Annexation showed his best recent form when runner-up two starts back, and having run over today's trip and going, he arrives here on a competitive mark and retains strong claims as the top-rated runner in a field of six, albeit yet to win in his last six starts.
AI verdict

SR 60 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

A winner last time out is the one flag worth raising for It's Life, though four starts either side of that success read 11 days ago show a patchy profile, and she ranks fifth of six on our figures — hard to fancy at these weights.

SR 61 suggests ability but 7/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in her last four starts, with the highlight a third last time out, West Hill Rosie faces a stiff task as the bottom-rated runner here; 45 days off and 131 lb are further negatives, though she does have experience over today's trip and going.

SR 34 suggests ability but 40/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

SP 5/6 10/11
Buckland Belle arrives on the back of a win last time out, with a second two starts back and strong recent form that marks her out as a genuine threat here; carrying 130 lb from stall two is the weight to overcome.

SR 78 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Port Darwin won three starts back and has experience of both today's trip and going, while 25 days since his last run suggests he arrives fresh at a handy 130 lb; the concern is two consecutive fifth-placed finishes since that win.
AI verdict

SR 68 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Beryl's Girl showed she can win at this level, scoring one start back, and she has experience of today's trip and going — stamping her as a genuine threat from stall one at 130 lb; the worry is that seventh on her latest outing leaves her needing to bounce back sharply.
AI verdict

SR 64 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Buckland Belle
Confidence: Medium

Buckland Belle (SR:78, 10/11) is the class standout in this modest Class 6 field, carrying a SR 10 points clear of the next-best runner (Port Darwin, SR:68) on a featherweight 9-4. Her form string 513221 shows consistent recent placing and a last-time-out second, suggesting she is in peak form and competitive at this level. GoingFit:+ confirms she handles good to firm ground, which is today's surface, and ClassMv:= means no class adjustment is needed. Despite the MarkMv:+6 (running off a mark 6lb higher than at last win), her SR advantage over the field is sufficient to absorb that rise at this grade. Each-way alternative: Port Darwin. Main danger: Port Darwin — Port Darwin (SR:68, 9/2) drops a class (ClassMv:↓1), carries the same weight as Buckland Belle at 9-4, and his form string 276155 shows back-to-back fifth-placed finishes that may flatter — but a class drop to Class 6 with Charlie Johnston's 13% yard strike rate gives him a realistic each-way threat, even with the 8% market drift suggesting connections are not fully confident.
