Gavoo makes a case as a leading danger: our rating of 87 ranks him fourth of 14, and he has run over today's trip and going before, returning just 17 days after his last outing. Recent form is the worry, though, as he is winless in his last six and finished a ninth last time out.
AI verdict

SR 72 suggests ability but 14/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Winless in his last six, Venetian was seventh last time out and has been off for 181 days, which makes him hard to fancy. A second two starts back and experience of today's trip and going are in his favour, but he's rated an outsider by our figures from draw 12.

Brewing was fourth last time out and has been placed three times, finishing third four starts back and second five and six starts back, but he is winless in his last six and returns after 143 days off. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 80 sits above his official 75, though 11th of 14 says plenty.

Bold Style makes appeal as our top-rated runner, having finished a fifth last time out and a third two starts back, while he has run over today's trip and going before. He is yet to win in his last five starts and has been off 40 days, but he is the one to beat from stall five.
AI verdict

SR 67 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

Back-to-back wins two and three starts back, plus a second four and five runs ago, make him a leading threat, and he has run over today's trip before. The risk is an unplaced effort last time out and a 41-day break.

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

Booyea is yet to win in his last six starts, though a fifth last time out, 20 days ago, and a fourth three starts back show he's not far away; he has run over today's trip and our rating of 85 sits above his official 83, but 134 lb from stall three is a stiff ask.

Fresh from a win last time out, Sonoran has run over today's trip and going before, but a fifth two starts back and back-to-back ninths before that show his inconsistency. Carrying 134 lb from draw 6 after 37 days off, he looks a midfield sort on our rating of 84.

Bishopton has run over today's trip and on this going, and he won five starts back, but he's finished fifth, sixth, then fifth in his last three outings. A 93-day absence and 132 lb from stall 11 leave him a midfield proposition, with our rating of 83 placing him ninth of 14.

Consistent type who has finished third last time out, and a second four starts back sits alongside a win five starts back, while he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 87 ranks him third of 14, but 37 days off and 132 lb from stall 14 leave the weight as the main risk.

Naoi arrives a last-time-out winner, with another win three starts back, and she's fresh enough after 18 days, but a ninth two starts back shows the inconsistency, and she carries 129 lb from stall 15. Our figures rank her last of 14, though she has run over today's trip.

Alissam has been consistent, finishing third last time out, another third two starts back, and a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Against that, he has been off for 296 days, and carrying 128 lb from stall two off an official 80 leaves him only midfield on our rating of 84.

Temperance bounced back with a third last time out and returns just seven days later, but she's yet to win in her last six and was seventh or worse in the four runs before that. She has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 85 sits above her official 77.

Ohailbhic has slipped to a sixth last time out and a seventh two starts back after back-to-back wins, and returns from 58 days off. He has run over this trip and on this going, but our figures rate him an outsider, and 127 lb from draw 8 gives him plenty to find.

Won last time out and again five starts back, but sandwiched between those were a seventh, a ninth and an eighth, so she is hard to trust. She has run over today's trip and going, yet 127 lb off 79 and a 30-day break leave her 13th of 14 on our figures from stall 10.

Glyndwr has been drifting, a seventh last time out following a sixth, though a third four starts back shows he has more to offer, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Winless in his last six, he steps up from a 17-day break from draw 17 carrying 126 lb, with our rating of 80 only ranking him 12th of 14.

Golddream has been fifth in three of his last four outings, including last time, and hasn't won since a victory six starts back, so he's hard to fancy after 49 days off. He has run over today's trip and going before, and a third five starts back is the best of his recent form.

Ohailbhic
Confidence: Speculative

Ohailbhic (SR:82, 17/2) is the standout market mover in this 17-runner handicap, having been backed in by a striking 37% since opening — the single largest move in the field — and this money appears well-founded. The form string 831176 shows a last-time-out sixth but crucially the prior run was a win (form reads right-to-left, so the '6' is most recent but '1' preceded it), and the horse has a strong Dundalk course record of W3P4 from previous visits, making it a proven course specialist. It carries a light 9-1 for a 5-year-old in the competitive SR range at 82, giving it a weight edge over Hellorhighwater (9-11) and Naoi (9-3) while matching Daler (9-6). The MarkMv:+4 is manageable, and the trainer John James Feane at 10% strike rate is not glamorous but the decisive market support overrides that concern. Each-way alternative: Hellorhighwater. Main danger: Hellorhighwater — Hellorhighwater (SR:90 — the highest in the field, 6/1) is ridden by Ben Coen, has DistFit:+ at this trip, a recent form line of 221-10 showing consistent placed form, and has shortened 7% in the market — if the stronger ability level translates on this AW surface, it wins.

Case against 4 clamped
  • The prior win ('1' in form) was two runs ago — the most recent run was a 6th, and at 58 days off the track Ohailbhic has not run since that below-par effort, raising fitness questions.
  • SR:82 is matched by Sonoran (82) and beaten by Naoi (85), Alissam (87), and Hellorhighwater (90), all of whom carry less weight and represent superior recent form on ratings.
  • Hellorhighwater (SR:90, 6/1, form 221-10 LTO winner, top jockey Ben Coen, stable in form) is a materially stronger rival on class and recency — Ohailbhic's course record does not offset a 8-point SR…
