18/1 8/1 14/1
Glenroyal won five starts back and has run over today's trip, while 30 days off the track leaves him fresh at 140 lb off an official mark of 88. Our rating of 82 puts him fourth of eleven, but the main risk is four straight runs without a win since that success, including an eighth three starts back.
AI verdict

SR 56 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 18/1.

Quick back-up after eight days and a winner three starts back, Mister Adam has also run over today's trip and carries 136 lb off an official mark of 84, with our rating putting him top of the 11; the risk is two modest efforts since, an eighth last time and a sixth before.
AI verdict

SR 52 suggests ability but 25/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Unauthorized is our pick on overall profile: he's fit after just nine days off and has run on today's going, while a second five starts back shows his ability. Three straight unplaced runs are the reservation, and our rating of 84 keeps him firmly in the picture.
AI verdict

SR 56 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 22/1.

Ben Hur won last time out and was third two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, though 33 days off and 129 lb temper the enthusiasm. Our rating of 82 ranks him fifth of 11, so he looks a midfield sort.
AI verdict

SR 83 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Ballybawn Belter arrives fresh from a win last time out, 22 days ago, and has a second three starts back too, so she's in good heart and has run over today's trip before. Our rating of 82 ranks her third of 11, but a sixth two starts back shows she can have an off day.

SR 76 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Royal Saxo has finished sixth last time out, a seventh two starts back and a fifth three starts back, so he is yet to win in his last five and hasn't convincingly found his feet; he has run over today's trip and returns after 36 days, while our rating of 76 matches his official mark and sits seventh of 11 at 128 lb.
AI verdict

SR 61 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 14/1.

Ryefield Dasher arrives in cracking nick, a winner last time out and again two starts back, fresh from a 15-day break and having run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 76 ranks him only eighth of 11, though, and 126 lb off an official 80 leaves little margin.

Slurricane has run over today's trip and going, but he's tailed off since winning five starts back, with an eighth last time out and a sixth two starts back. Our rating of 80 sits above his official 74, yet a quiet yard (1/23 lately) and 33 days off temper the case.
AI verdict

SR 69 suggests ability but 9/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Granville Street is yet to win in his last six starts, though a second last time out and a third two starts back show he is in decent heart, and he returns just 12 days later having run over today's trip and going. Ranked ninth of eleven on our figures, he's hard to fancy off 125 lb.

Winless in her last six, Speckled Meadow was unplaced last time out, though a second two starts back is the one bright spot, and she has run over today's trip and going. Back in just nine days, carrying 123 lb, she looks hard to fancy, with our rating of 70 putting her tenth of eleven.
AI verdict

SR 45 is modest for this company — needs everything to go right at 33/1.

Shay's Dream backed up with a third last time out, and a winner two starts back, but he's quick to reappear after eight days and, with our figures ranking him last of 11, he looks outclassed off an official 70 at 119 lb, though he has run over today's trip.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 8-7 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Shay's Dream
Confidence: Speculative

Shay's Dream (SR:78, 11/4) is the market's clear choice and the data backs it up: a 21% market move inward is the sharpest steaming signal in the field and points to informed money. JPO'Brien (16% strike rate, 3268 runners) runs two horses here and Chris Hayes takes the ride over the lower-profile J M Sheridan on stablemate Glenroyal — unambiguous yard signal that this is the #1 bullet. DistFit:+ confirms proven ability at today's 1m3f+ trip, and a recent form line of 890213 with the last three figures showing a progressive 2-1-3 sequence at a rising level is exactly the kind of upward curve that wins races off a mark. The MarkMv:+9 is a concern, but at 8-7 Shay's Dream is the lightest competitive weight in the field, and the heavy ground is untested (GoingFit:?) — a risk priced in at 11/4. Each-way alternative: Slurricane. Main danger: Ben Hur — Ben Hur (SR:83, 3/1) carries the highest SR in the field, has a tidy recent form sequence of 7/7-31 showing two consecutive placed/winning efforts, and Noel Meade's 11% strike rate with a top-class conditional jockey booking gives it serious claims — the only reason to prefer Shay's Dream is the steaming market and the lighter weight advantage.
