12/1 7/1 12/1
Exclusive Code bounced back to win last time out and has experience of today's trip and conditions, making him a genuine threat at 135 lb from stall 11; the main concern is a trainer without a winner in twenty-five attempts over the last fortnight.
AI verdict

SR 92 suggests ability but 11/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Three wins in his last five starts, including a victory last time out and again three starts back, mark St Anton as a serious contender; the 41-day absence is the one factor to weigh against him.

9/1 FCST 17/2
Outback Heat arrives on the back of a win two starts back and a second last time out, showing consistent form across his last four starts; he has experience over today's trip and our rating has him top-rated, albeit with company, with 64 days between runs the only minor query.
AI verdict

SR 92 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in his last five starts, Command The Stars does at least bring distance and going experience to the table, and 25 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh; however, a disqualification on latest outing and a string of sevenths before that leave plenty to prove off 130 lb.

Third last time out gives Blue Courvoisier a recent form boost, and his trainer is firing at 27% over the past fortnight, but an unplaced run two starts back and a speed rating of 87 suggest he remains one to treat cautiously from stall 5 at 128 lb.

Noelan Star won last time out and has experience over today's trip, with his trainer firing at 36% in the past fortnight — strong positives; however, he carries 128 lb from stall seven and an unplaced run two starts back tempers enthusiasm slightly.

Lion of Alba brings distance and going experience to this, and our rating of 100 ranks him second among 20 rivals, suggesting he holds strong claims on his best form — that win in his last five starts shows the ability is there, but a struggling trainer at 1/28 over the past fortnight is the concern.

Welbury won last time out and scored two starts back as well, so he arrives on the back of back-to-back victories and in sound nick at just 13 days since last seen; he has run over today's trip before, and a trainer firing at 36% strengthens the case, though stall 19 and a speed figure of 77 suggest he may need things to fall right from out wide.

Intense Vision has shown he can win at this level, scoring back-to-back victories four and five starts back, though two unplaced efforts in his last two runs give pause; he has run over today's trip before and returns after a 22-day break carrying 126 lb from stall 16.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked 18th of 20 on our figures, Storming Point has experience of today's distance and going but that sixth last time out does little to inspire confidence, despite his consistency at placed level in the runs prior.

Daydreama was runner-up last time out and showed similar form a second six starts back, yet has been largely out of the money in between, leaving him winless in his last six starts; experience over today's trip and going helps his cause, though a mark of 84 and our rating of 96 suggest he carries weight to overcome from stall 8.

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures and with a speed rating that makes the task look stiff, Le Samourai is hard to fancy at face value despite a yard operating at a 28% strike rate; second last time out is a plus, and he has run over today's trip before, but the weight of the ratings evidence is against him.

Zennor Storm
Confidence: Speculative

Zennor Storm (SR 100, 10/3) is the clear class leader in this field — the highest SR by 4 points over Blue Courvoisier (SR 96) — and carries a light 9-2 for a horse of his ability. The market has shortened 16% since opening, indicating genuine confidence, and trainer William Haggas operates at a 21% career strike rate, the strongest yard represented. The form string 1-9042 shows inconsistency, but the recent '2' last time out and the application of a hood (HG:p) for the first time suggests connections are addressing his temperament or focus issues ahead of this big-field handicap. As the Haggas yard's #1 runner (Eklleem has drifted 42% and carries a weaker SR of 79 with a doubt over distance), the stable resources are clearly directed at Zennor Storm, and the weight of 9-2 is workable given his SR advantage. Each-way alternative: Bearish. Main danger: Blue Courvoisier — Blue Courvoisier (SR 96, 8/1) has steamed in 16% in the market, carries a featherweight 9-2 for his SR, and Clive Cox with Rossa Ryan aboard represents a capable combination — the '3' last time out at a higher class suggests he is primed to improve here on a mark he can exploit.

Case against 4 clamped
  • Form string 1-9042 contains a '9' — a near-last finish — which signals this horse can capitulate badly; the '4' two runs back also shows he failed to build on his win, raising doubts about consistenc…
  • First-time hood (HG:p) is an unknown quantity: if the equipment change is needed to manage a temperament issue, there is genuine risk it fails to produce the desired effect on debut use, particularly…
  • Tom Marquand's strike rate of 13% is notably below the Haggas yard's 21% — the stable's best pilot William Buick is on stablemate Eklleem, suggesting connections may actually favour Eklleem's chances…
  • Bearish (SR:94) is receiving 5lb from Zennor Storm and has shortened 39% in the market with Oisin Murphy (21% SR) up, offering strong each-way value at 10/1 with more consistent recent form (4-121) a…
