33/1 50/1 28/1
A win three starts back, over today's trip and going, underlines this gelding's ability, and he now steps up in first-time cheekpieces that could sharpen him further; the obvious query is a marathon absence of some 600 days, even though he tops our figures here.
AI verdict

Sent off at 50/1 with a Saturday Rating of just 69 and a form string showing a recent last-place finish, Daysofourlives offers no winning case.

Three wins feature across his last six starts, including a success last time out over today's trip and going, though two well-beaten efforts in between temper the overall picture; fitted with a first-time tongue-tie today, he rates a fair midfield contender fit again 20 days on.
AI verdict

Weight of 10-1 limits upside despite solid form of 187101 and a competitive Saturday Rating of 96 at 9/2.

22/1 25/1 18/1
Proven over today's trip and going, this gelding heads into first-time cheekpieces that could help revive the form he showed when runner-up four starts back; three below-par efforts since, including a lack-lustre run last time, are the clear risk to weigh up.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight 10-1 at 28/1 with a Saturday Rating of 63 and inconsistent form 12-060 makes Hickory uncompetitive.

Runner-up in two of his last five starts, with today's trip and going both already proven, this gelding has been knocking on the door and a first-time tongue-tie could supply the spark he needs. Still yet to win in recent form, that remains the obvious question.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 10-0 with a modest Saturday Rating of 84 and inconsistent form of 052-82 limits confidence at 15/2.

33/1 22/1 28/1
A seventh last time, the best of a string of below-par recent efforts, came with both today's trip and going already proven, and a rapid 14-day turnaround underpins him as our selection on profile and fitness; he remains without a win in recent form, the obvious caveat.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 60, poor form of 000-07, and 28/1 odds confirm the market holds little confidence in Ancient Rome.

A win three starts back shows this gelding retains some ability, but his last two runs have both ended unplaced, a concerning recent trend; fit again 20 days on with today's trip and going both already proven, he rates no better than a fringe contender on this evidence.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-12 at 12/1 with patchy form (073100) and a modest Saturday Rating of 77 limits confidence.

Frequently among the frame - three seconds and a third in his last five starts - this gelding has been knocking on the door, and first-time visor could finally help him break through; his only blip came last time out, 34 days ago, and he remains without a win in recent form.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-12 with a modest Saturday Rating of 88 and inconsistent form of 2-2320 limits appeal at 15/2.

SP 11/1 20/1
Two wins feature among his last six starts, but form has tailed off with a below-par sixth last time out, and only today's trip, not the going, has been proven; a yard winless from 32 runners in the past fortnight adds to the concerns.
AI verdict

Shafdar's inconsistent form (120106), high 12/1 odds, and Saturday Rating of 80 make this 9-9 weighted runner an unlikely winner.

Back-to-back wins in his last two starts, with today's trip and going both suited, make for a tidy recent record, but his rating leaves him towards the bottom of this field, so he'll need to find more to trouble the principals; first-time cheekpieces are the card left to play.
AI verdict

Recent form (2-7411) shows a win but inconsistency, and 9/1 odds with 9-7 weight limits confidence despite a solid Saturday Rating of 89.

A win three starts back is the highlight of a modest recent sequence otherwise made up of finishes between fourth and seventh, with today's trip and going both already proven; fit again 21 days on, he looks capable of another respectable placing rather than troubling the principals.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-4 with inconsistent form (551-74) and a Saturday Rating of 93 at 13/2 suggests limited winning prospects.

A win five starts back is the standout in a mixed recent sequence otherwise packed with modest finishes, including a below-par sixth last time out; with both today's trip and going proven and a rating that places him near the foot of this field, he looks held on these figures.
AI verdict

Carrying 9-1 with modest Saturday Rating of 79, patchy form (316236), and 10/1 odds signal market skepticism.

A win last time out came as long ago as 612 days, leaving this colt untested for the best part of two years and the outsider of this field on our figures; today's trip has been navigated before, but he needs to prove his readiness after such a lengthy absence.
AI verdict

Carrying top weight of 9-1 at 28/1 odds with a modest Saturday Rating of 65 makes Tawajjah a difficult selection.

Two wins in his last three starts, with today's trip and going also proven, make for an eye-catching recent record, but his figures lag well behind the leading contenders here; fit again 33 days on, he remains hard to fancy purely on that gap.
AI verdict

Shipbourne's strong 13-1 form, competitive 7/2 odds, and Saturday Rating of 100 justify four stars despite carrying 9-0.

A fourth last time, his best recent effort in a string of below-par runs, came with today's trip and going both already proven; our figures rate him well clear of his official mark, suggesting more to come, though he remains winless in recent form.
AI verdict

A Saturday Rating of 56 and uninspiring form of 0070-4 at 33/1 make Longlai a very unlikely winner.

A win last time out capped a progressive sequence that improved from a below-par ninth through to third, third and second, with both today's trip and going long since proven; he's down towards the bottom on our figures here, so sustaining that upward curve is the obvious ask.
AI verdict

Inconsistent form (9-3321) and a Saturday Rating of 91 at 8-10 weight make 15/2 odds a fair but unconvincing market position.

Shipbourne
Confidence: Medium

Shipbourne (SR 100, 7/2) is the highest-rated runner in the field by a clear margin and carries a featherweight 9-0, a significant advantage over most rivals. The form string '13-1' shows a last-time-out win and a sequence of consistent performances — 1-3-1 in essence — at what is a class step up (ClassMv:↑1), which the horse has navigated confidently. Ralph Beckett (17% career SR, 807 runners) is a trainer who regularly targets competitive Newmarket handicaps with well-prepared horses, and Hector Crouch (17%, 724 runners) is a reliable booking who knows the track. The mark is only 3lb higher than the last win (MarkMv:+3), which is a minimal impost for the form shown, and at 7/2 in a 15-runner field the market has it right at the head of affairs without the price being compressed to unattractive levels. Each-way alternative: The Joker. Main danger: Spanish Voice — Spanish Voice (SR 96, 9/2) brings course form (W1P1 at Newmarket), Ryan Moore in the saddle at a 28% career strike rate, and a last-time-out win in his form string, making him the most likely horse to overhaul Shipbourne despite carrying 10-1.
