Fifth last time out but a winner two starts back, Imperial Rule races off an official mark of 100. He has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 91 keeps him among the leading dangers in this ten-runner field, that recent fifth the obvious blot.

Second last time out, beaten only into that placing, Jack Sprat heads this ten-runner race on our figures despite being winless in his last five. He has run over today's trip and going before, and a rating of 100 — just ahead of his official mark of 99 — makes him the one to beat.

Placed in each of his last five starts — three thirds and two seconds — El Muchacho is the model of consistency, for all he remains winless in that run. He has run over today's trip and going before, back after 53 days off, and a rating of 98 makes him one of the leading dangers in this ten-runner field.

Pulled up last time out and yet to win in his last five, Wearelongterm mixes the odd place effort with plenty of duds on this recent form. Proven over today's trip and going, quick to reappear on just two days, and a rating of 84 puts him firmly in the pack in this ten-runner field.

Runner-up last time out, Judicial Review bounced back from a moderate spell that featured two efforts where he was pulled up, and remains winless in his last five starts. He has run over today's trip and going before, quick to return on just two days, and a rating of 83 — above his official mark of 79 — hints at more to come.

SR 87 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
A troubled recent record — back-to-back unseated efforts and a pulled-up run — masks a rating of 88, well above his official mark of 78, and that gap makes Blazing Court of real interest in this ten-runner field. He has run over today's trip and going before, quick to return on just two days, though such waywardness is the obvious worry.

A modest recent record for the most part, though a win three starts back shows Aill Dubh has ability when conditions suit. He has run over today's trip and going before, but a rating of only 74 leaves him among the outsiders in this ten-runner field.

SR 81 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
A well beaten recent record — two sixths either side of a fall and a pulled-up effort — leaves Fast Deal winless in his last five and the lowest-rated runner in this ten-runner field on our figures, at just 72. He has run over today's trip and going before, but there is little in this form to inspire confidence.

Path Of Stars (SR:87, 5/1) combines the most compelling cluster of signals in this modest Class 5 field. DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm proven ability at today's trip and on good ground — a critical edge in a race where half the field carry query marks on both counts. Course:W1P3 at Cartmel, a specialist track, is a significant positive. The market has backed this horse in 23% since opening, suggesting informed support. Weight of 10-6 is competitive, and the recent form of 43-512 shows a consistent pattern with a last-time-out second indicating peak fitness. Jeff Mullins is not a high-volume yard but the booking of a conditional who has racked up 197 rides shows this horse is being campaigned professionally.
Each-way alternative: El Muchacho.
Main danger: Jack Sprat — Jack Sprat has steamed in 35% in the market — the strongest move in the field — and drops a class with Brian Hughes in the saddle, but GoingFit:- and DistFit:? on good ground at 2m5f are genuine concerns that could be masking a lay angle rather than a market insight.
