Crimson Spirit arrives in cracking nick — a winner last time out and second two starts back, with experience of today's trip and going. Carrying 142 lb from stall 4 is the weight to overcome.
AI verdict

SR 102 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in his last five starts, Pellitory nonetheless shaped with promise when second two runs back, and he has experience of today's trip and conditions; carrying 141 lb from stall one, our ratings mark him the one to beat here.
AI verdict

SR 92 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Yanifer showed smart form when winning four starts back, and he has experience over today's trip and going; the concern is that he's been unplaced in his last three outings heading into this.
AI verdict

SR 75 suggests ability but 16/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Third five starts back is the sole podium finish in his recent record, and Christian David arrives here fit on a 14-day turnaround, with experience over today's trip and going and a useful rating of 91 in his favour — the risk is that he's winless in his last six starts.

SR 85 suggests ability but 4/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last six starts with unplaced efforts dominating recent form, New Image is hard to fancy despite a rating of 88 suggesting some ability; he has run over today's trip and going, and seven days since his last outing at least means fitness isn't a concern.
AI verdict

SR 77 suggests ability but 17/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures and with a speed rating that lags the field, Moonshine is hard to fancy despite a lively recent profile — two wins in her last five starts — and a trainer firing at 28%; the 59-day absence adds another question mark.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 8-12 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Pellitory
Confidence: Medium

Pellitory (SR:92, 9/2) has steamed in 26% in the market — the strongest market move in the field by a wide margin — which is a powerful signal in a small six-runner handicap where money is concentrated and informed. Daniel Tudhope (16% strike rate, 819 career rides) is a sharp booking for O'Meara's yard, and with Oisin Murphy taken for stablemate New Image, Tudhope's presence here identifies Pellitory as the yard's #1 from the Stable:1 pair. At 10-1 weight against Crimson Spirit's 10-2, Pellitory carries only 1lb less but has a 10-point SR deficit — however, the 26% market steam suggests an angle not fully visible in the form string, and the ClassMv:= means no class rise to navigate. The GoingFit:- is a concern on Good ground but the market is clearly overriding that worry. Each-way alternative: Christian David. Main danger: Crimson Spirit — Crimson Spirit (SR:102, 2/1) is the highest-rated horse in the field with proven DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ on today's conditions, and despite a 6% drift and a 4lb higher mark than its last win, it remains shortest-priced and has the clearest class profile for this race.
