Tiger arrives on the back of a win last time out and a second two starts back, boasting distance and going experience and an 85 rating that marks him out as the class act in this field; the concern is a swift six-day turnaround carrying 147 lb from stall 8.

Placed third last time out and second two starts back, Mr Lincoln brings solid recent form into this, and has run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in his last five starts, but drawn in stall 13 carrying 142 lb, he looks the one to follow on profile. Wait - I said "the one to beat" equivalent. Let me redo. Placed third last time out and second two starts back, Mr Lincoln arrives in fine fettle just 21 days on, with

Yet to score in his last five starts, Draupnir does bring distance and going experience to the table, and his speed rating of 81 offers mild encouragement, but an unplaced latest effort and a seventh before that give him plenty to prove from stall six.

SR 51 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 20/1.

Geo has placed in four of her last six starts, including third last time out and a second two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before; yet to win in recent starts and with her trainer in a lean spell at 5%, the 137 lb burden makes this tough.

Winless in his last five starts but has placed three times in that spell, including a second last time out; he has run over today's trip and going before, though 64 days off and 134 lb from stall 10 are factors to weigh against him.

Unchartedterritory arrives on the back of a win last time out, bringing both distance and going experience to the table, and his rating of 76 gives him a solid claim; the main risk is that 60 days off the track leaves his fitness slightly open to question.

Faeberon arrives as a live contender, a winner last time out and with experience of today's trip and conditions — the main question is whether 41 days off the track has left him short of peak sharpness.

Back-to-back sixth and seventh suggest Mayor Of Maghera is in poor form right now, and ranked 11 of 13 on our figures he's hard to fancy; a winner three starts back offers slim hope, and he has experience of today's going.

Winless in his last five starts, with an eighth and a ninth among recent efforts, Natzor is hard to fancy down in tenth of thirteen on our rankings despite having run over today's trip and going; he is fit enough on a 10-day turnaround and carries 127 lb from stall four.

Phantom Shadow is hard to fancy ranked 12 of 13 on our figures, and a fifth and eighth in recent starts undermine his claims despite a win last time out; he has run over today's trip and going before, and 19 days is a fair freshness angle.

Tiger
Confidence: Medium

Tiger (SR 82, 10/11) is the clear class leader in this field by a significant margin — 6 SR points clear of second-best Dryburgh (SR 81) and 7 clear of Phantom Shadow (SR 75). Dropping one class from last run and returning to the same mark as last win, Tiger has also steamed 21% in the market, which in a 13-runner Class 5 handicap at a modest prize level is meaningful stable confidence. The form line 4-6421 shows a progressive right-to-left sequence culminating in a recent second, and at 10-7 under top weight the class advantage is substantial enough to overcome the burden. GoingFit is only moderate (~) but good ground is not a disqualifying concern given the overall SR dominance. Each-way alternative: Dryburgh. Main danger: Dryburgh — Dryburgh (SR 81, 9/2) has steamed 38% in the market, carries a favourable 9-8 versus Tiger's 10-7 — a 13lb weight swing that matters on good ground over 1m2f — and trainer Oli Rix hits 14% strike rate from only 28 runners, suggesting a sharp yard firing with purpose here.
