Priapos has run over today's trip and going, and back-to-back wins four and three starts back show he can produce on his day, but consecutive unplaced efforts since then raise questions, and our rating of 82 leaves him with something to prove at 135 lb from stall 3.

SR 58 suggests ability but 33/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Nostrum heads the ratings here and his speed figure of 88 underlines his claims, with experience over today's trip and going working in his favour; the concern is a winless run of six recent starts that includes two unplaced efforts to close.

Walsingham won six starts back, but that victory gives him a fitness edge at 22 days off, and he has run over today's trip and going before; carrying 134 lb from stall 12, he has the conditions in his favour despite a modest run of form since.

Hot Cash shaped with real promise when finishing second three starts back, and his experience over today's trip and going gives him a strong each-way profile from stall 11; the main concern is his winless run of form in his last five starts.

Golden Redemption showed promise with a second three starts back and a pair of thirds before that, but back-to-back disappointing finishes of seventh and eighth in recent starts are a concern, and he returns winless after 57 days off carrying 132 lb from stall nine.

Count Palatine won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, but a sixth two starts back and unplaced efforts elsewhere in recent starts temper enthusiasm; 131 lb from stall 10 is no help either.

Winless in his last five starts, On The River nonetheless brings solid placed form and has run over today's trip and going, with a rating of 86 lending substance to his claims; the worry is whether he can convert consistency into a win when it matters most.

Highland Olly won three starts back but has since finished seventh and fifth, and ranked 11 of 12 on our figures he looks hard to fancy at the weights; he has run over today's trip and going before, and 18 days between runs leaves him reasonably fresh.

Tele Red won two starts back and has been placed in three of his other four recent runs, but 310 days off the track is a significant concern; he has experience of today's trip and going, and his 85 rating suggests ability, though that lengthy absence makes him hard to trust fully.

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures and returning from an 80-day absence, Wondrous Light is hard to fancy despite her two wins in her last five starts; she has run over today's trip and going before, but a speed rating of 66 leaves plenty to find.

Winless in his last six starts and ranked tenth of twelve on our figures, Panelli is hard to fancy despite the experience over today's trip and going; the seventh last time out is the most recent evidence, and 118 lb from stall 13 adds little encouragement.

Hot Cash (SR 84, 9/2) is the joint-highest SR in the field alongside On The River, but crucially carries 9-7 — a 5lb pull on On The River at 9-2 — and is running off a mark 2lb lower than at last win (MarkMv:-2), the only runner in the field with a favourable mark adjustment. The market has shortened 10% since opening, confirming stable confidence from the Jack Channon yard (14% strike rate, 472 runners — a solid volume operation). Form reading 02280 shows modest recent finishes but the class step (ClassMv:=) is appropriate, and the drop in mark is the key lever. The GoingFit:? is a concern given the soft ground, but the same uncertainty applies to most rivals, and the weight-and-mark combination is the strongest package on offer.
Each-way alternative: Wondrous Light.
Main danger: On The River — On The River (SR 87, 4/1) is the highest-rated horse in the field, has been backed in 14% since opening, and the Harriet Bethell yard runs at a strong 16% strike rate — despite the GoingFit:- flag, the market money is hard to ignore at this price.
⚖Case against4clamped▾
Form reading -02280 shows Hot Cash has finished 8th twice in recent starts with no win in 5 outings — the MarkMv:-2 drop has not yet triggered a return to form.
36 days since last run is the longest layoff among the leading market principles, and soft ground at Beverley (GoingFit:?) adds further uncertainty for a horse with no confirmed soft-ground form.
On The River (SR:87, 4/1) holds a 3-point SR superiority and is shortening faster in the market (in14% vs in10%), suggesting sharper professional confidence in the rival despite the 5lb weight pull.
Wondrous Light (SR:84, 11/2) matches Hot Cash's SR, has a proven Beverley course record (W1P1), and is also market-supported (in23%), providing a well-handicapped course specialist as a direct threat.
