Landed a race at Southwell off a lower mark earlier in the campaign and ran his race again last time, going down by 3 lengths from the same mark; first-time cheekpieces and a trainer in form strengthen Bomb Squad’s case as a clear danger.

✦AI verdict
Consistent form of 216213 and competitive 9/2 odds support a mid-tier 74 Saturday Rating carrying 9-9.
Hampered by interference last time here, Pearly Squirrel found the pace flagging late on and was beaten 3¼ lengths off 1lb above today’s mark; the trip back down is welcomed and she handles any surface, so that excused effort is worth bearing in mind.

Carrying top weight of 9-8 with inconsistent form (133035) and a modest Saturday Rating of 64 limits confidence despite fair 5/1 odds.
Went close last time, beaten just half a length on a mark 1lb below today’s; previously landed a race at this track off a lower mark and he handles the surface well, but Split Elevens sits low on our figures despite the respectable recent run.

Rated 70 with solid recent form (745412) and fair 7/2 odds, but 9-8 weight limits upside in a competitive handicap.
Showing her best form at shorter trips, Skellig Isle found the going softer than ideal at Yarmouth last time and tired in the closing stages; she can be inconsistent but has the ability to be involved when conditions suit, and the inside draw is useful.

✦AI verdict
Skellig Isle's mid-tier Saturday Rating of 63, modest 5/1 odds, and uninspiring -15444 form carrying 9-8 justify a cautious 3/5 rating.
Back to some form last time here over course and distance, Harbour Vision tops our figures and first-time blinkers could help him build on that performance; he is a tricky customer, though, and a cold trainer run of form introduces some doubt.

Rated just 48 with weak 009003 form and sent off at 16/1, Harbour Vision lacks the market confidence or rating to compete.
Despite suffering early interference last time here, Cooramook came down beaten only 3 lengths off a mark 1lb above today’s — arguably a better effort than the bare result suggests; first-time blinkers and a top course jockey boost her claims after a short break.

Rated just 53 with poor recent form of -49436 and dismissed by the market at 12/1, Cooramook offers little winning hope.
Landed a race here off a lower mark earlier in the season, but Faster Bee ran very free last time and was beaten 14 lengths; he handles this surface and trip and wears first-time tongue-tie after a short break, though the revised mark needs more.

✦AI verdict
Faster Bee's weak recent form (120419), low Saturday Rating of 59, and 9/1 odds suggest limited winning prospects here.
Went off too freely when stepped up in trip here last time and failed to stay, beaten 10 lengths; Clover Time arrives with a cold trainer run and is ranked last on our figures, though first-time cheekpieces and an easing mark are minor positives after a short break.

✦AI verdict
A Saturday Rating of 51, weak form (-26458), and 12/1 odds signal limited winning prospects in this handicap.
Ran to form here last time from a mark 1lb above today’s, going down by 2 lengths; Lessay has been in better form in recent outings and handles the surface well over this trip, with first-time cheekpieces a potential aid.

✦AI verdict
A Saturday Rating of 55, poor recent form (450726), and unfavoured market position at 15/2 make Lessay an unconvincing contender.
Won over course and distance last time by three-quarters of a length, digging deep to last home; Mythical Isle can blow hot and cold but is still lightly campaigned at 7f on the all-weather and must back up that display in handicap company.

Bomb Squad (SR 74, 9/2) is the clear SR leader in this field by 4 points over Split Elevens and carries 9-9 — not a punishing weight by Wolverhampton AW standards. His form string 216213 is the most consistently competitive in the race, showing he repeatedly finishes in the first three and posted a win last time out (rightmost digit 3, second-to-last 1). John Mackie's runner is trading at the second-shortest price in the field, suggesting market alignment with the rating. The combination of best SR, consistent form, and market confidence provides multiple converging signals.
Each-way alternative: Split Elevens.
Main danger: Split Elevens — Split Elevens (SR 70, 7/2) is the market favourite and his form string 745412 shows a recent second followed by a win, giving him strong live form at a competitive weight of 9-8, making him the most likely horse to deny Bomb Squad.
