Elemental Eye shaped with real promise when second last time out, and a winner two starts back, showing he handles today's distance and going; a 55-day absence is the only query, but his rating of 72 marks him as the one to beat here.

SR 75 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Marbuzet has run over today's trip and going, and our rating puts him second among eight here, suggesting he is well-equipped to mount a strong challenge; the concern is that he has been winless in his last five starts, with a ninth last time out the immediate worry.

SR 48 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.
Time Turner has hit the frame in two of his last three starts, including a second two starts back and a third last time out, and he has experience over today's trip — the main question is whether 135 lb blunts his chance.

SR 63 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
An absence of nearly two years makes Pfingstberg very hard to assess on fitness alone, and he ranks seventh of eight on our figures, yet he has run over today's trip and going before and boasts two wins in his last five starts.

SR 62 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Winless in her last five starts but has placed on two of her three most recent outings, and 22 days between runs suggests she arrives fresh; the weight of 134 lb is a stern burden, however, that may blunt her chances of converting that consistency into something more.

SR 59 suggests ability but 13/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Winless in his last five starts, Spooky Wooky at least has experience of today's trip and conditions in his favour, and 22 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh; however, a fourth last time out and a seventh two starts back leave his form looking modest heading in.

SR 60 suggests ability but 9/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Punxsutawney Phil's experience over today's distance and going is a genuine asset, and a rating of 70 puts him ahead of the official mark, suggesting he retains ability — though winless in his last five starts and returning after 527 days off, rustiness is the obvious concern.

Winless in his last five starts, Jedhi Knight nevertheless shows some consistency — third and second among those runs — and has run over today's trip and going before, but rated 8 of 8 on our figures he faces a stiff task against this field.

Shopaholic (SR:59, 13/2) carries a fair weight of 9-8 and has shown a market move inward of 13% with no headgear complications and a recent run just 22 days ago suggesting good condition. The form string 57923 shows improvement in the final digit (3rd last time), and while stepping up one class, the light framing around this apprentice handicap over a marathon 2m0f32y on soft suggests stamina and willingness matter more than raw class. Shopaholic's jockey Conor Whiteley (19% career strike rate from 135 rides) is the strongest apprentice booking in the field by a clear margin, and in a race where most runners show DistFit:? and GoingFit:? — meaning nobody has a proven edge — the market money and jockey quality are the differentiators. The absence of any standout form or proven stayer tilts the verdict toward the horse with the sharpest pilot and clearest positive market move.
Each-way alternative: Spooky Wooky.
Main danger: Spooky Wooky — Spooky Wooky (SR:60, 9/2) carries the lightest competitive weight at 9-5, has shortened 8% in the market, and at 4 years old is at the right age for improvement — in a field where stamina and light weight on soft ground are decisive, that weight edge could be the winning factor.

Form string 57923 shows Shopaholic has finished 5th, 7th, 9th, 2nd and 3rd — the 9th place finish in the sequence is a significant red flag sandwiched between poor runs, suggesting inconsistency rath…
SR:59 is the second-lowest rating in the field; Elemental Eye (SR:75), Time Turner (SR:63) and Pfingstberg (SR:62) all hold a meaningful class and ratings edge over Shopaholic at today's 2m0f32y trip.
Jack Jones trains at just 10% strike rate from 393 runners — a modest yard — and there is no Stable flag or notable stable form indicator to suggest Shopaholic is in a particularly live yard moment.
Marbuzet has drifted to 18/1 yet moved in 29% in the market — a sharper move than Shopaholic's 13% — while Punxsutawney Phil moved in 23%, meaning Shopaholic's market move is not uniquely compelling…
