Hit the line well to land a handicap at Brighton by a length ten days ago, Oj Lifestyle arrives in sharp form and goes well at this track. Suited to this trip and ground, the addition of tongue-tie and cheekpieces adds interest and the yard is in good order.
AI verdict

SR 70 suggests ability but 5/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Back-to-back handicap wins show Imperial Cult in fine fettle, and he landed his most recent at Kempton by three lengths displaying a willing attitude. Effective over a range of distances, he will want a positive ride here as this trip is towards the shorter end of his range.
AI verdict

SR 74 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Suited to this distance and surface, Bobacious was successful at Epsom last year over this course and distance and enjoys forcing the pace. His recent efforts have been modest — winless in his last five — and he was a shade below his best when fourth at Lingfield latest.
AI verdict

SR 61 suggests ability but 15/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Landed a handicap at Windsor last time out by a length off a reduced mark, Hello Cotai appears to have returned to his best form and remains competitively positioned. He handles any going and is suited to this trip, making him a solid danger.
AI verdict

SR 71 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Without a win in his last six starts, Super Hit tracked the pace when fourth at Redcar last time, performing at his level over a distance that suits, though beaten by a wide margin. First-time hood and tongue-tie are a new angle, and conditions here are fine.
AI verdict

SR 56 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

In fair recent trim, Mrembo ran her race last time when fourth beaten only 1½l off this same mark, and she returns to identical conditions. Effective over this distance and at her best on a sound surface, the fitting of first-time cheekpieces adds an angle.
AI verdict

SR 64 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Showed a tendency to pull hard but kept on for third at Windsor on his most recent outing, 55 days ago, and there is scope to build on that with first-time cheekpieces fitted. He handles this trip and ground, though the lengthy absence means he will need to show his peak fitness.
AI verdict

SR 51 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 14/1.

Well beaten at Lingfield last time out, ten lengths adrift of the winner, Haveagobeau needs a meaningful improvement to figure here. He does handle this trip and probably acts on most surfaces, but he is the lowest-rated runner on our figures and requires a significant step forward.
AI verdict

SR 38 suggests ability but 28/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Performed to his level at Brighton last time when fifth, beaten 4½l, and this trip and ground suit him well enough. Yet to score in recent starts, he is capable of keeping on for minor honours if conditions fall right but faces a competitive field.
AI verdict

SR 40 suggests ability but 18/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
