Third two starts back and a runner-up five starts back, Woolridge has shown enough ability in recent starts to head the ratings here, and he has run over today's trip and going before; winless in his last five, he needs to find more consistency but rates the one to beat on a 59-day return.

SR 49 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 14/1.
Twilight Madness has experience of today's trip and going, and his win in recent starts shows the ability is there, though his last three outings have been disappointing and he will need to bounce back sharply from stall two carrying 135 lb.

SR 47 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 14/1.
Chasing Gold showed what he can do when winning three starts back, though a fourth and runner-up finish in his last two suggest consistency remains elusive; he has run over today's trip and going, and 134 lb from stall four makes this a fair enough ask.

SR 59 suggests ability but 11/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Walking On Clouds won last time out and was a winner three starts back, giving him two victories in his last six starts, and he brings distance and going experience plus a low draw into the equation. The concern is a 42-day absence since that most recent success.

SR 67 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Winless in his last five starts and ranked seventh of nine on our figures, My Mate Kev faces a stiff task here; 91 days off the track does little to inspire confidence, though he has run over today's trip and going before and the experience of carrying 133 lb from stall nine is there.

Landed a win three starts back but has since posted a sixth and an eighth, and 68 days off the track adds a fitness query; he has experience of today's trip and going, though, and a rating of 62 keeps him competitive at the weights.

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Von Krolock faces a stiff ask, though he does return in fair order off a 20-day break, has run over today's trip and going before, and a runner-up finish last time out offers at least some encouragement.

Rated 11 lb above her official mark, Unico has run over today's trip and going and shapes as a clear second-ranked threat on our figures, though her three consecutive finishes towards the rear in recent starts make a turnaround in form the key question.

Beaten in each of his last five starts and ranked eighth of nine on our figures, Henry Tudor makes little appeal despite a win six starts back; he has run over today's trip and going before, and a recent third last time out offers the one slim foothold.

Walking On Clouds (SR 67, 9/2) is the clear SR leader in this Class 6 field and carries a workable 9-7 — not a punishing burden. The form string 953171 shows a recent win and the horse brings Course:W1P2 at Lingfield, which is a meaningful edge on an AW specialist track where course knowledge matters. Trainer Chelsea Banham hits 13% strike rate from 131 runners — strong for this level — and Joey Haynes, while modest in overall stats, is paired with a horse the yard clearly knows well. The slight 9% market drift is a mild concern, but with a MarkMv:+3 it is not absurdly hammered up in the weights, and the combination of top SR, course form, and recent winning run makes this the most compelling case in the field.
Each-way alternative: Von Krolock.
Main danger: My Mate Kev — My Mate Kev (SR 61, 11/4) has steamed in 25% in the market — the strongest move in the race — and jockey Marco Ghiani hits 14% career strike rate from 873 rides; the money is clearly informed even if the DistFit:- flag and 91-day absence give pause.
⚖Case against4clamped▾
42-day absence is the longest layoff in the field for a 7yo — fitness question on return, especially with headgear (b) listed suggesting a horse that needs managing.
Market drifted 9% out despite being the SR leader; Von Krolock and My Mate Kev are both shortening, with My Mate Kev steaming in 25% to 11/4 — the money is against this pick.
Joey Haynes hits only 7% overall and is meaningfully outgunned in the saddle by Ghiani (14%) on My Mate Kev and Fallon (20%) on Court Of Session — jockey disadvantage is concrete here.
MarkMv:+3 means the handicapper has responded to that recent win; at 9-7 the horse is 3lb higher than when last successful, and Class 6 fields at this level leave little margin for a penalties rise.
