Norwalk Havoc was only third two starts back but has already raced over today's trip and going, and his rating puts him clear at the top of this field. He's yet to score in his last five starts and faces a 51-day absence, the only blot on an otherwise leading claim.
AI verdict

SR 79 suggests ability but 18/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ribee was winning four and five starts back and has today's trip and going in his locker, giving him obvious claims on his best form. A below-par seventh last time and a lengthy 104-day absence are the risks, but on our figures he ranks among the main dangers here.
AI verdict

SR 98 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Dunum won three starts back having also been placed two back, and he already boasts experience of today's trip and going. He is a big risk on a 318-day absence, though our second-highest rating gives him claims among the leading dangers if fully wound up.

Hardy Warrior won three starts back and was runner-up five back, and already has experience of today's trip and going. He faded to fourth last time, but his trainer is in good form at 30% over the last fortnight, and he rates 100 against an official mark of 105.

Booyea was runner-up last time out, but that's his only form highlight amid four other finishes outside the frame in his last five starts. He already has experience of today's trip and going, though a rating of 87 keeps him towards the foot of this field on our figures.

Orandi has been well held in all of his last five starts, no better than a seventh two starts back, though he does already have experience of today's trip and going. A rating of 92, a few pounds above his official mark, is the case for considering him at only a midfield level.

Hardy Warrior
Confidence: Medium

Hardy Warrior (SR:109, 4/1) is the standout performer on Saturday Rating in this field, holding a clear 11-point edge over the next-best Lir Speciale (SR:89). Crucially, that ability advantage is carried on just 9-7, not an oppressive weight, and the market has backed this view strongly with a 26% inward move from opening price — Joseph Patrick O'Brien's stable operates at 16% with 1,479 runners, the strongest training strike rate in the race, and Dylan Browne McMonagle's 15% booking confirms this is taken seriously from the yard. Hardy Warrior is proven at today's distance (DistFit:+) which no other realistic contender can match as clearly, and a mark 2lb below last winning mark (MarkMv:-2) means the handicapper has given rather than taken from connections. The form string 24-134 shows a last-time-out fourth that keeps the mark manageable while form prior to that includes a win and place at this class of contest. Each-way alternative: Lir Speciale. Main danger: Dunum — Dunum (SR:95, 9-7) has steamed 27% in the market — the joint-biggest inward move in the race — is off a mark only 3lb above last win, and returns from a 318-day absence for a yard that clearly had this race in mind, making it the most dangerous unknown quantity in the field.
