10-0
11/2 9/2 11/2
Lady Britain won twice in her last five starts and already has form over today's distance, though her latest run was well below that level. The main worry is fitness, with a near-year gap since that outing.
AI verdict

SR 77 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Sandy Craic was runner-up last time and has been placed in four of her last six starts, fresh again just 12 days later with solid form over today's distance. The yard's cold trainer form is a mild concern, but she looks the one to beat.

SR 79 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Scheffler wears cheekpieces and has form over today's distance, with a third the pick of his last four starts. He remains without a win in that spell, and last time's below-par run is the concern.
AI verdict

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

Leelawadee is winless in a run of three starts, though her finishing positions have edged forward each time, and she rates as the outsider here. Distance form is her one obvious asset heading into this.
AI verdict

SR 64 suggests ability but 11/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Hatamoto won last time out and returns quickly, just 13 days later, already holding form over today's distance in cheekpieces. Barring that latest success his form has been up and down, so consistency remains the query.
AI verdict

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

Sandy Craic
Confidence: Medium

Sandy Craic (SR:79, 11/10) is the highest-rated horse in the field and carries a manageable 9-13, giving it a 3lb weight advantage over Lady Britain at the top of the ratings. The market has steamed in 17% — the strongest move in the race — and David O'Meara's yard has depth with 1,157 career runners, while apprentice Conor Whiteley carries a strong 18% strike rate from 88 rides, the best jockey record on show. The recent form of 325512 shows consistent engagement, culminating in a win last time, and although GoingFit is flagged negative for Good to Firm, that concern is somewhat offset by the significant market confidence and the horse's clear ability edge over these rivals. Lady Britain's 308-day absence and +8 mark rise are genuine risks, while Hatamoto's alarming 53% drift is too large to ignore. Each-way alternative: Lady Britain. Main danger: Lady Britain — Lady Britain (SR:77) drops three class levels and has a 7% market move inward — if the 308-day layoff has been well-managed by the Ismail Mohammed & Jose Santos yard and the form peak of '110' reflects genuine ability, she could outrun her odds at 11/2.
