MEDIUM RISK

CAREER4:1-0

Jockey:Linda Meech

Trainer:John Mcardle

Regal Ascend has shown early promise with a 25% win rate from limited starts. The booking of Linda Meech is a significant positive, and from barrier 6, it should get a fair run. This horse has the potential to improve further.

MEDIUM RISK

CAREER11:1-1

Jockey:John Allen

Trainer:Niki O'shea

With John Allen in the saddle and the coveted barrier 1, Short Reply could be an each-way chance if it can find its best form. While its career stats are modest, the strong jockey/barrier combination cannot be ignored in a race of this calibre.

CAREER8:1-1

Jockey:Ryan Houston

Trainer:Greg Eurell

While You Never Can Tell has a decent place percentage, its wide barrier and modest win rate are concerns. It will need a strong ride from Ryan Houston and a significant improvement to feature prominently in this field.

CAREER19:2-0

Jockey:Caitlin Hollowood

Trainer:Kelvin Bourke

Take Me To Church has a low win and place strike rate from many starts, suggesting it struggles to break through. While barrier 4 is favourable, it needs to show a career-best performance to be competitive against some of the more promising runners.

CAREER7:1-0

Jockey:Theodore Ladd

Trainer:Charlotte Littlefield

Hotinherre has a wide barrier and a low win/place record, making it a difficult prospect in this race. It would need a lot of things to go its way and a substantial improvement in form to challenge the better-credentialed runners.

Squander has a wide barrier and a modest career record despite many starts, suggesting it's likely to find this class tough. While it has won three races, its overall place percentage is not inspiring for a competitive run here.

With 44 career starts and a very low win/place percentage, Lucky Compass appears to be a longshot. While Dean Yendall is a capable jockey, the horse's overall form suggests it will struggle to be competitive in this field.
