Our read on Trigg: The model makes Trigg the strongest chance in the race: the jockey is riding a lot of winners, it has a solid career strike rate and the jockey has a good record at this track. It edges the field by 53 points on our numbers. The main caveat: there is a question over its recent absence. Even so, horses we rate this way win only about 20 in 100: this is a rating of chance, not a tip (8/13).

Our read on Playful Fox: Playful Fox looks well treated at the weights, and the data notes the jockey is in good form and has a solid record at this track, which gives it an edge over the field. However, recent form is mixed, and even horses rated this way win only about 22 in 100, so this is a rating of chance, not a tip.

Our read on Norman Fletcher: Norman Fletcher looks well treated at the weights, the jockey has a strong record at this track and is riding a lot of winners at the moment. The model rates it 31 points clear of the field on the numbers, with recent form to match. Even horses rated this way win only about 22 in 100, so this is a rating of chance, not a tip.

Our read on Country Mile: Country Mile has a solid career strike rate and brings recent strong form to the race, while the jockey is in good form and knows this track well. The main concern is that stepping up in class presents a fresh test. Even horses rated this way win only about 22 in 100, so this is a rating of chance, not a tip.

Our read on Bertie Wooster: Nothing really stands out in this race. The best our numbers can offer is Bertie Wooster (it looks well treated at the weights and it stands clearly above the field on official ratings), but we rate it only a modest chance. The main caveat: there is a question over its recent absence. Even so, horses we rate this way win only about 8 in 100: this is a rating of chance, not a tip (3/1).

Our read on Duhallow Storm: Nothing really stands out in this race. The best our numbers can offer is Duhallow Storm (the jockey has a good record at this track, the jockey is riding a lot of winners and the yard goes well at this track), but we rate it only a modest chance. Recent form has been poor, so this leans on proven ability rather than current fitness, and there is a question over its recent absence. Even so, horses we rate this way win only about 8 in 100: this is a rating of chance, not a tip (4/1).
