Ardilaun Hotel Handicap

Apache Outlaw arrives here on a quick 14-day turnaround, has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 80 — second-best of the 18 runners — marks him out as a genuine danger; third three starts back shows he can get into the mix, though he has been winless in his last six and that barren run remains the concern.

Ranked bottom of the field on our figures and his recent form offers little encouragement — winless in his last four starts, with a fifth last time out — though he has experience of today's going and returns on a sharp 19-day turnaround.

San Aer was second last time out and has run over today's trip and going, with our rating of 87 marking him clear of this field of 18. Winless in recent starts, but that runner-up effort four days ago shows he arrives in form and is the one to beat.

Scrambles to find form on the back of three unplaced efforts, and his ranking of 12th in the field underlines the challenge, though a winner four starts back and a third five starts back show ability is there — he has run over today's distance and going, and 18 days feels a fair enough gap.

Beaten into ninth last time out, and a winner five starts back, Storm Averted faces a stiff task from stall 10 carrying 140 lb; her experience over today's trip and going offers some grounding, but recent form gives little encouragement.
