Manoir De Mirande arrives on the back of back-to-back wins, with a runner-up finish last time out keeping him in the form of his life, and he has experience of today's trip and going; 18 days between runs is a perfectly acceptable gap for the top-rated contender here.
AI verdict

SR 118 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

O'Grady Cracker arrives in red-hot form, winning back-to-back last time out and two starts back, and his experience over today's trip and going is a clear asset; the main concern is that his 163 lb burden could blunt that momentum.

Houndsworth has run over today's trip and going, arrives fit on a 14-day turnaround, and our rating of 111 marks him out as a serious threat; the concern is that he has not won in his last four starts.
AI verdict

SR 92 suggests ability but 12/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last five starts and drawn from a yard striking at just 4% in the last fortnight, William F Browne faces an uphill task, though he has experience of today's going and ran just five days ago.

Ocean Murphy finished second last time out, which maintains his recent profile, but his win two starts back is sandwiched by some poor efforts and he ranks fifth of six on our figures, making him hard to fancy at this level despite a prompt return and going experience.

SR 106 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Winless in his last five starts and ranked bottom of the field on our figures, Nile Star faces a stiff task here; experience on today's going is a minor plus, but 141 lb is a significant burden for a gelding yet to find the winner's enclosure in recent starts.
AI verdict

SR 79 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Ocean Murphy
Confidence: Speculative

Ocean Murphy (SR:106, 11/4) is the pick. The 12% market steam is the standout signal in this field — money is moving with purpose and the market is rarely wrong at this level without a reason. Darragh O'Keeffe (14% career strike rate, 909 runners) is a significant booking upgrade over the journeymen riders elsewhere. The form string 74-912 shows a last-time-out second and the race before a win, confirming peak current form, and a GoingFit:~ on good ground is workable rather than prohibitive. Carrying only 10-4 gives a meaningful weight advantage over top-weighted Manoir De Mirande (11-12) despite the SR gap, and MarkMv:+6 is a modest enough rise not to be a dealbreaker given the trajectory. Each-way alternative: Manoir De Mirande. Main danger: O'Grady Cracker — O'Grady Cracker (SR:111, 6/4) is top-rated, brings J J Slevin who is a significant jockey, and a last-two-run form of 1-1 is compelling recent form — though the MarkMv:+13 rise and GoingFit:? introduce enough risk to keep it off the top spot.

Case against 4 clamped
  • GoingFit:~p (previously won/placed on soft/heavy) but today's ground is good — Ocean Murphy's form peak may be going-dependent and this surface is untested at its best.
  • Trainer P J Rothwell strikes at just 6% (795 runners) — a markedly weak yard stat that undermines the jockey upgrade narrative; O'Keeffe can't fully compensate for a cold stable.
  • SR:106 faces Manoir De Mirande (SR:118) and O'Grady Cracker (SR:111) — a 12-point rating deficit to the top-rated is a material class gap in a small 6-runner field with nowhere to hide.
  • O'Grady Cracker at 6/4 is the jolly and has won two of its last two (Form:800-11) with J J Slevin up — the market leader's recent form is arguably stronger and more consistent than Ocean Murphy's 74-…
