Arabian Force remains without a win in his last five starts, but has been competitive with three thirds and two runner-up efforts, and carries an eye-catching speed figure of 105. Proven over today's trip and going, fresh from a run 56 days ago, he rates fourth of six on our figures.
AI verdict

SR 120 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Duke Of Oxford won back-to-back three and four starts back but has faded since. He was seventh last time out, with a fifth two starts back. He's proven over today's trip and going, fresh from a run 44 days ago, but rates only fifth of six on our figures.
AI verdict

SR 77 suggests ability but 22/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Epic Poet is without a win in his last six starts, with a second his best effort, but he carries a strong speed figure of 96. Proven over today's trip and going, fresh from a run 28 days ago, he rates third of six on our figures despite only a sixth last time out.

Mount Atlas has been freakishly consistent without ever getting his head in front, with three runner-up efforts, a third and a fourth from his last five starts. Proven over today's trip and going and fresh from a run 28 days ago, he's our pick on profile, though he must finally turn places into more.

Favourable weight of 9-0 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Tabletalk tops our figures on 117, with three runner-up efforts, a third and a fifth from his last five starts, though still without a win. Proven over today's trip and going and fresh from a run 28 days ago, his strong speed figure of 102 marks him the chief threat.

Peace Belle has only the one run in this sample, finishing fourth 13 days ago, and sits last of six on our figures. Unproven at this level, she's hard to fancy on what little we've seen.
AI verdict

SR 125 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Tabletalk
Confidence: Medium

Tabletalk (SR 126, 7/4) holds the highest Saturday Rating in a field where the top end is closely bunched, and critically is the only joint-favourite to have shortened in the market (Mkt:in10%) rather than drifted. Mount Atlas — the other 7/4 shot — has drifted 12% since opening AND is running off a mark 9lb higher than at last win (MarkMv:+9), a significant concern at Group 3 level. Tabletalk's recent 3-2-2-5-2 form line shows consistent competitiveness at this class, and GoingFit:+ confirms the good-to-firm ground at York is squarely in his favour. Rossa Ryan (16% career strike rate, 1,334 rides) is the stronger booking among the leading jockeys on show, adding further confidence. Each-way alternative: Arabian Force. Main danger: Mount Atlas — Mount Atlas (SR 122) is trained by the in-form Andrew Balding (19% strike rate) and holds Course:W0P1 form at York — though the 12% drift and MarkMv:+9 are real deterrents, the underlying class is genuine and a market over-reaction could leave value here.
