Spirit Genie has been winless in his last five starts, though a third four starts back shows he can threaten at this level; our rating of 86 heads the field, and experience over today's trip and going gives him every chance from stall 4.
AI verdict

SR 73 suggests ability but 7/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Alessia Fernanda won four starts back and has experience over today's trip and conditions, with a 32-day break keeping her fresh; the risk is that she has struggled for consistency since, finishing outside the frame in her last three.

Garden Oasis arrives on the back of a runner-up finish last time out and has run over today's trip and going before, while his speed rating of 81 and a rating of 78 mark him out as a leading danger — the concern is a trainer currently striking at just 4% in recent weeks.
AI verdict

SR 57 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at evn.

Narmar carries 131 lb from stall 1 and, winless in his last five starts, the main risk is his recent string of three unplaced efforts — though that second four starts back hints at ability, and he has run over today's trip and going.

Cosmos Raj has been winless in his last six starts, finishing no better than fourth, and ranked bottom of six on our figures here offers little encouragement; he does have experience over today's trip and going, and stall two is his lot at 125 lb.
AI verdict

SR 61 suggests ability but 9/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last six starts and ranked fifth of six on our figures, Soames Forsyte is hard to fancy on recent evidence; that said, he has run over today's trip and going before, and a return after 51 days occasionally sparks improvement.

Spirit Genie
Confidence: Medium

Spirit Genie (SR 73, 7/2) is the clear ability leader in this modest Class 5 field, carrying 9-9 on a drop in class (ClassMv:↓1) which gives connections a realistic winning opportunity. Jason Hart, a 14% strike-rate jockey with 1,273 career rides, is a meaningful booking for Candlish who runs the yard's #1 here over the Pontefract 1m6y trip. While DistFit and GoingFit are unquantified (?), the SR advantage of at least 7 points over the next-best runner (Alessia Fernanda at SR 70) is significant in a 6-runner field, and the 7/2 price is not prohibitively short. The Candlish yard's second string Narmar (12/1) has drifted into obscurity, confirming Spirit Genie is the stable's intended winner. Each-way alternative: Garden Oasis. Main danger: Garden Oasis — Garden Oasis (evens, SR 57) has an outstanding Course:W2P6 record at Pontefract, a proven GoingFit:+ on today's good-to-firm, and drops 8lb off its last winning mark (MarkMv:-8) — the course specialism and mark drop could outweigh the 16-point SR deficit at a track where local knowledge counts.
