Get Raceday Ready Handicap Stakes

Ranked near the foot of our figures and up against it on an official mark of 61, Lessay does at least bring recent winning form and distance-and-going experience to the table, but a patchy overall record in recent starts and stall 11 make him hard to fancy at face value.

Consistent and lightly race-fit after just eight days, Al Muqdad boasts experience over today's trip and going, and his three minor placings — third last time out, and a second three starts back — underpin a rating of 75; the main concern is he remains yet to win in recent starts.

Gunfighter arrives on the back of a win last time out and has experience of both today's trip and going, giving him every reason to go well here; the concern is that his record in recent starts shows that win surrounded by some patchy efforts.

Kit Gabriel shaped well when second three starts back and third four starts back, and he returns in good order on 24 days' rest with experience of today's trip and going; the main concern is that he has been winless in recent starts and must shoulder 140 lb from stall 8.

Winless in her last three starts and 92 days off the track are the obvious concerns, but she has run over today's trip and going before and that placed effort three starts back at least shows ability; 135 lb from stall one is the neutral backdrop.
