40/1 16/1 33/1
Back To Me won five starts back and was a second three starts back, and his experience over today's trip and going adds to the case, while our rating of 89 ranks him third of 15. The main risk is two unplaced runs since then and a 48-day break, carrying 138 lb from draw 4.
AI verdict

SR 57 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 25/1.

Majestic Dane has regressed since winning four starts back, following a second three starts back with a ninth two runs ago and an unplaced effort last time, and he has run over today's trip. Carrying 138 lb off an official 82 from stall 9, he is hard to fancy with our figures ranking him 14th of 15.
AI verdict

SR 57 suggests ability but 33/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Waistcoat won three and six starts back but has slipped to a sixth two starts back and a fifth last time out, so the form is cooling. He has run over today's trip and going, is fit after 20 days, and our rating of 82 puts him seventh of 15, with 137 lb from draw 6 to carry.

Righthere Rightnow gets the nod on profile: he has run over today's trip and on this going before, returns fresh after 21 days and shows a third four starts back among his recent runs. Our rating of 91 backs that up, though he is yet to win in his last six.

Beaten into seventh last time out just eight days ago, George Wickham is hard to fancy, with our rating ranking him 13th of 15 and 136 lb to carry from stall 15. On the plus side, he won two starts back, was second three starts back, and has run over today's trip.

SR 73 suggests ability but 10/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Eighth last time out after a win two starts back, Commander of Life has run over today's trip and on this going and returns after 32 days, but that latest flop and 136 lb from stall 11 temper the appeal, though our rating of 84 ranks him fifth of 15.

Lion of Mali signed off with an eighth last time out, but he won two starts back and five starts back, and has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 136 lb from draw 13, he looks a sixth-ranked runner on our rating of 84, so a midfield finish looks likely.
AI verdict

SR 90 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Three wins in his last six starts, including a win two starts back, is the main appeal, and he has run over today's trip and going before, but he was unplaced last time out and returns after 34 days. Carrying 134 lb from stall 2, his figure of 79 ranks him only ninth of 15.

Bintola arrives in good heart after a third last time out and a second two starts back, fresh enough off 20 days and with experience of both today's trip and the going. The main risk is the 134 lb she carries from stall eight, with our rating of 86 ranking her fourth of 15.

Sixth last time out and a winner six starts back, Expert Agent has run over today's trip and going and returns after 20 days; our rating of 91 tops the field of 15 against an official 75. The risk is a recent run of finishes outside the first three, including an eighth two starts back.

Mister Mojito showed decent recent form, third last time out and a winner two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going, but 55 days off and 130 lb make him hard to fancy. Ranked 11 of 15 on our figures, he looks an outsider.

Lunario ran a fourth last time out, 20 days ago, and has a win three starts back, though a sixth and a fourth since suggest he's no better than mid-pack, and he has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 130 lb from stall 14, he's ranked tenth of fifteen on our rating of 79.

Albemagic is winless in his last four starts and was eighth last time out, though he was second two and three starts back and has run over today's trip and going before. Ranked last of 15 on our figures, he looks tough to fancy off 127 lb from stall 10.

Confidence: Speculative

Nanoscience (SR:88, 4/1) is the second-highest rated horse in the field and carries a favourable weight of 9-5 compared to Lion of Mali's 9-10, giving a 5lb pull on the highest-rated runner. The market has shortened 19% since opening — clear money coming in — while Oisin Murphy (22% career strike rate, 2752 runners) is a top-tier booking that reinforces stable confidence. DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ confirm proven ability at today's trip and on good-to-firm, and running off the same mark as last win (MarkMv:=) means connections are not chasing a penalty. Andrew Balding at 18% strike rate with 3062 career runners is a yard that places horses precisely. Each-way alternative: Lion of Mali. Main danger: Lion of Mali — Lion of Mali (SR:90, 4/1) is the highest-rated horse in the field, drops two class tiers, has DistFit:+ and GoingFit:+ on today's conditions, and has placed at this course — the weight burden of 9-10 versus Nanoscience's 9-5 is the only meaningful check on him going one better.

Case against 4 clamped
  • Nanoscience's form reads -13135: that '5' last time out means a fifth-place finish most recently, so the horse comes in on a losing run rather than a peak-form victory.
  • Course:W0P1 — Nanoscience has never won at Newmarket, only placing once, which is a genuine flag on a track that heavily rewards course specialists.
  • Lion of Mali (SR:90) is the highest-rated runner in the field and, despite the 5lb weight concession, Mister Mojito has William Buick (25% strike rate) aboard — the single highest-strike-rate jockey…
