal points the same direction.

    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Tuco Salamanca

      11/2

      SR 98, William Buick engaged, and a stalking position in the race-shape that puts him perfectly placed to take the runner-up spot if Power Fizz clears away.

    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Al Najashi

      7/1

      SR 104 is the best raw number in the field, but the ninth last time out and 3-year-old status in a deep handicap keep him off the top spot; third is fair value for his talent.

      Missed — Finished 14th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Pocklington

      15/2

      SR 92, PJ McDonald in the saddle, and a form line showing two wins in recent starts — carries 9-12 but deserves a place slot in an honest gallop.

      Team Player

      13/2

      SR 102 is the highest in the field; the 13-115 form sequence confirms a horse peaking now. 9-1 weight is no burden at this trip for a four-year-old with a genuine staying profile.

      Missed — Finished 9th

      Predicted 2nd

      Ride The Thunder

      11/2

      SR 98, Roger Varian, and just 8-13 on his back — a horse like this in a true-run two-miler will be finishing hard. The 1442-3 form shows consistency rather than dominance; second …

      Synergism

      12/1

      SR 98 and a win last time under Sir Mark Prescott's meticulous placing — 1253-1 is the form of a horse ready for this exact test. Each-way territory at 12/1.

      Kirchner

      8/1

      SR 91 and Cieren Fallon in the saddle gives Kirchner more upside than his 434-75 form implies; at 8/1 the market sees something, and he'll stay well enough to collect minor placin…

      Arc Zoosve

      10/1

      Four-win streak (251111), 9-3 weight, and 10/1 price represent the best value-to-momentum combination in the field; Costello's ability to track through a big field is the executio…

      Predicted 2nd

      Believitanducan

      11/4

      SR of 91 is class of the field and 1/2-11 form is irrefutable; Buick will have him perfectly placed but the price has compressed too far for a 20-runner stamina handicap.

      Placed — Finished 1st
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Shrimp Shady

      4/1

      SR 93, Andrew Balding yard, and 44121 recent form make Shrimp Shady the logical pace-setter and a sturdy each-way candidate despite the 9-11 impost.

      Missed — Finished 6th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      St Faz

      11/1

      117152 form and 9-2 weight give St Faz a legitimate stamina profile at 11/1; Adrian Paul Keatley's runner is the forgotten runner in a market fixated on the top two.

      Predicted 1st

      Marvelman

      11/2

      SR 117, McDonald booked by Balding with purpose, and three placed runs before his break suggest a horse ready to graduate; pace scenario suits a hold-up ride perfectly.

      Placed — Finished 2nd
    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Diligent Harry

      3/1

      Highest SR in the field at 121 and Saffie Osborne is capable, but eight years old at level weights in a genuine gallop will find younger legs outkicking him late.

      Missed — Finished 8th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Symbol Of Honour

      13/2

      Buick-Appleby combination rarely turns up without intent; SR 104 undersells him if the Godolphin operation has targeted this and the pace collapse suits his finishing style.

      Nailed it · Finished 3rd
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Paborus

      7/1

      SR 105 and form showing a win in his penultimate run makes Paborus the most likely pace-influence to stay honest into fourth at 7/1 with Bethell's yard in decent nick.

      Supido

      11/2

      Field-leading SR of 94, a recent win on the form string, 9-5 weight manageable at this class, and William Buick in the saddle — every major signal aligns.

      Missed — Finished 7th
    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Caviar Cowboy

      11/2

      SR of 91 and four recent placings in five starts confirm consistency; the light weight of 8-2 helps in a true-run race, even if winning proves beyond a three-year-old here.

      Missed — Finished 5th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Tremolo

      17/2

      Three-win sequence gives Tremolo the form book credentials at SR 93, but a post-break return and 17/2 market caution leave too many questions to promote higher.

      Missed — Finished 6th
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Bobby Bennu

      7/2

      At 7/2 and SR 86, Bobby Bennu is overbet; setting the pace suits him but his form string of 2550-4 shows he doesn't finish the job off the front under pressure.

      A Piece Of Heaven

      6/1

      Highest SR in the field at 115, winning on most recent start, peaking at eight over a trip that plays to his strengths — the 6/1 is a gift.

      Missed — Finished 6th
    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Le Destrier

      11/4

      SR 109, Buick booked, and a form string that includes placings at this class — Mullins knows this trip and Le Destrier will be finishing strongly.

      Missed — Finished 5th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Illinois

      3/1

      SR 118 on paper but that blank last run at 3/1 is a concern — Moore will get him into the race but the form line argues third, not first.

    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      French Master

      11/2

      SR 114 and a pace-forcing role means he shapes the race — but 150-35 form under the Gosdens suggests he's consistent enough to fill a place without threatening for the win.

      Perisher

      9/1

      SR 100, 8-11, form 53-311 showing a horse in steep ascent; Buick aboard and O'Brien stable confidence — the weight advantage over every serious rival in this field is decisive.

      Placed — Finished 3rd
    2. 🥈
      Predicted 2nd

      Lost Boys

      4/1

      SR 96 and a 331-11 form sequence make this a genuine contender; the 9-2 weight is the ceiling, but James McDonald will get every last yard from him.

      Placed — Finished 1st
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Princling

      7/1

      SR 101 and 22-14 form carries significant promise; 8-11 matches Perisher's weight, and Marquand on a Haggas runner in handicap company at Ascot is not to be dismissed.

    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Evanesco

      9/1

      SR 102 heads the ratings bar Sahara King, and 617-41 form shows resilience; at 9/1 David Egan gets a live each-way claim if the pace collapses late.

      Binhareer

      4/1

      Joint-highest SR of 113, consistent placed form under a genuine gallop, Haggas-Marquand combination at a sane 4/1 — the evidence accumulates too cleanly to ignore.

      Predicted 2nd

      Far Above Dream

      14/1

      Three wins from five recent starts, SR 98, carrying a workable 9-3 — James Owen's four-year-old is the most dangerous second-string in the race.

      Placed — Finished 4th
    3. 🥉
      Predicted 3rd

      Completely Random

      12/1

      Ryan Moore at 12/1 is a signal that demands respect; SR 101 and the lightest competitive weight at 9-2 gives Harry Charlton's runner genuine place claims.

      Placed — Finished 2nd
    4. 4
      Predicted 4th

      Double Rush

      9/2

      SR 113 and a 320-11 form string confirm the class, but 9-9 in a field this wide is a brutal ask and Shane Foley will need everything to go right from the front.

      Into The Sky

      5/1

      SR 115 leads the proven form runners; Oisin Murphy's Ascot record is the best in the field and the strong pace set by Colori Forever plays directly to his off-the-pace running sty…

      Predicted 2nd

      Saber Strike

      15/8

      SR 120 is the highest in the field and Haggas horses rarely turn up unprepared — he'll run a big race, but 15/8 on an unproven form line is too short to beat a horse with a sterne…

      Catullus

      8/1

      A last-time-out winner (form reads 14-271) under Buick, SR 108, and a pace map that suits a horse who travels midfield and finishes — the market underestimates him at 8/1.

      The Prettiest Star

      15/2

      SR 114, James Doyle booked, and a 9-0 weight advantage over the boys — she's trained by Ed Walker who knows how to place a filly fresh off a form line of 12-4 at a price.
