Won two starts back but could only manage 5th last time. Proven over today's trip and going, though our 65 rating and a big weight of 142 lb from the inside draw leave him with something to find in this company.
AI verdict

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

A fine spell of placed form headlines this profile, including two runner-up efforts, and the figures rate it second-best of this field at 70. Proven over today's trip and going, though a 184-day layoff since is the obvious concern.
AI verdict

SR 39 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 22/1.

Won three starts back but has since dropped away, 8th two starts back and 9th last time. Handles today's trip and going, but the yard is cold (0/20 last 14 days) and our 62 rating leaves him mid-pack at best.
AI verdict

SR 45 suggests ability but 22/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Model of consistency, with four thirds in the last six starts and rarely out of the frame. Effective over today's trip and going, rated 69 on our figures — third-best in this field — though still yet to win despite that reliability.

Bounced back to be runner-up last time out, a big step up from moderate form before that. Tops this field on our figures at 72, backing it up quickly after just 7 days, though the mixed sequence leaves a slight consistency doubt.

Fourth last time and running into form, with a couple of placed efforts in the mix. Just 8 days on he is race-fit, and the fastest clocking in this field — well clear of his official mark — is why he is our pick. Still without a win of late, but clearly on the up.

SR 42 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 40/1.

King Of War
Confidence: Medium

King Of War (SR 71, 9/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field and carries 10-2 — a weight that reflects his mark but is offset by his clear SR superiority over the next-best runners. Crucially, both DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm he handles 7f on good ground specifically, which is a decisive edge in a field where most rivals post DistFit:- or GoingFit:- at today's conditions. The market has shortened 8% since opening, indicating quiet but purposeful support, and trainer Michael Wigham runs a sharp 24% strike rate from a small yard (66 runners), suggesting selective, confident deployment. His form string 84-315 shows a recent 5th and 1st, keeping him competitive at this level, and running off a mark only 7lb above his last win (MarkMv:+7) is manageable given his fitness (10 days since last run). Each-way alternative: Yoko. Main danger: Giant — Giant (SR 70, 5/2) has steamed in 51% in the market and carries a favourable 9-8, making him the joint-second highest SR in the field with clear market confidence behind him — the DistFit:- and GoingFit:- readings are the main concern keeping him off the top spot, but punters clearly believe connections have found a reason to forgive those records.
