Ingleby Archie won three starts back and was third two starts back, showing he retains ability, but a fifth last time out tempers confidence; he has run over today's trip and going, and carries 131 lb from stall 12.
Third last time out and shaped with promise in recent starts, Squealer returns after 23 days in good order, and his experience over today's distance and going counts in his favour. Carrying 130 lb from stall five, he is preferred on his overall profile at this level, albeit yet to win in his last six starts.
Call To Action showed up with a second last time out and a winner four starts back, but the ninth two starts back is a blemish and 70 days off the track is a query; he has run over today's trip and going, and 135 lb is no featherweight at a rating of 75.

Holbache won two starts back but has finished fifth last time out and rates well below the field on our figures, ranked 11 of 12; a 54-day break adds to the questions, though he has distance and going experience and breaks from stall one.

Castan arrives here just 12 days after his last outing, fit and ready, with experience of today's trip and going working in his favour — his win five starts back shows he can land a blow on his day, though his recent sixth and ninth will need reversing.

Winless in his last six starts, American Bay nevertheless catches the eye with a second three starts back and a smart weight-adjusted rating of 83 that marks him out as the standout in this field; the chief concern is his fifth last time out suggesting peak form may be elusive.

SR 77 suggests ability but 3/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
A second three starts back hints at ability, but Good Earth has been out of the frame in his two most recent efforts and faces a stiff ask from 132 lb off stall nine; experience over today's trip and going gives him a foothold, yet consistency remains the concern.

Winless in his last six starts, Ventura Express nonetheless shaped with promise when fourth last time out and third six starts back, and he has experience of today's trip and going; the risk is that a win has so far eluded him at this level.

Shazani won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but he carries 130 lb from stall 2 and his recent record shows inconsistency — three finishes outside the places in his last six starts suggest he can be hard to catch right.

SR 69 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Winless in his last five starts and returning after 304 days off the track, Infinity Blue is hard to fancy here; he does have experience over today's trip and going, and a third three starts back offers a crumb of hope, but he faces a stiff task from stall 8 off a mark of 65.

Winless in his last six starts and ranked tenth of twelve on our figures, Jojo Rabbit has finished fourth last time out and sixth two starts back, with little recent encouragement — experience over today's trip and going at least removes two unknowns.

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Opal Storm faces a stiff ask, and she was eighth latest; a win two starts back offers the one bright spot, though distance and going experience at least means conditions hold no fresh excuses.

Even weighting across form, market confidence and race-day volatility.
American Bay holds the highest SR in the field at 77, dropping a class (ClassMv:↓1) which immediately makes this a more winnable contest. The market has backed him in 19% from opening, and Jason Hart (14% strike rate, 1301 career rides) is a notably strong jockey booking for this yard. His form 257205 shows consistent involvement — never far back — and the class drop off a MarkMv:+1 (minimal penalty) makes the handicapper's mark manageable. Paul Midgley's yard sends two runners but American Bay gets the superior jockey in Hart vs Nolan, signalling yard confidence here.
Each-way alternative: Ingleby Archie.
Main danger: Ingleby Archie — Ingleby Archie holds a Course:W1P1 record at Beverley, is proven at the distance (DistFit:+), drops a class, and carries a light 9-5 — the course specialist angle on a tight 5f track is a genuine threat to any runner without that advantage.
