10-0
10/1 9/1 10/1
Highfield Viking shaped with promise when third five starts back, and his experience over today's trip and going keeps him firmly in the mix from stall one carrying 140 lb — though winless in his last five starts, that recent dip in form is the chief concern.
AI verdict

SR 57 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Placed in four of his last six starts — second last time out and a winner three starts back — Runninsonofagun arrives fresh on 12 days' rest with distance and going experience to call on, though his ranking of ninth in the field and 139 lb burden suggest he faces a stiff ask here.
AI verdict

SR 70 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Black Storm has been knocking at the door in recent starts — third last time out and a second three starts back show he's consistently hitting the frame, and he has experience over today's trip and conditions. The main risk is that he remains winless in his last five starts.
AI verdict

SR 63 suggests ability but 8/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Phoenix Of Dreams landed a win four starts back and was third last time out, but his absence of 102 days and a middling speed rating of 68 temper expectations; he has run over today's trip and going, though stall 11 is where he breaks from under 138 lb.
AI verdict

SR 48 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 20/1.

A winner three starts back offers the sole encouragement here, but she has been unplaced either side of it and returns after 99 days off. Has run over today's trip, though her figures rank her among the outsiders in this field.
AI verdict

SR 45 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 80/1.

Ranked 12 of 13 on our figures, Sanafi Zabeel is hard to fancy off a tough 136 lb burden from stall 13, and his trainer's woeful 5% strike rate in recent weeks adds little confidence — though he does return quickly on familiar going.

SR 64 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Placed second two starts back and a winner last time out, Circle of Trust arrives on a 49-day break carrying 135 lb from stall 8; he has run over today's trip and going before, though that ninth three starts back tempers expectations slightly.

Stoic Poet caught the eye with a second two starts back and has run over today's trip and going, so conditions shouldn't be against him; yet to win in his last five starts, though 64 days off the track is the main query heading into this.
AI verdict

SR 47 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 20/1.

Milford Grange has run over today's trip and going, and placed second on three occasions in recent starts, yet he's winless in his last six and back-to-back disappointing efforts — eighth and sixth — make him hard to fancy without improvement returning.
AI verdict

SR 71 suggests ability but 11/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

9/2 11/1 9/2
Yet to score in his last six starts, Supreme Clarets does bring distance and going experience to the table, and second finishes two and three starts back show he's competitive; however, a trainer strike-rate of just 2% over the past fortnight is a concern at 131 lb from stall 3.

SR 73 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

11/2 7/1 5/1
Yaaser has been winless in his last six starts, though back-to-back thirds show he isn't disgraced; the trainer's current 5% strike rate from 40 runners is a real concern, and ranked tenth of thirteen on our figures, he faces a stiff ask from stall 12 carrying 130 lb.
AI verdict

SR 65 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in her last six starts with three sevenths in recent form, Tap Dancer faces an uphill task, and a trainer running at just 5% over the past fortnight offers little encouragement; she has run over today's trip and going before, at least.
AI verdict

SR 31 suggests ability but 33/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Yaaser
Confidence: Medium

Yaaser (SR:65, 5/1, Wgt:9-4) carries the lightest competitive weight in the Jim Goldie yard and has been dramatically cut from a longer price — a 53% market move inward is the strongest steam signal in this field. The -11lb mark drop since last win gives him a clear handicap advantage, and at 8 years old in Class 5 company at 9-4, connections clearly believe conditions are right today. Jim Goldie (14% strike rate, 570 runners) is the most potent yard represented and with three runners in the race, Yaaser's market move — contrasting with stablemates Sanafi Zabeel (only in7%) and Tap Dancer (out48%) — identifies him as the yard's number-one runner. The course place (W0P1) confirms track familiarity, and at 5/1 he offers genuine value against a mediocre SR ceiling across the field. Each-way alternative: Supreme Clarets. Main danger: Supreme Clarets — Supreme Clarets (SR:73, 13/2, Wgt:9-5) is the highest-rated horse in the field and has steamed in 49% — the second-largest market move — while dropping a class and carrying a favourable weight, making it a serious threat to outrate the field on ability alone.
