Boy Basilica (SR:152, 7/4) is the class standout in this field by a clear margin — 2 SR points above Zeuster (SR:150), 6 above What A Go I've Had (SR:146), and further clear of the rest. At 9-7 he carries level weight with the next-best rated runners, so there is no weight penalty to offset his ability edge. Billy Loughnane (18% strike rate, 3,217 rides) is a high-quality booking for Richard Hughes, and the 15-day turnaround from the same class (ClassMv:=) signals the yard is satisfied with him. In a novice field where the majority are unraced or have posted 8s and 0s, the SR gap is decisive.
Each-way alternative: Zeuster.
Main danger: Zeuster — Zeuster (SR:150, 10/3) is unraced and therefore completely unexposed, carries Oisin Murphy (21% strike rate, the highest in the field), and his SR is only 2 points below the favourite — if Hughie Morrison has him ready on debut he could be ahead of his published assessment.
