Big Gossey arrives in fine heart — a winner two starts back and runner-up last time out, with experience over today's trip and going and a 21-day break suggesting he's ready to fire; the main risk is whether 133 lb blunts his finishing kick.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 9-7 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Big Mojo landed a win five starts back and brings distance-and-going experience into this, with our rating of 114 topping the field — the risk is his recent form has been modest, with four unplaced efforts since that victory.
AI verdict

SR 116 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Beaten last time out and ranked bottom of five on our figures, Bodhi Bear faces a stiff task off 133 lb, though he has run over today's trip and going before and that winning burst — a first three starts back — shows he retains ability.
AI verdict

SR 98 suggests ability but 11/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last five starts, Bucanero Fuerte nevertheless brings distance and going experience to the table, and at 22 days fresh he arrives in good order; drawn four carrying 133 lb, his rating of 108 marks him as a lively outsider capable of outrunning his recent finishing positions.

SR 106 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

James's Delight shaped well when third last time out and has experience of today's trip and going in his favour, carrying 133 lb from stall 5; the main concern is a 78-day absence that leaves fitness on trust.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 9-7 gives a real edge in this handicap.

James's Delight
Confidence: Medium

James's Delight (SR:107, 3/1) is the standout selection in a weak Group 3 field. He carries the joint-lowest weight (9-7, level with all rivals in what is a level-weights Group race), holds the second-highest SR, and crucially has his mark dropped 2lb since his last win (MarkMv:-2), meaning connections have found a favourable opportunity. DBM at 15% career strike rate is a significant jockey booking — one of the sharpest young riders in Irish racing — and at 3/1 the market respects his chance. The 78-day absence is a flag but Clive Cox's 14% overall strike rate and the DistFit:~ (moderate at the trip but not poor) suggest this is a planned campaign target rather than a rushed return. Each-way alternative: Big Gossey. Main danger: Big Gossey — Big Gossey (SR:119, 4/1) holds the highest SR in the field by a clear margin, his recent form 019212 shows consistent placed efforts at this level, and W J Lee is a competent booking — if the 9-year-old's form figures are genuinely competitive at this class, he is the one most capable of overturning James's Delight.
