A useful performer over fences, he arrives over hurdles having finished down the field at Stratford most recently in what appeared a conditioning run. Both a tongue-tie and visor appear on him for the first time; the going suits but others arrive here with considerably better recent form.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 12-0 with a poor form string of 35PP-9 and 66/1 odds, Great d'Ange's Saturday Rating of 63 offers no winning case.

Won here by 8 lengths on his penultimate start and that course-and-distance form looks solid; his most recent run can be forgiven as he was caught in a slowly-run race that simply did not suit. First-time cheekpieces accompany him today and he is well suited by the extra distance on good ground.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 11-11 with a modest Saturday Rating of 88 and inconsistent form of 857-15 limits confidence at 13/2.

With experience between the flags and now starting out for a new yard, he steps out in first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces having been pulled up on his most recent rules appearance in Ireland. The trainer is in good form and the break since then is a positive; however, he has plenty to prove under rules.
AI verdict

Moderate Saturday Rating of 90 and inconsistent form (P72-2P) limit confidence despite attractive 2/1 odds and 11-9 weight.

Well beaten at Taunton on his most recent hurdles return and back from a short break, he switches back to fences today which looks his better sphere. Effective at today's distance and conditions; the key question is whether he can produce a much-improved performance after a run of poor efforts.
AI verdict

Weak Saturday Rating of 70, poor recent form (32PP7-), and 12/1 odds signal little market confidence in Mcgregors Charge.

Back to his best last time at Uttoxeter, grinding out a handicap victory by just over a length off a lower mark. Form has been inconsistent, but the confidence from that success could carry through; effective at today's distance and going.
AI verdict

Daring Plan's mid-tier Saturday Rating of 81 and burdensome 10-13 weight offset promising recent form of 352-U1 at 11/2.

Off the track for over six months, having been pulled up at Fakenham last time on soft ground that did not suit him. He is a more reliable performer on sounder surfaces over fences, and today's conditions are more amenable; a tongue-tie is also added, though the lengthy absence remains a concern.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-13, rated just 79, and drifting at 12/1 in the market, his form ending in a pull-up makes him a risky outsider.

Below his best on his most recent hurdles start at Ffos Las, making jumping errors and well held throughout. He could be better suited returning to fences and the first-time visor is of interest; effective at the trip but needs to improve significantly on recent form to be competitive.
AI verdict

Blackacre's Saturday Rating of 75, 8/1 odds, and poor form including a fall suggest limited winning prospects under 10-8.

Third most recently at Bangor-on-Dee, fading late back up in trip, beaten 3 lengths off his current mark. Effective at today's distance and suited by a sound surface, both of which apply here; first-time tongue-tie and cheekpieces are added. Rated eighth of eight on our figures.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 89 and inconsistent form (154-63) at 10-7 weight justify a mid-tier 3/5 despite strong 9/4 market support.

Radharc Na Slaine
Confidence: Medium

Radharc Na Slaine (SR 89, 9/4) carries a favourable 10-7 — the lightest weight in the field — and pairs that weight advantage with the second-best SR in the race, giving a genuine lbs edge over market rival Longhouse Star (SR 90, 11-9, 2/1). The form string 154-63 shows consistent finishing; the 3 last time out on what figures to be a similar trip and going profile keeps this horse firmly in contention. At 9/4 the market is confident, and the weight-SR combination is the most attractive in the race: carrying 16lb less than top-weight Great d'Ange while conceding only 1 SR point to Longhouse Star is a compelling structural edge over 3m1f on good ground. Each-way alternative: Longhouse Star. Main danger: Longhouse Star — Longhouse Star (SR 90, 2/1) is the SR-leader trained by S Curling — a yard associated with staying chasers — and its 2 last time out (second) shows it is finishing its races, making it the most credible threat to beat the selection if the weight concession proves less significant over this stamina-testing trip.
