28/1 25/1 22/1
Ranked bottom of nine on our figures and beaten in his last three starts, Ascending is hard to fancy despite carrying a manageable 135 lb; he has run over today's trip and going before, and a win and second in recent starts show he can perform when conditions click.
AI verdict

SR 70 suggests ability but 50/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last six starts, Dallas Star has at least shown consistency at this level, finishing second and third in recent starts, though seventh last time out after 47 days off is a concern; he has experience of today's trip and going, but his rating suggests he faces a stiff task from the middle of the field.

Ethical Diamond landed back-to-back wins three and four starts back and a further success five starts back, showing real consistency at the top level; he has experience over today's trip and going, and 135 lb is the primary concern after 47 days off.
AI verdict

SR 127 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Gaucher brings strong recent form to this contest — a winner three starts back and second two starts back show he fires in this sphere, and experience over today's trip and going is a plus; the 51-day absence is the one concern.

SR 88 suggests ability but 28/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Layfayette arrives here in fine fettle, a winner last time out and second two starts back, showing consistent form at the top of the weights on 135 lb; he has experience over today's trip and going, and a 48-day break shouldn't blunt his edge.
AI verdict

SR 86 suggests ability but 33/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked seventh of nine on our figures, Omni Man faces a stiff ask here; a third four starts back offers some hope, but recent efforts of fifth, eighth and ninth make him hard to fancy, despite experience over today's trip and going.
AI verdict

SR 69 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 50/1.

Ranked eighth of nine on our figures, Asakir's recent form reads poorly after finishing seventh last time out, and he has been off the track for 50 days; the one bright spot is a win three starts back, and he does have experience over today's trip and going.

Ran well enough last time when second, and a winner two starts back, but the 49-day break is a query for a colt who must give weight all round; he has run over today's trip and going, though, which at least removes one unknown.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 8-13 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Ethical Diamond
Confidence: Medium

Ethical Diamond (SR 127, 11/8) is the highest-rated runner in the field and carries the Mullins/Ryan Moore combination — the yard's clear #1 with Moore booked over stablemate Gaucher (SR 88, Declan McDonogh). Crucially, Ethical Diamond has confirmed distance fitness (DistFit:+) and going fitness (GoingFit:+) on today's good-to-firm ground at 1m4f, the only runner in the field to tick both boxes positively. The market has shortened 10% since opening, adding meaningful confidence to what the ratings already suggest. The recent form string 111-59 shows a horse that posted a hat-trick before two below-par efforts, but the headgear (hood) addition and the class remaining the same (ClassMv:=) suggest connections believe the ability is still there to be unlocked. Each-way alternative: Asakir. Main danger: Endorsement — Endorsement (SR 126, 11/10) has steamed in 39% in the market — the biggest move in the field — carries a 4lb weight advantage (8-13 vs 9-9), and the Joseph O'Brien yard's #1 booking with Dylan Browne McMonagle confirms this is their main hope; the progressive 3-year-old profile and market confidence make it a genuine and likely favourite-priced threat.
