9-12
9/1
Aramram showed smart form when second three starts back and back-to-back wins before that, and he has experience over today's trip and going; the concern is a 56-day absence combined with a hefty 138 lb to carry.
AI verdict

SR 101 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Royal Zabeel bounced back to win last time but was unplaced on his most recent start, so the form is a little in and out; he has experience of today's trip and going, and returns after a 35-day break carrying 133 lb from stall five.
AI verdict

SR 95 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Fast Track Harry arrives on the back of a solid second last time out, has experience of today's trip and going, and his rating of 103 suggests he holds strong claims off 124 lb — though his two unplaced runs before that comeback placed form may give some pause.
AI verdict

SR 94 suggests ability but 6/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Dark Cloud Rising brings strong recent form to the table — a winner three starts back and placed in each of his last two starts — and has experience of both today's trip and conditions; the main risk is that stall 15 gives him plenty to navigate early.
AI verdict

SR 98 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in his last five starts, Khafiz at least showed some improvement with back-to-back fourths in recent outings, and he has experience of today's trip and conditions; carrying 120 lb from stall seven, the concern is whether he can find enough to break into the frame.
AI verdict

SR 84 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ranked 11 of 15 on our figures, Lord Roxby faces a stiff ask against stronger company, and a speed rating of 84 gives him little chance on bare form, though he does arrive in decent nick — a winner last time out, 12 days ago — and has experience of today's trip and going.
AI verdict

SR 97 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

28/1 14/1 28/1
Beaten sixth last time out, he finds himself ranked 12th of 15 on our figures, and a trainer operating at just 5% over the past fortnight makes him hard to fancy, despite back-to-back wins three and four starts back and experience over today's trip and going.

Musical Touch won two starts back and has experience of today's trip and conditions in his favour, but an unplaced effort last time and a career-high 117 lb ask from stall nine give the handicapper's hold on him here.
AI verdict

SR 87 suggests ability but 16/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last five starts and eight lengths back last time out, Eye Of Dubai arrives 51 days fresh but faces a stiff ask from stall one carrying 114 lb, though he has run over today's trip and going before and our rating of 96 suggests ability worth respecting.

SR 72 suggests ability but 20/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Beaten last time out after winning two starts back, Manila Scouse faces an uphill task ranked 14 of 15 on our figures, and the trainer's 5% strike rate over the past fortnight offers little encouragement; experience over today's trip and going is about the best that can be said.

Kodiac Thriller won last time out but ranks last of the 15 runners on our figures, and three unplaced efforts in his last six starts make him hard to fancy at the weights, despite experience over today's trip and going.
AI verdict

SR 85 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Fortification won four starts back but has been unplaced most recently, and 49 days off the track is a fitness query; he has run over today's trip and going, carries 114 lb from stall 12, and his rating of 92 suggests some upside if sharper.
AI verdict

SR 94 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Ranked 13 of 15 on our figures, It Just Takes Time is hard to fancy despite being lightly competitive in the weights at 114 lb; that ninth last time out overshadows a win two starts back, and experience over today's trip and going offers slim consolation.
AI verdict

SR 76 suggests ability but 22/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Brighton Boy has run over today's trip and going, and a win and a second feature in recent starts hint at ability, but three subsequent below-par efforts and a trainer firing at just 5% in the last fortnight give real cause for caution.
AI verdict

SR 66 suggests ability but 25/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Flight Control won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, giving him solid recent claims, though he carries 114 lb from stall 11 and our rating of 91 ranks him ninth of fifteen, suggesting he faces a stiff ask against the top end of this field.
AI verdict

SR 91 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
