Sphagnum has run over today's trip and going, arrives here 27 days fresh and shaped with promise when second two starts back; the risk is he's been winless in recent starts and will need to recapture that level after disappointing efforts either side of it.
AI verdict

SR 99 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

Rockonliam arrives on the back of back-to-back wins but our figures rank him sixth of seven, and 162 lb is a significant burden to overcome; he has experience of today's going, at least, to draw on.
AI verdict

SR 125 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Jacovec Cavern showed real ability when winning and filling the runner-up spot in his last five starts, and he has run over today's trip and going before; the pull-up last time is the one query, but on a mark of 116 he remains the one to beat.

SR 108 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Rue Taylor won last time out and has experience of both today's trip and conditions, making her a serious threat at the head of the market — the concern is whether 39 days between runs leaves her spot-on for this test carrying 156 lb.

SR 112 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Ranked bottom of our figures, Teenage Kiss faces a stiff ask off 153 lb, and her recent form is patchy — fifth and fourth mixed in with better efforts. She does bring distance and going experience, and was a winner two starts back.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 10-13 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Ceroc bounced back to winning form last time out, but a pulled-up effort two starts back raises a stamina or soundness query; he has run over today's distance and going, and at 152 lb he faces a stiff weight task stepping into this grade.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 10-12 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Duty Bound has experience of today's trip and going, and a second four starts back hints at the ability to compete at this level — our rating of 115 makes him a leading danger despite carrying 151 lb. The concern is his recent run of pulled up and fell, which clouds his current reliability.
AI verdict

SR 85 suggests ability but 18/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Teenage Kiss
Confidence: Medium

Teenage Kiss (SR 114, 7/2) is the most compelling case in a modest field. The horse carries a manageable 10-13 — a clear weight advantage over top-weight Sphagnum (11-12) and Rockonliam (11-8) — and arrives on a form line of 245-12, showing two consecutive wins to close the sequence. The market has shortened 18% from the opening price, which is a significant steaming signal in a 7-runner field where money is harder to hide. Trainer Conor O'Dwyer's booking of conditional Charlie O'Dwyer (20% strike rate from 20 rides, small but sharp sample) suggests yard confidence, and at 7/2 there is genuine each-way value with upside if the wins translate over this trip. Each-way alternative: Ceroc. Main danger: Ceroc — Ceroc (SR 108, 3/1) carries only 10-12, has a confirmed GoingFit:+ on today's good ground — the only positive going flag in the field — and recorded a win last time out (form P6-2P1), making the quick 17-day turnaround from a winning run a live threat rather than a concern.
