Second last time out and a winner six starts back, Dr Ali brings distance and going experience to the table and our rating has him narrowly at the head of the rankings — though the quick five-day turnaround is the key question mark.
Pure Passion won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but her official mark of 54 sits above our rating of 50, and her form before that win was patchy — she arrives with claims but also questions to answer.

SR 55 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Winless in his last five starts and absent for 150 days, Global Effort has plenty to prove stepping back in, and his official mark of 45 leaves little margin for error — experience over today's trip and going is about his only genuine positive.

SR 26 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 40/1.
Consistent in defeat but knocking loudly at the door, Porfin has run over today's trip and going before and a rating of 53 makes him one to reckon with from stall seven — the worry is he remains winless in his last six starts.

SR 38 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.
Roman Spring shaped with promise when fourth two starts back and third four starts back, and his experience over today's trip and going counts in his favour; the main risk is that he remains winless in recent starts and a swift five-day turnaround may blunt his edge under 135 lb.

SR 52 suggests ability but 8/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Placed third last time out and second two starts back, Zaltalla arrives in decent nick after 22 days, with experience of today's trip and going working in his favour; yet to win in recent starts, but his profile of consistent placing makes him our pick from stall 2 carrying 135 lb.

My Mate Mackley has been placed four times in his last six starts — including second last time out — and has experience of today's distance and going, but ranked eighth of nine on our figures, he faces a stiff ask at these weights.

SR 63 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Consistent without threatening the principals, Real Gold has posted four thirds in her recent starts but is winless in her last six, and her latest seventh checks the momentum; she has run over today's trip and going before, though carrying 131 lb from stall one adds another test.

Winless in his last three starts, with a pair of ninths his most recent efforts, Ridger looks hard to fancy here — ranked bottom on our figures, though he has run over today's trip and going before and returns on a manageable 21-day break.

My Mate Mackley (SR:63, 4/1) is the top-rated horse in this Class 6 field and carries the lightest weight at 9-5, giving him a meaningful lbs advantage over rivals. His form of 132242 shows consistent competitiveness and DistFit:+ confirms he's proven at this trip — the only runner in the field with that confirmed distance fitness. The market has steamed in 37%, the biggest move in the field, signalling strong professional support. Trainer Adam Kirby (11% strike rate) booking Charles Bishop (9%, 765 rides) is a purposeful, capable pairing for a horse priced at a workable 4/1.
Each-way alternative: Zaltalla.
Main danger: Zaltalla — Zaltalla (SR:60, 3/1) is the joint-second highest rated runner, has a strong course record of W1P3 at Lingfield specifically, and is the market favourite — despite drifting 13%, that course form over this track gives him a genuine route to winning.
