Alpha Capture arrives here in fine fettle just 10 days ago, and his record of three seconds and a win in recent starts underlines his consistency; he has experience of today's trip and conditions, and our figures see plenty of improvement to come.

SR 93 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Obelix ran over today's trip and going, and our rating of 90 is as high as any here; a winner four starts back gives him a proven scoring form. The risk is a return to his latest unplaced effort.
Wait, let me recount: latest first: unplaced, 5th, 5th, 1st, unplaced. So the win is four starts back.
Let me rewrite cleanly and check all rules:

Bell Shot has been knocking at the door — second last time out and third three starts back — and has run over today's trip and going, with our rating of 88 putting him firmly in contention; the concern is a trainer firing at just 4% over the past fortnight.

SR 76 suggests ability but 17/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Highland Olly has experience of today's trip and going, and he showed he can win when landing the spoils two starts back, but a seventh last time out is harder to ignore and he faces a stiff task from stall 11 off 140 lb.

Glenfinnan was a close second two starts back and has run over today's trip and going, while his 86 rating suggests he's well above his official mark of 78 — but a trainer striking at just 3% lately is the concern.

SR 82 suggests ability but 5/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
A 89-day absence and an unplaced effort last time make her hard to recommend, and she ranks tenth of eleven on our figures; she does carry experience of today's trip and conditions, and two wins in her last five starts hint at ability worth respecting.

SR 56 suggests ability but 20/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Tattie Bogle has back-to-back runner-up finishes to his name, though a seventh three starts back tempers the picture; he has run over today's trip and going, yet a quick four-day turnaround and a hefty 136 lb ask from stall 10 make his task far from straightforward.

SR 77 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Winless in his last six starts, Flying Fletcher does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, and a third three starts back shows he can find the frame; but a sixth last time out and draw 4 carrying 132 lb make this a tough ask.

SR 48 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 28/1.
Won two starts back but has posted fifth-place finishes either side of it, and that inconsistency is the concern here. Has run over today's trip and going, carries 131 lb from stall seven, and returns on a handy 16-day break.

Homestrait has experience of today's trip and going, but ranks ninth of eleven on our figures and her speed rating of 68 underlines the concern. She scored two starts back, yet her latest run was a fourth, making her hard to fancy at the weights despite her recent winning form.

Winless in his last six starts with a string of sevenths, eighths and unplaced efforts, Intervention is hard to fancy on recent form, and a trainer firing at just 4% compounds the concern — though he has run over today's trip and going before.

Obelix (SR 86, 4/1) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin and the market has emphatically backed this assessment with a 31% inward move — the strongest market signal in the race. He drops a class (ClassMv:↓1), giving connections every reason to expect a competitive run, and crucially he is proven at today's distance (DistFit:+) and today's going (GoingFit:+), two boxes that very few rivals can tick simultaneously. Jason Hart (14% career strike rate from 1,299 rides) is a high-quality booking who knows how to ride Beverley's sharp turn. His recent form reads -01550, which requires context — the last run (0) is a concern, but the class drop and going match give logical grounds to dismiss it, and the money clearly agrees.
Each-way alternative: Tattie Bogle.
Main danger: Alpha Capture — Alpha Capture (SR 93, 9/4) is the field's SR leader, has shortened 11% in the market, and while carrying top-weight of 10-4 at +6 above last win mark, Roger Fell's horse has consistent recent form (621202) and the cheekpieces add a tactical edge that could see it dominate from the front on good-to-firm ground.
