Kurios Lady shaped with promise when second three starts back and has experience of today's trip and conditions, making her a genuine threat at 141 lb from stall five — though she's winless in recent starts and the 51-day absence is the main concern.

SR 74 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Consistently placed in her last five starts — third two runs back and runner-up five starts back — Ghost Story brings solid recent form and experience over today's trip and going, with our rating of 73 marking her a genuine threat; the concern is she remains winless and must convert that placed consistency into something more.

SR 70 suggests ability but 6/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Shirakawa won two of her last six starts, with a runner-up last time out 18 days ago keeping her in form, but she has slipped to an official mark of 65 and our rating edges below that; she has run over today's trip and going, and draws stall one.

Placed second last time out and a winner three starts back, Mohaab has experience over today's trip and going in her favour, though 44 days off the track and a fourth two starts back suggest she'll need to find improvement to threaten at the sharp end.

Flightofthephoenix (SR:74, 5/2) shares the joint-highest SR in the field alongside Shirakawa, but carries 9-5lb less than Shirakawa (10-0 vs 9-5 — actually similar, but the market has moved decisively: in 15% since opening while Shirakawa has drifted 15%). The form string 53-772 shows a return run behind her, then a consistent recent effort 11 days ago, and Charles Hills (11% strike rate, 445 career runners) is a trainer who doesn't fire horses into handicaps without readiness — the 11-day turnaround suggests confidence in the horse's fitness. The market move from opening to 5/2 is the single strongest signal in this field: in a competitive Class 5 AW handicap at Kempton, sustained money at this price is hard to ignore, and no other runner combines SR-74, trainer quality, and that degree of market confidence.
Each-way alternative: Mohaab.
Main danger: Shirakawa — Shirakawa (SR:74, 6/1) has the joint-best SR, a DistFit:+ flag confirming suitability to this trip, and a recent form string of 747112 — two consecutive wins before a last-run second — suggesting a horse in very good form, and while the 15% drift is a concern, the raw ability and distance aptitude make her the most obvious threat to the selection.
