22/1 FCST 20/1
Alpine Wedding showed a placed effort last time out and has run over today's trip, but she carries 128 lb from stall ten and her speed rating of 59 gives pause — third last time out offers encouragement, yet she remains winless in recent starts.
AI verdict

SR 56 suggests ability but 22/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

11/8 11/10 18/13
Alwaysanangel arrives in fine nick after a win two starts back, has run over today's trip and going, and her rating of 86 heads the field; the one query is whether 35 days off has left her short of peak sharpness.
AI verdict

SR 96 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Twice placed in her last two starts and a winner three starts back, Beibhinn arrives fresh on 26 days' rest, with experience of today's trip and going and a handy draw in stall three lending her good claims here.
AI verdict

SR 77 suggests ability but 20/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

100/1 66/1 80/1
Seventh last time out blunts her claims, though she did score two starts back and her experience over today's trip and going suggests conditions hold no fears; the 128 lb burden from stall 2 is the other factor to weigh up.
AI verdict

SR 55 suggests ability but 125/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ranked tenth of eleven on our figures, Damsel In Distress makes it hard to build a case, though she does bring a win last time out and experience of today's trip and going to the table.
AI verdict

SR 43 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 40/1.

Winless in recent starts and ranked last on our figures, Film Set faces a stiff ask here, though she has run over today's distance and going before and a trainer firing at 26% in the last 14 days offers some hope.
AI verdict

SR 26 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 50/1.

Consistent without a win in her last three starts — placed third two starts back and again three starts back, and second last time out — Madam Secretary has distance and going experience in her favour, and a trainer firing at 26% adds encouragement, though her rating of 78 gives her something to find on the figures.
AI verdict

SR 88 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Consistent place-getter who has finished third in each of her last two starts, though she remains yet to win in recent starts and a speed rating of 80 suggests she may just lack the necessary finishing kick; the trainer's 26% strike rate over the last 14 days offers encouragement.
AI verdict

AI verdict

Alwaysanangel
Confidence: Speculative

Alwaysanangel (SR:96, 6/4) is the highest-rated filly in the field by a clear margin and ran a strong 1-3 form sequence culminating in a win last time out, confirming she arrives at peak form. Dylan Browne McMonagle is a high-volume jockey with significant Listed/Pattern experience and retains the ride. The 11% market drift is a concern and must be acknowledged — however, in a field where no rival exceeds SR:93, her ability edge is sufficient to override it; the drift may reflect market recycling toward Maire Rua rather than a genuine negative signal about Alwaysanangel's wellbeing. Joseph Patrick O'Brien has Beibhinn (SR:77, Mkt:out51%) as the stable's clear second string, confirming Alwaysanangel as yard #1 with the superior jockey and rating. Each-way alternative: Maire Rua. Main danger: Maire Rua — Maire Rua (SR:89, 13/8) won her sole start impressively enough to attract a 13/8 market quote and the Colin Keane booking from the powerful G M Lyons yard — she is unbeaten and completely unexposed, meaning her ceiling is unknown and she could comfortably be rated higher than her current SR suggests.

Case against 4 clamped
  • 11% market drift out to 6/4 is notable given she is the highest-rated filly — Maire Rua (SR:89) has been backed into 13/8 and now trades shorter, suggesting informed money has moved away from Alwaysa…
  • 35 days since last run is the longest freshen-up in a field containing rivals who raced 11-22 days ago; fitness edge belongs to Madam Secretary (17 days) and Nevermindtherain (22 days).

  • Alwaysanangel's HG flag 't' (turf handicap) raises a question about her suitability to this exact track/going configuration today, especially versus rivals flagged 'p' (placed) on similar surfaces.
