Ranked third on our figures, he carries 138 lb from stall 1 and has course-and-distance experience; usually held up, he couldn't make an impact from off the pace in a handicap here last time, and despite sliding down the weights he has been finding handicaps tough of late.

A Saturday Rating of 47, poor form reading 477-70, and 12/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects carrying 9-12.
Tongue-tie applied for the first time as he returns from 23 days off; has placed consistently at this trip and goes on any surface, but was well beaten at Bath last time when below his best, and a bounce-back is needed — the trainer's recent record is also a concern.

Carrying top weight of 9-11 with a weak Saturday Rating of 42, poor recent form of 053538, and 16/1 odds reflect limited winning prospects.
Landed a classified race here at seven furlongs last time by three-quarters of a length, needing every stride of the trip on the AW — a positive note from a trainer in form — but has been inconsistent overall and needs to build on that effort stepping back into a handicap.

✦AI verdict
A Saturday Rating of 58 and inconsistent form (893491) at 9-10 weight suggest mid-range claims at 5/1.
Returning from a lengthy 149-day absence, he is the lowest-rated in this field on our figures, with recent efforts at a consistently modest level — well beaten in a novice at Southwell last time; he remains lightly exposed at this trip but must show considerably more to be competitive here.

Splinterwood's Saturday Rating of 48 and poor form figures of 7-67 offer little hope despite fair 17/2 odds.
Wearing a hood for the first time from stall 12, she handles this trip and surface but was well down the field in a handicap at Chepstow last time — needing a substantial improvement; ranked 12th on our figures, she faces a stiff ask here.

Saturday Rating of 37, weak form reading 649-49, and 18/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects under 9-7.
Tongue-tie tried for the first time as he returns from an 87-day break, rated 62 by us and ranked fourth in this field, effective over a range of trips on any surface; he was badly below form at Dundalk last time and must show the rest has done him good — trainer form is modest.

A Saturday Rating of 50, weak form of /06/20, and 10/1 odds suggest Will Be King carries 9-6 with little winning chance.
First-time blinkers as he returns to handicaps, rated 61 by us and sixth in this field; at his best on the AW over this sort of trip, he ran on for a 2¼-length third in a classified race here last time and is on a fair mark — though his habit of finishing on from off the pace means he is not always prominent early.

A Saturday Rating of 48 and poor form reading -57703 at 9/1 offers minimal winning confidence despite a manageable 9-6 weight.
Cheekpieces applied for the first time, she handles 8-10 furlongs on soft and AW but was well beaten at Chepstow last time — over eight lengths adrift in a handicap — and needs to show she can recapture the form that brought her a win earlier in recent starts.

Lhebayeb's lowly Saturday Rating of 38, poor form figures of 591609, and 16/1 odds signal a negligible winning chance.
Beaten four lengths in a classified race here last time, performing at her level on the AW; effective over this trip on various surfaces and with a trainer in form, she nevertheless ranks 11th on our figures and has been unable to land a race across her last six outings.

Rated just 45 with inconsistent form (733295) and unfancied at 9/1, Lady Delila offers little confidence under 9-4.
Wearing a visor for the first time, she handles this trip and surface and her trainer has a strong record at this course — genuine positives; but she was well beaten at Brighton last time, below her best despite some excuse, and needs to show improved form to threaten here.

A Saturday Rating of 38, poor form reading 717699, and 14/1 odds signal minimal winning prospects here.
Top-rated on our figures at 67 and returning just eight days after finishing second in a maiden here, she came through strongly despite taking a wide path — beaten three lengths — and handles the AW over this trip; the step into a handicap is the key test.

✦AI verdict
Carrying top weight of 9-2 with inconsistent form (059492) and a modest Saturday Rating of 64 limits confidence despite fair 3/1 odds.
Landed a win whose form has been given a positive assessment, but ran well below her best last time — seventh beaten 13 lengths off 55, the same mark as today; she handles the AW over this trip but needs to rediscover the form of that breakthrough effort to be involved.

Moderate Saturday Rating of 59 and inconsistent form (8-5017) at 8/1 suggest limited winning prospects.
Returning from a 112-day break for a strong course trainer, rated 64 by us — second in this field — with course-and-distance form; he went too freely and failed to get home last time here in a handicap, beaten six lengths, and may benefit from a drop back to seven furlongs.

Midnight Media holds the highest SR in the field at 64, a clear advantage over the next-best Starakova (SR:59) and Mythical Isle (SR:58), and drops two class tiers (ClassMv:↓2) which represents a significant opportunity against this Class 6 field. Carrying only 9-2 — the joint-lightest weight among the leading SR horses — means the ability edge is compounded by a favourable weight-to-quality ratio. The market has firmed 10% to 3/1 favourite, confirming professional confidence, and a return after just 8 days suggests connections are targeting this race specifically. The recent form string of 059492 shows a '2' last time out at higher class, meaning this horse has the form to win at this level.
Each-way alternative: Starakova.
Main danger: Mythical Isle — Mythical Isle (SR:58, 5/1) arrives on the back of a last-start win at the same class with strong course form (W1P4 at Wolverhampton) and is the Patrick Morris yard's likely #1 runner given the more experienced jockey booking, making it the most plausible spoiler despite a 4lb mark rise.
