Almaqam brings strong claims on the back of a win two starts back, and he has experience of both today's trip and conditions; the concern is a return from 63 days off carrying 134 lb.
AI verdict

SR 112 suggests ability but 18/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ranked bottom but one on our figures and returning after 63 days off, Devil's Advocate is hard to fancy on recent form that shows three finishes of fourth or worse in his last four starts, though he has a win five starts back and experience over today's trip and going in his favour.
AI verdict

SR 83 suggests ability but 200/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ombudsman arrives on the back of three consecutive wins and has won four of his last five starts, giving him a compelling recent profile, and he has experience of both today's trip and going; the 63-day absence is the one query, but his class speaks loudly.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 9-8 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Pride Of Arras showed well when second last time out, and a winner four starts back, but the eighth two starts back is harder to ignore; carrying 134 lb from stall five, he has experience over today's trip and going, and returns on a workable 25-day break.
AI verdict

SR 92 suggests ability but 40/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Zaydann has won each of his last five starts and arrives here 28 days fresh, carrying 134 lb from stall nine; still unexposed, there could be more to come from a colt who continues to answer every question put to him.
AI verdict

SR 95 suggests ability but 28/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Action is winless in his last five starts, though a second four starts back offers some encouragement; fitness looks fine at 25 days since his last run and he has distance and going experience to call on, but recent form has been modest.
AI verdict

SR 85 suggests ability but 200/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Constitution River arrives in blistering form with five consecutive wins in his last five starts, and he has experience of both today's trip and going conditions; carrying 127 lb from stall seven is the one factor to weigh up.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 9-1 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Hawk Mountain arrives with three wins in his last five starts, including a victory three starts back, and has experience of today's trip and going — the 46-day absence is the one question mark over his readiness.
AI verdict

SR 107 suggests ability but 20/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Rated well below his official mark on our figures and ranked seventh of nine, Item faces a stiff ask, though four wins in his last five starts — including a win last time out — and experience over today's trip and going offer genuine positives from stall two.
AI verdict

SR 122 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Ombudsman

Ombudsman owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. With no SR/RPR/TS data on the winner, the Balanced lens leaned on market confidence (95) and pace fit instead. The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.

Constitution River

Constitution River owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. With no SR/RPR/TS data on the winner, the Favourite Focus lens leaned on market confidence (93) and pace fit instead. The profile stays composed even after the chamber introduces race-day variance.

Gemini
Action

Action owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. With no SR/RPR/TS data on the winner, the Value Hunter lens leaned on market confidence (0) and pace fit instead. There is still enough pricing upside to keep the pick from looking overexposed. The profile is live enough to win even with more instability in the simulation.
