Weatherbys & Birdie Calendars Handicap Stakes (gbbplus Race)

Rizal won two of his last five starts, scoring back-to-back two and three runs back, but was fourth last time out and our rating of 77 leaves him below the top end of this field; experience over today's trip and going offers some encouragement, though 142 lb is no help.

Percy's Daydream ran a fine second last time out and has experience of today's distance and going, making her an appealing proposition; she carries 140 lb from stall 10, yet her superior rating over these 12 rivals marks her as the one to beat.

Finished second two starts back and has experience of today's trip and going, but that eighth last time out gives pause, and 137 lb from stall 12 makes life no easier for a horse ranked sixth of twelve.

Optician shaped well last time out with a third, and a winner five starts back shows he retains the ability to deliver; he has run over today's trip and going, and at 134 lb the weight is the chief concern.

Domination shaped as a clear danger, winning three starts back and posting back-to-back thirds in his two most recent outings to arrive in solid nick; he has run over today's trip and going, and at 132 lb the weight burden is the chief risk to his claims.
