Third two starts back is the pick of Glyndwr's recent efforts, and he steps up as the top-rated runner here carrying 140 lb from stall 18, with experience over today's trip adding to his claims — though he remains winless in his last five starts.

SR 65 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 12/1.
Winless in his last six starts, Exquisite Acclaim nonetheless catches the eye as the second-ranked runner in the field on our ratings, has run over today's trip and going, and arrives here fresh just 13 days since his last outing — the chief concern is whether he can finally convert that promise into a result.

Goal Exceeded won three starts back and was third four starts back, giving him some recent positives, but back-to-back fourths since suggest he's finding things tough at present; experience over today's trip and going at least means conditions hold no surprises, and he returns on a quick turnaround from stall two carrying 136 lb.

Winless in his last five starts, Felix Somary at least shows consistency with back-to-back thirds in recent outings, and he has experience of today's trip and conditions; 129 lb from stall five and a mid-table ranking make him a modest each-way player at best.

Dream Legend (SR 78, 11/2, 8-11) combines the strongest multi-signal case in the field: DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm suitability for today's conditions, a recent form line of 6-0131 shows a progressive 3yo winning twice and placing, and a featherweight 8-11 provides a meaningful lbs advantage over Elusive Path (9-4) and Goal Exceeded (9-10). The E D Delany yard runs at a respectable 9% strike rate with only 47 runners (selective operation), and while MarkMv:+13 is a concern, the horse is a 3yo still on an upward curve where such mark rises are routinely absorbed. The market at 11/2 is fair rather than excessive for the profile.
Each-way alternative: Elusive Path.
Main danger: Elusive Path — Elusive Path (SR 81 — highest in the field, G M Lyons/Colin Keane booking at 16%/16% career strike rates, DistFit:+) is the most talented horse on raw SR and has top connections who don't run for fun, making it the most obvious threat despite a slight market drift to 7/2.

A +13 mark rise is the joint-largest in the field and arrives off a win; handicapper has had ample time to assess this 3yo, making the mark harder to dismiss as a routine upward curve adjustment.
54 days since last run is the longest absence in the field for a horse carrying bottom weight — race fitness is a real question, especially in a competitive 18-runner handicap at this pace.
