Gss Contracts Handicap Stakes

Rajapour has winning form two starts back and has run over today's trip and going, so conditions hold no fears; he's fit on a seven-day turnaround and our rating puts him firmly in contention, though the fall last time is the one note of caution.

Intrusively has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 89 puts him clear at the head of the rankings; he returns after 23 days in good order from stall two carrying 142 lb. Winless in his last six starts, though three consecutive fourths hint at consistency, and a trainer in poor current form is the one note of caution.

Sunriseontheboyne has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 78 gives him a case as a leading threat off 140 lb from stall 7 — though he's winless in his last six starts, and that persistent inability to convert remains the clear concern.

Mwafaq arrives in decent nick — a winner two starts back and scored last time out — and has run over today's trip and going before, but carrying 138 lb from stall 9 for a trainer striking at just 2% recently makes him hard to fancy, ranked eighth on our figures.

Winless in his last four starts, with a sixth last time out and his best recent effort a third three starts back, Midsummer Storm faces a stiff task from the bottom of the ratings; experience over today's trip and going at least counts for something.
