Jenningsbet In Deal Classified Stakes

Winless in his last six starts, with three unplaced efforts among them, Aspire To Glory is hard to fancy on recent evidence; he returns quickly just three days after his latest fifth, though he has run over today's trip and going before and draws stall one.

Celebrating Ethel won six starts back and has run over today's trip and going, giving her a live each-way squeak from stall three; the concern is that she has been unplaced in her last five starts since that victory.

First Encounter shaped with promise when winning in recent starts and has experience of today's trip and conditions, with our rating marking him down as the one to beat from stall 4; the risk is that he has gone unplaced twice since that victory.

Winless in his last six starts, Rainbow Sign at least showed a glimpse of ability with a second two starts back, though a seventh last time out is harder to ignore; he has experience over today's trip and going, but a mark of 47 and mid-field ranking leave him with plenty to prove from stall 8.

River Wharfe has run over today's trip and going before and, rated 52, shapes as a leading danger from stall seven, fit on just 16 days' recovery — yet winless in his last six starts, that persistent inability to convert remains the chief concern.
