Oddschecker Handicap Stakes

Henriette Ronner returns on a quick turnaround just seven days after her last outing, and her experience over today's trip and going is a genuine asset at this level — our rating of 60 marks her as second-ranked in the field; the risk is that she has been winless in recent starts.

Twice placed in her last four starts, Molly Mac brings solid recent form and has run over today's trip and going before — her rating of 63 gives her the edge here. The main risk is that she remains winless in recent starts, with a sixth last time out raising questions about consistency.

Mereside Spark returns after 40 days carrying 133 lb from stall one, and her experience over today's trip and going is a clear positive. A second five starts back underpins her ability, and our figures suggest she holds more in hand than her official mark of 53 implies.

Auspicious showed a second three starts back and a win four starts back, giving him some claims at the weights, but back-to-back disappointing efforts since and a trainer firing at just 4% recently are real concerns for this 132 lb burden to overcome.

Saeculamation arrives fresh enough on 16 days' rest and has run over today's distance and going before, with a third five starts back hinting at better — our rating of 54 puts him clear of his official mark. The worry is that he's been winless in his last six starts, with recent eighths and sixths making improvement hard to trust.
