Back to form in a new headgear combination at Windsor last time, beaten one-and-a-half lengths off this mark, and he is suited by the distance and going — Amorim is a genuine threat stepping back up to 7f. Yet to score in his last five starts, but the stable has taken this race before.
AI verdict

Amorim's moderate form of 348-03 and burdensome 9-10 weight offset his competitive 92 Saturday Rating and 7/4 market position.

Placed at Windsor last time off a 3lb lower mark and has also landed a win over 6f in his last three — Marengo Storm arrives with momentum and looks capable of improvement stepping up to today's extra furlong. His form is solid at the shorter trip and the longer distance appears to be in his favour.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight 9-6 with a Saturday Rating of 95 and inconsistent 512 form limits confidence despite fair 7/4 odds.

Two wins in his last five, stays 7f, and acts on a sound surface — Hardy's Hero shaped well in third at Lingfield on his most recent outing and looks the one to beat here with his trainer in good form. Conditions are ideal and he looks likely to go well again.
AI verdict

Strong Saturday Rating of 97 and consistent form (115-23) justify 4/5 stars despite 9-4 weight and 2/1 market price.

Hardy's Hero
Confidence: Medium

Hardy's Hero holds the top SR (97) in the field and carries the lightest weight at 9-4, giving him a meaningful lbs advantage over Amorim (9-10) and Marengo Storm (9-6). His form string 115-23 shows two wins and consistent placing at this level, with a recent return to form via a third and second placing suggesting he is coming back to his peak. William Haggas is one of the shrewdest handlers in British racing, and the four-star AI probability rating sets Hardy's Hero apart from his rivals who share three stars each. At 2/1 in a three-runner field where he holds both the ratings edge and the weight advantage, this is a straightforward call. Each-way alternative: Marengo Storm. Main danger: Marengo Storm — Marengo Storm's last-time-out win (form ending in 2 then 1, reading right to left) shows he arrives in good order, and at 9-6 he carries just 2lb more than Hardy's Hero — a narrow enough weight margin to be overcome if Richard Hughes produces a well-timed front-running display.
