Roc De Fer arrives in cracking nick, winning his last two starts and with his trainer firing at 31% over the past fortnight. He has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 80 marks him out as the one to beat, though the 141 lb burden is worth noting.
AI verdict

SR 80 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Simple Star shaped with promise when second three starts back, and his experience over today's trip and going bolsters his claims under 139 lb; the concern is that he has been winless in his last five starts and must find more on recent form.
AI verdict

SR 42 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 33/1.

Consistently hitting the frame — third last time out and a second three starts back — Sure And Stedfast arrives on a good freshness angle at 27 days, has experience over today's trip and going, and our rating of 74 suggests he's ahead of his official mark; the risk is he's yet to score in recent starts.
AI verdict

SR 70 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

A lengthy absence of 126 days makes Tommy's Promise hard to trust here, and ranked last on our figures he faces a stiff task; ninth last time out compounds the concern. He has run over today's trip and going, and two wins in his last five starts show there is ability to unearth if fit.

Alnayef showed up well with a third last time out and was a winner two starts back, but the trainer's current 5% strike rate over the last 14 days is a concern, and he carries a hefty 136 lb here.

Ranked sixth of seven on our figures and carrying 132 lb, Willow Wood faces a stiff ask, though she does arrive on the back of a win two starts back and has previous experience on today's going; the trainer's 26% strike rate over the past fortnight offers slim encouragement.

SR 74 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Placed last time out and carrying 130 lb, Much has run over today's trip and going before, and his rating of 72 edges his official mark — making him a lively danger. The main risk is he's winless in his last four starts.
AI verdict

SR 76 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Much
Confidence: Medium

Much (SR:76, 10/3) carries the lightest weight in the field at 9-4, giving it a significant lbs advantage over top-weight Roc De Fer (SR:80, 10-1) — a 11lb swing that more than offsets the SR gap. Its form of 8742 shows a clear progressive trajectory, finishing 2nd last time out, and trainer James Fanshawe operates at 18% career strike rate, the highest in this field. At 10/3 the market is confident, and the weight-for-ability combination is the most attractive profile in the race. The tongue-tie addition (HG:t) suggests connections are targeting a step forward, and Musselburgh's galloping 1m5f suits progressive types. Each-way alternative: Sure And Stedfast. Main danger: Roc De Fer — Roc De Fer (SR:80, top-rated) showed a 1-1-3 sequence on good going and carries only 3 year old form, but its 17% market drift and top-weight of 10-1 in soft conditions are serious negatives that could be overcome if the drift is simply crowd behaviour rather than stable concern.
