A winner four starts back, and fourth three starts back, she's fresh again just 19 days on and already has today's trip and going covered. Second on our figures, her rounded profile makes her the pick here, an eighth last time out the only blemish.
AI verdict

SR 84 suggests ability but 9/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

A winner three starts back is the standout form in this book, with a seventh and a sixth in the two starts since. He has today's trip and going covered, and a 37-day break plus third spot on our figures make him the leading danger here.
AI verdict

SR 95 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

A second last time out catches the eye, with a win five starts back among the form but little of note in between. He's quick to return here 18 days on with today's trip and going covered, sitting mid-table on our figures just below his official mark.

A pulled-up effort last time out caps a book that also shows two sixths and an eighth, and he returns here from a 349-day absence. He does have today's trip and going covered, but our figures rate him well below his official mark, making him hard to fancy.

Winless in his last five starts with nothing better than a fifth, the recent efforts don't inspire confidence on their own. But he has today's trip and going covered, and our figures rate him top of this field and well clear of his official mark, making him the leading danger on figures alone.

A second five starts back, and a fourth two starts back, hint at ability, though a pulled-up effort last time out is the obvious blot. He has today's trip and going covered, and off a 46-day break our figures still rate him well above his official mark.
AI verdict

SR 60 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

A fifth last time out arrests a run that also features a ninth and three unplaced efforts, and he remains winless in his last five. Quick back into action just 12 days on, with today's trip and going covered, our figures nudge him a touch above his official mark.

Unplaced last time out and with only a sixth and two fourths further back to hang her form on, she's winless in her last four starts. She does have today's going covered, but bottom spot on our figures off a 52-day break makes her hard to fancy.

Le Diablo
Confidence: Medium

Le Diablo (SR 94, 9/4) is the highest-rated runner alongside Houndsworth but carries the same weight (11-7) with a far more credible market move — shortening 10% since opening versus Houndsworth's alarming 40% drift. John Patrick Ryan's yard has two runners here, and Le Diablo is clearly the stable's primary vehicle: J J Slevin (11%, 417 rides) is booked versus Daniel King on stablemate Marlpark, and the market reinforces that hierarchy. The form string 1-7052 shows a recent second last time out, suggesting Le Diablo returns in decent order after just 18 days, and a mark 7lb above last win is manageable at this level for the top SR in the field. Houndsworth's 40% drift on a MarkMv:+9 is a serious deterrent despite the equal SR. Each-way alternative: Max Meridius. Main danger: Max Meridius — Max Meridius (SR 83, 5/1) carries a very light 10-8, has Danny Mullins booked (14%, 256 rides — a standout jockey strike rate in this field), ran just 12 days ago suggesting peak fitness, and has a 5% market move inward — if his GoingFit:- is less relevant on good ground than the flag suggests, the weight advantage and top jockey could see him outrun his SR.
