Winless in his last five starts and ranked ninth of ten on our figures, Trooper is hard to fancy at the weights carrying 135 lb, though he has run over today's trip before and 25 days off the track leaves him reasonably fresh.

SR 21 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 40/1.
Basilette caught the eye with a second last time out and a third three starts back, showing consistent ability at this level, and her experience over today's trip and going counts in her favour; the main risk is whether she can convert that placed form into a win off 133 lb.

SR 59 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Consistent enough to post three runner-up finishes in his last five starts, Just Adair has experience of today's going and our rating of 61 marks him as a genuine danger, though he remains winless in recent starts and will need to convert that placed form at last.

Fram Castle arrives here in decent nick, placing third last time out and second two starts back, giving him back-to-back placed efforts heading into this; he has run over today's trip and going before, and at 132 lb the weight is workable for a gelding rated 61 on our figures.

SR 60 suggests ability but 11/4 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Winless in her last six starts, with a refused among those efforts, Prophet Squeeze faces a stiff ask carrying 129 lb and ranked eighth of ten on our figures; experience over today's going is the one small comfort in an otherwise hard-to-fancy profile.

Cherry Cola rates considerably higher than her official mark suggests, and having run over today's trip and going she arrives with genuine claims here; the concern is a winless recent run of five starts that underlines the need to convert.

SR 38 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 16/1.
Winless in his last six starts, Alex The Great at least has experience of today's trip and going to call on, and back-to-back fourths suggest some consistency; however, an official rating of 45 and a 126 lb burden make life hard for him here.

Winless in her last five starts, with three sixths and a seventh among them, Nora Barnacle has been a model of disappointing consistency, and ranked bottom of the field on our figures she faces a stiff task, though she has run over today's trip and going and returns fresh after 81 days off.

Winless in his last six starts, Notable Charm does return quickly on 11 days' rest and has experience of today's going, but a pair of fourths among those efforts represents his best recently, and 122 lb is no help for a horse rated 50 officially.

Winless in her last five starts, Lady Lauren heads here 27 days after her latest fifth, and while she has run over today's going before and our rating edges above her official mark, a consistently modest recent profile makes it hard to fancy her strongly against a full field.

Just Adair (SR:57, 9/4) is one of only two horses in this Class 6 field with an SR in the competitive range, and at age 4 carries the progressive profile that matters in a moderate handicap. The Mkt:in10% move — money arriving from 9/4 — is a meaningful signal in a field where most runners are drifting sharply. The form string 28-226 shows consistency at this level: placed in five of six career starts, never finishing worse than eighth, with the rightmost '6' (last run) explained by an unproven distance and going record (both DistFit:? and GoingFit:?) — today's conditions on good ground at 1m6f are at least not a demonstrated negative, unlike Fram Castle whose GoingFit:- is a concrete concern. Pat Cosgrave's 10% strike rate from 650 career rides gives the yard a reliable pilot, and the Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill yard's 12% strike rate from 155 runners is solid for a smaller operation.
Each-way alternative: Basilette.
Main danger: Basilette — Basilette (SR:59, 9/4) is the highest-rated horse in the field, holds a Course:W1P2 record at Bath, and has a confirmed DistFit:+ at today's trip — the course-and-distance specialisation is the single strongest piece of evidence in the race and could easily overpower Just Adair's market support.
