A winner four starts back, Celeborn was fifth last time out and sits third of four on our figures at 90. He has run over today's distance before, and a strong 77 speed figure underlines the promise, though his form has cooled since that win.

Favourable weight of 9-9 gives a real edge in this handicap.
Top of our figures on 96 and clocking a smart 84 speed rating, our selection heads this field of four. Form has tailed off - eighth last time out and winless through his last five - but he has run over today's trip and going before and the ratings still make him the one to beat.

Allegresse (SR:93, 7/2) shares the top SR rating with Blue Prince but holds key structural advantages: 9-4 is the lightest weight in the field, giving a 8lb edge over Celeborn (9-12) and meaningful advantages over both rivals, which matters on good to firm ground. The DistFit:+ is the only proven distance record in this race, and a class drop (ClassMv:↓1) puts this three-year-old in an easier context after running in higher-grade company. Andrew Balding (19% strike rate, 1346 runners) is one of the stronger yards in the data and Oisin Murphy (22%, 1182 runners) is the standout jockey booking — that combination with a gentle market drift (Mkt:in11%) suggests quiet stable confidence rather than noisy money. The 0 on the last run is worth contextualising against the prior '49' form, but the class relief and weight advantage compensate.
Each-way alternative: Blue Prince.
Main danger: Blue Prince — Blue Prince (SR:93, 7/2) has course form (W1P1 at Salisbury) and a solid recent '3313' sequence suggesting consistency, though the 60% drift and a +6lb mark rise above his last win are genuine concerns that cap his upside.
