Amiloc won among his last five starts but the finishes have since faded, with two sixths his most recent efforts. He has already raced over today's going, and the 38-day gap since his last run adds to the question of whether he can rediscover that level.
AI verdict

SR 110 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

French Master is yet to win in his last five starts, though a second and a third show he has been competitive. He has already raced over today's trip and going, but sits down our order at rank seven of eight, so this looks a stiff task on the figures.
AI verdict

SR 85 suggests ability but 40/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Illinois has a win in his last five starts and returns quickly, just nine days after finishing fifth last time out. He has already raced over today's trip and going, though the form has been inconsistent, with a third and a seventh also in that spell.
AI verdict

SR 91 suggests ability but 40/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Lazy Griff has been a model of consistency, with a win and four other finishes no worse than third in his last five starts. He returns 25 days after his latest run, has already raced over today's trip and going, and sits mid-table on our figures for this test.
AI verdict

SR 111 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Rahiebb has a win among his last five starts and additional runs no worse than fourth, though he was last seen finishing eighth. He already has experience of today's going, and the 40-day break since that below-par run adds a question mark.
AI verdict

SR 115 is competitive — each-way claims if conditions suit on the day.

Scandinavia arrives unbeaten in his last five starts, a remarkable run of five straight wins, and has already raced over today's trip and going. The only question is whether a 40-day break disrupts that sequence, but this form puts him right behind the selection on our figures.
AI verdict

SR 108 suggests ability but evn reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Trawlerman has four wins in his last five starts, with only a second breaking that sequence, and he tops our figures for this race. He has already raced over today's trip and going, and the sole note of caution is the 40-day gap since his last run.
AI verdict

Favourable weight of 9-12 gives a real edge in this handicap.

Miss Alpilles has two wins in her last five starts, though both came earlier in that sequence, and she sits bottom of our figures for this field. She has already raced over today's trip and going, though a 40-day break since her latest start adds another obstacle to overcome.
AI verdict

SR 93 suggests ability but 66/1 reflects a stiff ask in this field.

Illinois owns one of the strongest chamber scores in this field. With no SR/RPR/TS data on the winner, the Value Hunter lens leaned on market confidence (0) and pace fit instead. There is still enough pricing upside to keep the pick from looking overexposed. The profile is live enough to win even with more instability in the simulation.
