Shoot First returned a fourth last time out, with a third two starts back, and he has run over today's trip, while our 143 rating ranks him second of 14 and sits well clear of his official 135. The main risk is a 299-day absence, and he also carries 166 lb.
AI verdict

SR 98 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

Sa Majeste has a third three starts back, and he has run over today's trip, while our rating of 143 ranks him third of 14 and sits well above his official 130. He's been pulled up in two of his last three, though, and the 177-day absence plus 161 lb are the main risk.

Balko d'Ange has been scruffy over fences lately, with a fall two starts back and another four starts back, and he returns after 181 days off, though a third five starts back shows ability. Our rating of 134 sits above his official 129, but 160 lb is a stiff burden.

Open Secret has a win and a second in his last five, and he's had 28 days since his last run, which is a fair break. Our rating of 134 ranks him fourth of 14 and is above his official 127, though he's unplaced in his last two and carries 158 lb.

SR 114 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Stumptown has won two of his last four, including a victory two starts back, and was a fourth last time out, while he has run over today's trip and tops our ratings at 158. The reservation is a 229-day absence, with 158 lb to carry.

Seventh last time out and a sixth the run before, but two seconds three and four starts back show he can go close, and he has run over today's trip; 203 days off and 156 lb are the concerns, though our rating of 134 ranks him fifth of 14.

One Big Boum won twice in his last five starts, a first three starts back and another four back, but he's been a sixth last time out and a fifth before that. A 172-day absence, 156 lb and an official rating of 125 add to the task, though he has run over today's trip.

Sportinthepark won three starts back, but he was pulled up last time and returns after 247 days off, with a yard going 1 from 23 lately. He has run over today's trip and our rating of 128 sits above his official 125, yet 156 lb is a big burden.

Teed Up showed a bit of life when third last time out, but he was unplaced in the four runs before that and is yet to win in that spell. He has run over today's trip and returns after 40 days, though 150 lb is a big burden off 119.

Stay Gold won last time out and was second and third in the runs before that, but that form is 479 days old, and a gelding returning from such a long break is hard to fancy under 146 lb. Our rating of 118 ranks him 11th of 14.

West Of Bally was beaten into eighth last time out and returns after 253 days off, with his trainer's 1/23 recent record adding to the doubts under 144 lb. On the plus side, he won three starts back, was third two starts back, and has run over today's trip.

Sportinthepark
Confidence: Speculative

Sportinthepark (SR:113, 6/1) is the standout on multiple converging signals. A course specialist with W2P2 at Galway, it carries just 11-2 — lighter than Open Secret and Stumptown on comparable marks — and the market has backed it firmly (Mkt:in18%), the only meaningful steamer in the field alongside the drifting pack. Trainer Noel Meade at 11% strike rate with Sam Ewing (12%) is a workmanlike but solid pairing, and the +5 mark move is modest rather than punitive. The 247-day absence is a concern, but the stable support at 6/1 into an 18% steam suggests connections are satisfied with its prep. Against a field where the two co-favourites (Teed Up, GoingFit:- and Mkt:out47%; Mystic Malina, MarkMv:+8 with a '1P17-2' form string showing unreliability) both carry significant negatives, Sportinthepark's course form is the clearest tangible edge in this race. Each-way alternative: Open Secret. Main danger: Open Secret — Gordon Elliott / Jack Kennedy (18% / 23% career strike rates) is the most powerful connections pairing in the race, Open Secret is GoingFit:+ and at 5yo is the most progressive horse in the field, making its MarkMv:+55 the main and only serious concern.

Case against 4 clamped
  • 247-day absence is a significant layoff for a jumper; course form (W2P2) was built over multiple seasons and may not reflect current fitness after such a long break.
  • Form string '4/10P-' shows a pulled-up last time out — the most recent completed run was a win but the final outing was a PU, raising questions about soundness or training issues preceding this retur…
  • SR:113 is below Hgranca De Thaix (SR:120) and Stumptown (SR:126), meaning on ratings alone Sportinthepark is not the most talented in the field despite the market support.
  • Trainer Noel Meade at 11% and jockey Sam Ewing at 12% is a modest combination; the 18% market steam could reflect place-market or each-way money rather than a genuine win confidence move.
