Hectic heads our ratings and has run over today's trip and going, with a third two starts back and another third four starts back showing he can get involved, though he's yet to win in his last six. Our 70 sits above his official 65, and he returns fresh after 26 days from stall 6.

SR 61 suggests ability but 17/2 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Wish This arrives as a leading danger, having run second two starts back and with experience of today's trip and going, while our rating of 67 ranks him second of 13 and sits above his official 62. The main risk is that he is yet to win and was only sixth last time out after 45 days off.

Speeding Bullet comes here in good heart after a second last time out, just 15 days ago, and has also finished second three starts back; he has run over today's trip and going. The risk is that he's yet to win in his last six starts, so he still has to get his head in front.

Rye arrives in solid recent form, with a fourth last time out and a winner two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Against that, 136 lb is a notable burden and the stable's 2/37 record over the last 14 days is a concern.

Mayo County has finished third in her last two starts and has run over today's trip and going, while 18 days since her last outing keeps her fresh enough. She hasn't won since five starts back, though, and 135 lb from stall 1 is a fair burden at an official mark of 60.

Winner last time out and back quickly after just eight days, Woolridge has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 64 ranks him fourth of 13; the risk is a patchy record, with an eighth and a fourth in the two runs before that win.

Jet Warrior is winless in his last six, with a fifth last time out and three unplaced runs before that, so he is hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, is only 10 days since his last outing, and our rating ranks him tenth of 13, though a third six starts back is a small positive.

Pit Boss has run over today's trip and on this going, but he's been well beaten in his last three starts, an eighth last time out after a ninth three starts back. Back in just eight days, he carries 133 lb from stall three, and our rating of 62 only ranks him eighth of 13.

Macedonian bounced back with a second last time out, just eight days ago, and has run over today's trip and going before, but he is winless in his last six and a pair of eighths and ninths shows his inconsistency. Trainer's cold spell (1 from 31) and 130 lb from draw 9 add to the doubts.

Sedgemoor is hard to fancy, having finished a sixth last time out and a ninth two starts back, and he returns after 95 days off. In his favour, he has run over today's trip and going before, and he was a winner six starts back and races off an official rating of 51.
AI verdict

SR 31 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 28/1.

Victory Sound was third last time out, 18 days ago, and has a winner three starts back, plus experience of today's trip and going, but he has been beaten in both runs since. Carrying 126 lb from stall four, he is hard to fancy with our figures ranking him 12th of 13.

Lord Abama was fourth last time out and third two starts back, so he arrives in decent shape after 25 days off, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in his last six, he carries 125 lb from draw 8 with a yard cold at 1/31, while our rating of 63 sits well above his official 50.

Approaching Dawn has been beaten in his last four, finishing seventh last time out after a fifth and another fifth, and his sole win in his last six came five starts back, so he's hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, and an official mark of 47 is lowly, but our rating ranks him last of 13.

SR 27 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 28/1.

Wish This
Confidence: Speculative

Wish This (SR:62, 13/2) shares the joint-highest SR in the field alongside Speeding Bullet, but crucially combines that rating with a proven course record (W1P2 at Newcastle AW), a drop in class (ClassMv:↓1), a mark 2lb below last win (MarkMv:-2), and the most aggressive market move in the race — steaming in 39% from its opening price. That kind of market compression in an apprentice handicap at this level is a strong signal. Blinkers are fitted (HG:b) suggesting connections are expecting a forward move, and 9-11 is a manageable weight given the SR and class drop. Speeding Bullet has drifted 8% (Mkt:out8%) and has DistFit:- at 6f, weakening its case despite matching SR; Wish This is the better-backed, better-placed runner. Each-way alternative: Pit Boss. Main danger: Pit Boss — Pit Boss (SR:59, 8/1) has an outstanding course record (W2P12 at Newcastle AW), has steamed in 51% in the market — the second-largest move in the field — and drops a class (ClassMv:↓1) for the Liam Bailey yard, making it the clear Stable:1 runner from that yard and a genuine threat to beat Wish This.

Case against 4 clamped
  • Form string 685926 shows a '2' last time but the five prior runs include a '9' and '6' — no win in at least 6 outings and recent form is patchy rather than progressive.
  • Jockey Jake Dickson (claim 3lb) strikes at only 12% overall; in apprentice handicaps at Newcastle AW that low strike rate becomes more exposed against sharper claiming rivals like Myla Coppins (17%).
  • 45-day absence is the joint-longest in the field; first-time blinkers on a horse returning from a near-seven-week layoff is a combination that frequently needs the run rather than sparks an immediate…
  • Pit Boss (W2P12 at Newcastle AW, in51% market move, 8 days since last run) has a far superior course record and sharper recent fitness — the in-running market may be backing the wrong steamer.
