Dalamara (SR 43, 9-7) holds the highest Saturday Rating in the field and the form string 71-424 shows a win and a second in recent memory, suggesting she is capable of winning at this level. The weight of 9-7 is manageable and sits below top-weight Mountbatten (9-9), giving her a small lbs advantage over a horse with a weaker SR of 39. Ben Haslam is a competent handler of AW handicappers and the 1m4f14y trip at Southwell suits a horse whose form shows she stays. This is a genuinely weak heat where SR 43 represents a meaningful edge over a field where four rivals are rated 36-39.
Each-way alternative: Spirit Dreamer.
Main danger: Spirit Dreamer — Spirit Dreamer (SR 41, 9-8) has the second-strongest SR in the field and a form string of 672 showing an upward trajectory with a recent second, meaning Andrew Balding's runner is clearly progressing and could overturn a narrow ratings deficit.
