Landing a handicap at Bath by 2l last time off a mark 5lb lower, moving up through the field in good style, Station Bar handles 6-8f on good and artificial ground; the 5lb rise in the weights is the question.

Produced a sound effort at Lingfield last time despite a slow start, going down by just over 3l off a slightly higher mark, and Ritaal handles 7-8f effectively; first-time cheekpieces applied here. Our figures put her below the top horses in the race and she needs more to win.

Progressive and coming off back-to-back wins, Pentonville landed a handicap at Brighton last time off a mark 6lb lower, finishing strongly to score, and top course connections add further confidence; effective at 1m-10f on a sound surface. A penalty makes the task harder and he needs to handle the rise in the weights.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-5 with a Saturday Rating of 91 and short odds of 4/9, recent form -25211 shows inconsistency despite two wins.

The reappearance run at Thirsk was below his best but that run can be forgiven, and Napolian has consistently been in the frame in recent starts over 6f on today's type of going; if he bounces back to form he looks a genuine danger. Second-ranked on our figures with solid placed form is a strong foundation.
AI verdict

Napolian's mid-range Saturday Rating of 76 and inconsistent form figures of 2334-8 justify a modest 3-star rating at 5/1 carrying 9-9.

Returning from a 132-day break and likely to need it, Venturing showed some ability in a maiden when fourth at Dundalk, having been supported in the market; effective at 1m on artificial ground and heavy going, which raises questions about today's fast surface.
AI verdict

Venturing's modest Saturday Rating of 67, unfancied 13/2 odds, and inconsistent form figure of 79-4 justify only 2 stars.

SP FCST 15/2
Beaten 10l after a slow start last time, which was well below his best, Norcross Brow is effective at 7-8f on good to soft and artificial ground and comes from a trainer in strong form; off a break of 70 days he will need to bounce back sharply, but the mark is fair if he does.
AI verdict

Carrying 9-2 with a Saturday Rating of just 64, inconsistent form (8-2468), and unfancied at 8/1, Norcross Brow offers little appeal.

Pentonville
Confidence: High

Pentonville (SR 91, 4/9) is the clear class leader in this field, with an SR advantage of 15 points over the next best Napolian (SR 76). The recent form string -25211 shows back-to-back wins coming into today, demonstrating peak current form. Although carrying top-weight at 10-5, the SR gap is so large over this small four-runner field that the weight burden is comfortably absorbed — the nearest rival Napolian at 9-9 is conceding just 10lb but gives away a 15-point SR deficit, meaning Pentonville retains a clear class edge. G Boughey is a sharp trainer and a horse winning consecutive races represents a live, in-form contender at a fair price for the class of contest. Each-way alternative: Napolian. Main danger: Napolian — Napolian (SR 76, 5/1) receives 10lb from Pentonville and, while recent form has been modest (2334-8), the weight concession in a tight four-runner field gives D O'Meara's charge a genuine chance of running into second at minimum, and an upset if Pentonville fails to reproduce back-to-back winning form.
