Ga Law has twice finished third in his last four starts, a third two starts back and another three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating makes him the one to beat despite top weight of 168 lb, though 309 days off is a reservation.

SR 137 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.
Tommy's Oscar has been consistent, with a second five starts back, a win four starts back, a second two runs ago and a fourth last time out, and he has run on today's going before. Fresh enough after 21 days, but 161 lb is a hefty burden and the main risk.

SR 129 backed by market confidence at 10/3 — a genuine contender.
Mars Harper showed he can get involved with a second two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our 137 rating ranks him third of five. The main risk is a 155-day absence, plus 153 lb on his back after a sixth last time out.

SR 102 suggests ability but 25/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.
Sure Touch has been consistent, finishing fourth last time out, third two starts back, and a winner five starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Fresh from a 29-day break with the yard in form, the risk is carrying 149 lb off a mark of 130.

Favourable weight of 10-9 gives a real edge in this handicap.
Triple Trade was sixth last time out and unseated two starts back, with a win now five starts old and 193 days off the track, so he is hard to fancy at 147 lb. On the plus side, he has run over today's trip and going, and the yard is in form with 9 winners from 32 in the last 14 days.

Tommy's Oscar (SR:129, 10/3) carries 11-7 — a 9lb advantage over top-weight Ga Law (SR:137, 12-0) and a meaningful 8lb edge on Sure Touch (SR:132, 10-9). That weight pull is decisive in a five-runner veterans' handicap at Class 2. His form-string 2142-4 shows consistent competitiveness at this level and he arrives on just 21 days' rest, suggesting connections are satisfied with his condition. Ann Hamilton's 16% strike rate with only 32 career runners signals a small, selective operation — they don't run for the sake of it. GoingFit:? and DistFit:? are unknowns, but in a thin field where every rival has at least one clear negative (Ga Law's GoingFit:-, Sure Touch's GoingFit:-, Triple Trade drifting), Tommy's Oscar has the cleanest profile against the actual race conditions.
Each-way alternative: Sure Touch.
Main danger: Sure Touch — Sure Touch (SR:132, 2/1) is the market favourite, has been backed in 15% since opening, boasts a remarkable Course:W3P4 record at Market Rasen, Sean Bowen in the saddle is a top booking, and DistFit:+ confirms proven ability at today's trip — the only material concern is GoingFit:- on good-to-soft, but course specialists often find ways to handle conditions they've previously struggled with.
