Front-running and effective at Stratford, he took a handicap here last time by a length — benefiting from a positive ride over this trip — off a mark 3lb lower; well suited by these conditions and back in form, he is the one to beat.
AI verdict

Consistent recent form (652-21) and competitive 13/8 odds support a strong 116 Saturday Rating despite carrying top weight 12-0.

Down the field at Roscommon last time, hampered late and out of her element on soft ground, today’s better surface offers some relief; handles around 2m, but a strong run of form in recent starts is absent and the first-time cheekpieces will need to make a marked difference.
AI verdict

Long odds of 22/1, poor form figures of 8-7749, and a Saturday Rating of 80 make Katherine an unlikely contender.

His Aintree flop is best excused as a likely fitness run, and earlier form over 2m on sound ground tells a different story; back on conditions that suit, he rates a solid threat, though 45 days between runs remains the key query.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 101 and inconsistent form (313F-7) at 11-8 weight justify a mid-tier 3/5 assessment at 11/2 odds.

Suited by 2m on good ground and these conditions look right, but his Southwell effort last time — well held at the finish despite keeping tabs — underlines he needs improvement to land this; the first-time tongue-tie could sharpen things.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-6 with poor recent form of 85-065 and a Saturday Rating of just 70 at 40/1 makes Pahlavi a weak proposition.

Third at Plumpton most recently, unable to sustain the early pace but plugging on to finish 4¼l back, he remains in fair nick over 2m on good ground; the first-time hood adds interest but he faces a stiff task on our figures.
AI verdict

Reteti's mid-range Saturday Rating of 96 and inconsistent form figures of 245-23 justify a moderate 3-star rating at 5/1 carrying 11-3.

Shaped with promise at Worcester last time before flattening out late, the suspicion being that 2m4f stretched him; dropping to 2m here should play to his strengths, and with the trainer in strong form and the tongue-tie added, he commands respect despite being yet to score.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-12 with inconsistent form (45-U24) and a Saturday Rating of 102 limits confidence despite 2/1 odds.

Juan Bermudez
Confidence: Medium

Juan Bermudez (SR 116, 13/8) holds the highest rating in the field by a clear margin and arrives on the back of a 2-1 sequence that confirms peak form — the rightmost digits showing a win last time out is the strongest possible current-form signal. Carrying 12-0 is a burden, but on good-to-firm ground at this trip the weight penalty matters far less than it would in softer conditions, and his SR 116 gives him a meaningful edge over the entire field. Henry Oliver's runner commands market confidence at 13/8 as the clear favourite, and that price has not drifted, suggesting professional money is behind him. Playful Fox (SR 102) at 2/1 is the obvious danger but carries an unseat in recent form and sits 14lbs SR below Juan Bermudez, making the favourite hard to oppose. Each-way alternative: Reteti. Main danger: Playful Fox — Playful Fox (SR 102, 2/1) carries a favourable 10-12 and the market is bullish on the Dan Skelton-trained 4-year-old, who has the lbs-advantage on top-weight Juan Bermudez and could exploit that weight edge if the favourite is below peak on the day.
