Poolcourt Engineering Handicap Steeplechase

Sphagnum has run over today's trip and going, arrives here 27 days fresh and shaped with promise when second two starts back; the risk is he's been winless in recent starts and will need to recapture that level after disappointing efforts either side of it.

Rockonliam arrives on the back of back-to-back wins but our figures rank him sixth of seven, and 162 lb is a significant burden to overcome; he has experience of today's going, at least, to draw on.

Jacovec Cavern showed real ability when winning and filling the runner-up spot in his last five starts, and he has run over today's trip and going before; the pull-up last time is the one query, but on a mark of 116 he remains the one to beat.

Rue Taylor won last time out and has experience of both today's trip and conditions, making her a serious threat at the head of the market — the concern is whether 39 days between runs leaves her spot-on for this test carrying 156 lb.

Ranked bottom of our figures, Teenage Kiss faces a stiff ask off 153 lb, and her recent form is patchy — fifth and fourth mixed in with better efforts. She does bring distance and going experience, and was a winner two starts back.
