Won last time out, having previously run a third, a fourth and a sixth - a solid recent profile. Fit again 23 days on and with proven form over today's distance, that rounded profile makes him our narrow selection, with just a shade of dip earlier in the sequence to note.
AI verdict

SR 94 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Well below his best in recent starts — a pair of eighths, a seventh, and a pulled-up effort each feature in his last five, with a below-par sixth last time out — yet our rating of 99 makes him the clear leader of this field on ability alone. Fresh for this after a 55-day break, that recent losing sequence remains the obvious knock.
AI verdict

SR 84 suggests ability but 5/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Yet to score in his last five outings, but a pair of thirds and a pair of fifths show a fair level of ability, matched by our rating placing him third-best in this field. Race-fit 12 days on from his latest start, the concern is that run ended with him pulled up, the outlier in an otherwise solid sequence.

Yet to score in her last five starts, and the form has faded gradually — two fourths, then two sixths, before a below-par ninth last time. She has proven form over today's distance and returns 18 days on, but that softening sequence is the clear concern despite a competitive rating.

Pulled up last time out, his second such non-completion in this sequence, with a modest seventh and an earlier win also in the book. He was runner-up one start back and holds form over today's distance, so the ability is there, but a 155-day absence and that mixed record make him hard to trust fresh.

Yet to win in his last five starts, though a third last time out just 6 days ago is the form to take heart from. Two fourths and a pulled-up effort further back in that sequence show why he's up against it here, and while he does hold form over today's distance, this looks a stiff task on pure figures.

Winless in his last five starts, with two pulled-up efforts and three finishes down the field, yet our rating of 89 sits well above his official mark of 75, hinting at unexploited ability. A 66-day absence raises a fitness question, leaving him more an each-way watch than a confident vote.

Fane Court
Confidence: Medium

Fane Court (SR 87, 7/4) is the strongest-rated horse in this weak Class 5 field by a meaningful margin over the field, and the market has spoken loudly — shortening 35% since opening to 7/4 favouritism. At 10-9 it carries the lightest weight among the three top-rated runners, giving it a 3lb-plus advantage over The Great Escape (SR 84, 11-10) and a significant 27lb edge on top-weight Final Entry (SR 94, 12-0). Tom Bellamy is a reliable booking at 16% career strike rate across 454 runners, and a run just 6 days ago suggests the stable believes this horse is cherry-ripe for today. The trainer's low overall strike rate (3%) is a concern, but the aggressive market move overrides that hesitation in a field where no rival has a compelling multi-signal case. Each-way alternative: Final Entry. Main danger: Final Entry — Final Entry (SR 94) is the highest-rated horse in the field and drops a class, but its 39% market drift and top weight of 12-0 on good ground cap its appeal — if those negatives are overstated, it has the raw ability to beat everything here.
