Merrimack arrives in sharp nick after winning seven days ago, and has run over today's trip and going — third two starts back and a runner-up three starts back add further substance to his claims; the main risk is whether 138 lb blunts his momentum.
AI verdict

SR 84 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Brave Nation arrives here in decent nick on a 16-day turnaround, third last time out and with experience of today's trip and conditions; winless in his last five starts, though our rating of 84 marks him as the one to beat from stall 2 carrying 137 lb.

Winless in his last five starts, Our Planet nonetheless rates above his official mark and has experience of both today's trip and going — the main concern is that his recent finishes offer little reason for confidence.
AI verdict

SR 67 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Thornaby Pearl ranks bottom of the field on our figures and his speed rating of 63 offers little encouragement, making him hard to fancy despite an official mark of 67; that said, he boasts three wins in his last six starts, including back-to-back victories, and returns just eight days later in good heart.

SR 81 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Lion's House arrives 26 days fresh, has experience of today's trip and going, and our rating of 75 puts him ahead of his official mark — a second **five** starts back hints at the ability to threaten here; the risk is he's winless in his last six starts.

SR 71 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Loleeta has experience over today's trip and going, but a fifth last time out after 87 days off makes her hard to fancy, and her one win in recent starts came five starts back. Ranked fifth of six on our figures, she faces a stiff task.
AI verdict

SR 66 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Brave Nation
Confidence: Medium

Brave Nation (SR:80, 2/1) carries 9-11 — a 1lb advantage over Merrimack (SR:84) at 9-12 — and crucially benefits from a class drop (↓1), giving connections an easier opportunity. Billy Loughnane's booking is a major signal: at 19% strike rate from 1705 rides he is comfortably the highest-calibre jockey in the field, and the market has steamed in 14% reflecting stable confidence. The GoingFit:~ is the only concern in good-to-firm conditions, but the distance record is workable (DistFit:~) and the form string 307-43 shows a recent third from five runs back with a 4 last time — not flashy, but the class relief here is real. Each-way alternative: Thornaby Pearl. Main danger: Merrimack — Merrimack holds the top SR in the field (84), has course form (W1P1), proven DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ at Newmarket on good-to-firm, and despite a 27% market drift — possibly stable tactics with Loleeta also declared — those hard facts about course-and-distance suitability mean it retains a live winning chance.
