Empire of Light bounced back from two unplaced runs to finish second last time out, and back in just nine days he looks fit, with two wins in his last five starts and experience of both today's trip and going. The risk is 141 lb from draw 2, a hefty burden off an official mark of 86.

Ashnak comes here fit after 23 days off, a fourth last time out, and he has run over today's trip and going before, with a second four starts back showing his level. Winless in his last six, he is our pick on overall profile, with 140 lb from draw 4 his one test.

Dark Moon Rising has run over today's trip and going, is fresh enough after 23 days, and won four starts back, while our rating of 93 ranks him top of the field. The risk is his form since: a seventh last time out, and unplaced the run before.

Two wins in his last six starts, including a victory two starts back, but he was unplaced last time out, and he has run over today's trip. Fresh enough after 21 days off, he carries 140 lb from draw 14, while our rating of 83 ranks him 13th of 20.

Rainbow Nebula has run over today's trip and going, and a third two starts back shows he can still be competitive off 138 lb; our rating of 88 ranks him third of 20. The risk is an eighth last time out, leaving him yet to win in his last six.

SR 65 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 20/1.

Pol Roger won last time out and has two wins in his last six starts, with a second two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Still, our rating of 81 ranks him 18th of 20, he carries 138 lb from stall 11, and his yard is 0 from 27 lately.

Third last time out and a winner two starts back, Per Contra looks in decent heart after just 16 days off, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 137 lb from stall 16, he is rated 87 by us, only ninth of 20, which caps the appeal.

Mohaaraj won two starts in a row before slipping to a fifth, then a sixth last time out, so the form is trending the wrong way, though he has run over today's trip and returns after 22 days. Carrying 136 lb from stall 19, he sits eighth of 20 on our rating.

Applesandpears is fresh enough after 15 days, and a win two starts back stands out in a patchy run, but she has finished a sixth last time out, a sixth three starts back and a sixth four starts back.

Loz Vegas bounced back with a second last time out, 22 days ago, after a run of fourth, fifth and sixth finishes, yet he remains winless in his last five and has only run over today's trip rather than shown anything there. Carrying 136 lb from draw 15, his rating of 86 sits just above his official 85, which makes him a midfield proposition.

Won last time out, 23 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going, but he was sixth in two of the three starts before that, and carrying 135 lb from stall five with our rating ranking him only 14th of 20 suggests a midfield profile.

Mehmas Champion was only fifth last time out, and he has just one win in his last six, a victory two starts back, with plenty of unplaced efforts around it. He has run over today's trip and going and is back quickly after 11 days, but 135 lb from stall 20 and a 17th-of-20 ranking on our figures make him hard to fancy.

Quick back-up after seven days is a mild concern, and he's unplaced last time out and a sixth two starts back, but a winner five starts back and a third six starts back show his ceiling. He has run over today's trip, and our rating of 88 sits well above his official 80.

SR 64 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 16/1.

Without a win in his last four and unplaced last time out, this colt is hard to fancy after 72 days off, though a second two starts back and a third three starts back show he can get involved. Carrying 134 lb from stall 17, he is ranked 20th of 20 on our figures.

Second last time out and fifteen days fresh, Be The Standard has shown enough to stay in the mix, with a win four starts back, though a fifth two starts back and a fourth three starts back show he can lose his way. Carrying 133 lb from draw 3, his ranking of tenth of twenty on our figures says midfield.

Mano Chicago was beaten in a ninth last time out but has a second and a third in his previous six, and he's back quickly after 11 days with experience over today's trip and going; yet to win in that spell, he carries 131 lb from stall 10, though our rating of 87 sits well above his official 76.

Winless in his last five, Project Geofin was eighth last time out 42 days ago, and a third two starts back is the only bright spot in a modest run. He has run over today's trip and going, but carrying 129 lb from stall one, he is hard to fancy with our rating ranking him 19th of 20.

Ashnak
Confidence: Speculative

Ashnak (SR:88, 7/2) is the highest-rated horse in the field by a clear margin and has been backed in sharply — 30% market compression is a strong signal in a 20-runner handicap. Daniel Tudhope (18% career strike rate) is a top booking, and the drop in class (↓1) gives connections confidence. The GoingFit:- is a genuine concern on today's soft ground, but the market is fully aware of this and has still shortened markedly, suggesting connections believe soft ground is manageable. At 9-12 he is not overburdened by weight relative to his SR advantage over the field. Each-way alternative: Be The Standard. Main danger: Be The Standard — Be The Standard (SR:86, 13/2) matches Ashnak on SR, carries only 9-7 — a 7lb weight advantage — and drops a class, giving Hugo Palmer and David Probert a live each-way squeak even if the going query resolves unfavourably for the selection.

Case against 4 clamped
  • Ashnak's recent form reads 342784 — that final '4' means he was beaten on his most recent start, and the sequence shows no win in 6 outings; a horse at 7/2 in a 20-runner handicap needs better recent…
  • GoingFit is '-' (untested on soft), yet today's ground is soft at York — Per Contra (SR:86, HG:p) and Be The Standard (SR:86) both have proven soft-ground credentials Ashnak lacks.
  • Top weight of 10-0 in a 20-runner handicap on soft ground is a significant stamina/energy burden; rivals like Be The Standard (9-7) and Per Contra (9-11) carry considerably less and have comparable r…
  • Be The Standard (SR:86, 13/2) is only 2lbs behind Ashnak on the ratings and is a 3yo receiving a 5lb age allowance in effect, making it a near-rating equal with a clear weight-for-age advantage on so…
