Runner-by-Runner Analysis with Ratings

(1) APARAJEO (IRE) – ⭐ 6/10

Pace/Draw: Well drawn in 7, but drop-out type; might not be suited by pace/draw combo.

Adjusted Rating: 91 | Timefig: 92

Trainer: Clive Cox – capable with unexposed types.

Jockey: Kieran Shoemark – fair booking.

Fitness: Off 314 days, gelded since – prep watch advised.

Note: Impressive debut, but long absence, bad draw and pace profile all red flags.



—

(2) HELLO ZAMAN (IRE) – ⭐ 6/10

Pace/Draw: Widest of all in stall 11, not ideal with a strong pace and wide trip.

Adjusted Rating: 96 | Timefig: 94

Trainer: James Tate – good AW record.

Jockey: Clifford Lee – reliable on synthetics.

Fitness: Fit but flopped in All-Weather Final last start.

Note: Useful, but shape of race and draw stack against him.



—

(3) XANTHE (IRE) – ⭐ 5/10

Pace/Draw: Drawn 3 – fine, but pacey 5f filly up against it in this 6f burn-up.

Adjusted Rating: 91

Trainer: Richard Hannon – hot form.

Jockey: Tom Marquand – big plus.

Fitness: One run back after 11 months – may need one more.

Note: Talented but lacks 6f foundation for this contest.



—

(4) HOODIE HOO (IRE) – ⭐ 7/10

Pace/Draw: Mid draw in 10 – poor given draw bias. Will be handy.

Adjusted Rating: 98

Trainer: Charles Hills – decent with speed types.

Jockey: Jason Watson – strong judge of pace.

Fitness: 39 days off since underwhelming turf debut.

Note: Has raw ability, but needs to bounce back sharply and avoid getting posted wide.



—

(5) MEGAPHONE – ⭐ 5/10

Pace/Draw: Fairly drawn but hasn’t shown much off a strong pace lately.

Adjusted Rating: 95

Trainer: George Boughey – good form.

Jockey: William Buick – excellent Kempton record (24%).

Fitness: Fit but patchy recent form.

Note: Solid early-season wins but form dipped sharply. Needs to settle better.



—

(6) PERSIAN SPIRIT (IRE) – ⭐ 8/10

Pace/Draw: Drawn 4, aggressive front-runner – well suited to both.

Adjusted Rating: 97

Trainer: Richard Hannon – hot.

Jockey: Sean Levey – keeps the ride.

Fitness: Fit and progressive.

Note: Profile says there’s still upside. A strong contender with ideal race shape.



—

(7) LEADENHALL STREET – ⭐ 8/10

Pace/Draw: Drawn 2, races handy – big plus.

Adjusted Rating: 97

Trainer: James Fanshawe – hot form.

Jockey: Daniel Muscutt – good judge of pace.

Fitness: Fit and shaped well latest.

Note: Hasn’t always had ideal setups. Return to 6f in a pace-loaded race from a low draw may be spot on.



—

(8) KINIRO – ⭐ 6/10

Pace/Draw: Low draw, slowly away type – neutralised by race shape.

Adjusted Rating: 96

Trainer: Harry Charlton – string running well.

Jockey: Trevor Whelan – no major positives.

Fitness: Poor latest, though excuses (fast turf).

Note: Polytrack better – place claims if breaking on terms.



—

(9) BACKSPIN (IRE) – ⭐ 7/10

Pace/Draw: Drawn 9 – pacey enough to offset it a little.

Adjusted Rating: 94

Trainer: Richard Hughes – does well here.

Jockey: Finley Marsh – gets on well.

Fitness: Fit and consistent.

Note: Bit more to come and lightly raced – can see him placing but not ideally drawn.



—

(10) BEAUTY NATION (IRE) – ⭐ 6/10

Pace/Draw: Drawn 8, always dropped out – unsuited by this pace scenario.

Adjusted Rating: 93

Trainer: George Boughey

Jockey: Rossa Ryan – strong finisher, but not enough pace to bring her in.

Fitness: Race-fit.

Note: Often runs into traffic. May pass a few late but risky betting proposition.



—

(11) HABARI (IRE) – ⭐ 3/10

Pace/Draw: Stays further, draw not too bad – but tactically outclassed.

Adjusted Rating: 93

Trainer: Daragh Bourke

Jockey: Sam Hitchcott

Fitness: Long absence, new stable, down in trip – not convincing.

Note: Not sure this setup works at all.

🔍 Verdict

Most Likely Winner: PERSIAN SPIRIT – tactically spot-on from a low draw, stays 6f well, thriving stable.

Main Dangers: LEADENHALL STREET (huge positive draw and trip move), BACKSPIN (solid on synthetics, just wide).

Each-Way Value (12 runners): LEADENHALL STREET – trainer/jockey combo in form, and track pattern suits perfectly.
