Senor Blues
10/3SR 154 leads all horses with racecourse evidence; Charlton yard at 23% in the past fortnight backs it up. Market drift is the only negative and it's not enough to offset those sig…

🥈Predicted 2nd
Quorum
6/1Haggas at 23% and James Doyle at 21% career strike rate is a dangerous first-run combination; SR 149 is credible, but debutant status keeps him off the top slot.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Sole Ambition
11/4SR 156 is the field's highest and two thirds suggest consistency, but controlling the pace from the front in a 15-runner field at a declining class level is a tough assignment.
-

Maxton
8/1Jane Chapple-Hyam's yard is the hottest in the race at 31% over 14 days; SR 148 is competitive and Rossa Ryan at 18% adds jockey quality at 8/1.

Castlemont
9/2Top of the deterministic model, steaming market move, Appleby yard at 59% — and Loughnane has ridden this horse to two straight wins. The drift on stablemate Fortitudine only rein…
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Kokbastau
13/8SR 118, highest in the field, four wins from last five, and Varian's yard at 20%. If the Appleby pair burn each other up front, Kokbastau's hold-up style gives him the ideal closi…

🥉Predicted 3rd
Fortitudine
7/4Two wins from two is not nothing, but a market drift in a four-runner field is a real negative signal; SR 117 is solid but the money is clearly on stablemate Castlemont within the…

4Predicted 4th
Archers Bay
6/1SR 108 is the weakest figure in the field and the class jump of two levels is a significant ask; Ryan Moore booking adds interest but the raw data does not support placing here.

Talk of New York
1/2SR 135 leads the field by 16 points; Appleby yard at 59%, Buick at 25%, steaming into 1/2 on confirmed distance and going. Controls from the front and nothing here can live with t…
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
The Lost King
13/2SR 117, steaming in the market, Murphy aboard at 22%, good-ground confirmation — the most credible danger, though 18 SR points behind the winner is a real gap at this level.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Persica
15/2SR 119 leads all rivals bar Talk of New York and The Lost King; form string 252131 shows consistency, but going uncertainty on good ground is a nagging concern for third.
-
4Predicted 4th
Hankelow
12/1SR 103, Burke's yard at 17%, good-ground confirmed — modest profile but the each-way price at 12/1 makes this the stand-out value outsider in a thin field.

Speed of Sound
13/2Model's top pick at 6.83, proven at the distance, steaming in the market, and a 32131 form string shows consistent front-end ability. The class rise of one level is priced in at 1…
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Light of Dawn
4/1SR 114 heads the field on ratings, distance proven, and James Doyle's 21% career strike rate is the best jockey number in the race. The drift hurts but the merit is genuine.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Pensando A Te
8/1Steaming to 8/1 with form showing a run as favourite last time; SR 96 is competitive and the market move today is the sharpest directional signal among the outsiders.
-
4Predicted 4th
Spirited Gesture
15/8Unbeaten in two but jumping two class levels with unresolved going fitness — the drift from 15/8 for the market's implied favourite is a red flag that keeps her out of the frame.

🥇Predicted 1st
Prizeland
10/3Sole hold-up horse in a three-way pace battle; SR 115, Balding at 19%, Murphy at 22%, and a 15-day turnaround that signals a yard confident of a peak performance.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Coedana
9/2Model's top pick at SR 115 with the strongest steamer signal in the field; Edward Bethell's filly has the form and distance fit to chase Prizeland home.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Inis Mor
5/2SR 121 — the highest in the field — and the lightest weight at 8-12; Ryan Moore's 24% strike rate keeps her honest even with going uncertainty clouding the case.
-
4Predicted 4th
Francophone
6/1Steaming from 50/1 to 6/1 with James Doyle (21%) aboard is too loud a market signal to ignore; SR 101 is workmanlike but the money says something has changed.

Alobayyah
7/2SR 107 leads the field, Haggas firing at 23%, and Marquand's booking is purposeful. A contested pace suits a horse returning to the mile with positive distance fit.
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Estissa
4/1SR 105, positive distance and going flags, Oisin Murphy at 22% career strike rate — the form line 121334 shows consistent involvement at this level.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Lizzana
7/1Front-running style risks burning fuel against Song N Dance, but SR 102 and positive going fit keep her in the frame for a place in a contested gallop.
-
4Predicted 4th
Arisaig
4/1SR 104, identified hold-up style on a pace-honest card — Jamie Spencer will get a tow into the race; the distance flag is neutral rather than negative.

Media Legend
9/2SR 79 is the field ceiling, Murphy at 22% and Charlton's hot yard at 20% are the two strongest combined signals in the race. Distance fits, pace scenario suits a hold-up finisher …
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Signcastle City
7/1SR 78 with a class drop and a matching speed score to the winner. Joe Leavy's 12% strike rate is modest but Hannon's yards can fire at bigger prices than the market implies.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Cancan In The Rain
17/2The steamer signal is genuine and the 5lb weight drop is a real positive; an absent trainer record stops this going higher despite the model's top ranking.
-
4Predicted 4th
A La Noche
9/2William Buick at 25% is the second-best jockey booking on the card; the 7lb weight rise is a concern but Buick has the ability to compensate with placement.

Astracornus
3/1Top of the deterministic model at 6.47, strongest market move in the field, and the weight advantage over King of Berkshire is twelve pounds over a staying trip. Form trend is upw…
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
King of Berkshire
13/8SR:91 is the highest in the field and Murphy's 22% strike rate is elite, but a six-pound weight rise and a price of 13/8 leave little room for error against a steaming rival.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Zurna
10/1SR:85, form of 97211 ending in back-to-back wins, and the lightest weight among the main contenders at 9-7 gives Zurna each-way claims at 10/1.
-
4Predicted 4th
Charles Darnay
6/1Form of 5311 is compelling but 115 days off the track, a drifting market, and a trainer striking at 10% limit confidence; fourth is generous given the absence.

Gregory
5/6SR 117 is the class of the field by a wide margin, distance and going both positive, and James Doyle's 21% career strike rate backs the booking. The drift to 5/6 is modest, not al…
-
🥈Predicted 2nd
Goblet of Fire
7/2SR 94, weight relief of 4lb, and genuine distance and going fit make this the clearest danger — the class rise of two levels caps the ceiling but not the place claim at 7/2.
-
🥉Predicted 3rd
Arabian Force
7/1Haggas at 21% yard strike rate and 11 days' freshness give Arabian Force a fitness edge; SR 102 outranks Goblet of Fire but the triple-defeat form string is a concrete drag.
-
4Predicted 4th
Kelly Burn
25/1Form string reads 521511 — strong recent wins at lower level — and Fanshawe's yard is at 20% in the last fortnight, but the three-class rise is a step too far today.

Varzi
17/2SR 100 is the joint-highest in the race, dual-favourite form from his first two starts shows class, and at 17/2 the market has already priced the fifth-place run — he closes harde…

🥉Predicted 3rd
Undiscovered
9/1The steaming market move is real and Rossa Ryan's 18% strike rate backs it, but the hold-up profile in a front-runner's race limits him to third at best.
-
4Predicted 4th
Great Balls O'Fire
3/1SR 99 and a winning debut are on his CV but the 33-day gap, the drift in the market, and one solitary form line against rivals with two or three runs make him a narrow fourth.
