Miraculous tops our figures here, backed by one of the sharpest speed figures in the race and a creditable third three starts back. Quick to back up racing just eight days ago, he has form over today's trip and ground from stall 13, with his only blot a winless run in his last six starts.

Secret Mistral has been placed in four of her last five starts, including a second last time out, though she remains without a win in that spell. She has form over today's trip and ground, carries 140lb from stall 2, and sits square in midfield on our figures.

SR 81 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Beauzon strung together five wins in a row before a below-par run last time out, and has had 117 days since to recover. Despite that sequence, he anchors our figures at the bottom of this field, though he does have form over today's trip and ground, carrying 137lb from stall 3.

SR 74 suggests ability but 11/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Beaumadier has been in the frame with a second and third in his last two starts, and he's fresh from a run just nine days ago. He has form over today's trip and ground, carries 136lb from stall 6, but sits only ninth on our figures.

The Flying Seagull ran into a solid third last time out, placing him among the leading threats on our figures despite remaining winless in his last five starts. An unplaced effort two starts back is the blot, but he has form over today's trip and ground and carries 135lb from stall 12.
AI verdict

SR 63 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 12/1.

Intervention's finishing positions make grim reading, with nothing better than a fourth in his last six starts, yet he owns one of the fastest speed figures in this race. He has form over today's trip and ground and carries 134lb from stall 11, with turning that raw pace into a finishing effort the target.
AI verdict

SR 45 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 25/1.

Alfa Duplicate won three of her last six starts and rates second on our figures, marking her a leading threat, though her last two runs have dipped below that level. Her trainer is out of form at 0% over the last fortnight, the obvious concern, but she does have form over today's trip and ground.

General Assembly was unplaced last time out, though a pair of seconds earlier in that sequence shows he retains some ability, despite being without a win in his last five starts. He has form over today's trip and ground, carries 133lb from stall 4, and sits mid-pack on our figures following a 54-day absence.

Ay Gee Ell has been on a downward curve, following two thirds further back with progressively modest efforts and a below-par run last time out, remaining without a win in his last six starts. He has form over today's trip and ground, carries 132lb from stall 5, and still ranks around midfield on our figures.

Arlo's Girl has struggled of late, without a top-four finish in her last three starts, and she sits near the bottom of this field on our figures. She did land a race some way back and has form over today's trip and ground, carrying 130lb from stall 10, but needs a big reversal of recent form.

Knicks has been a consistent also-ran, without a win in his last six starts but with nothing worse than a seventh among them. He has form over today's trip and ground, carries 127lb from stall 8, and is fit from a run just 12 days ago, though he rates only modestly on our figures.

SR 66 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Alfa Duplicate
Confidence: Medium

Alfa Duplicate (SR 83, 5/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field and drops three class tiers, a significant relief that explains the market confidence — shortened 9% since opening. Carrying 9-8 gives a meaningful weight advantage over top-weighted Secret Mistral (SR 81, 10-0), so the SR lead is compounded by 6lb in hand. The form string 113166 shows consistent competitiveness with wins earlier in the sequence, and a drop of this magnitude into Class 5 from a higher tier means the 'poor' recent figures (6-6) were against stronger opposition. At 5/2, this is the race's most credible combination of ability, weight relief, and market endorsement. Each-way alternative: Secret Mistral. Main danger: Secret Mistral — Secret Mistral (SR 81, 7/2) has proven course form (W0P2 at Chester), a confirmed distance and going fit (+/+), shortened 8% in the market, and drops a class — strong multiple-signal alignment that makes it the most credible threat to Alfa Duplicate.
