Aja Novice Amateur Jockeys' Handicap Stakes (Riders Had Ridden No More Than 3 Winners At Start Of Season)

King of War has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 70 ranks him second among the 12 runners, giving him solid claims as a leading danger; the main risk is that his last six starts show just one win, with a fourth last time out suggesting he must find improvement.

Judicature shaped with promise when a second six starts back, and his experience over today's trip and going works in his favour here; the top-rated runner in the field, he is winless in recent starts but shaped encouragingly enough to make him the one to beat off 157 lb from stall four.

Pedro The Poet is winless in his last six starts, yet he carries conditions that suit — fresh off a 15-day break, he has run over today's trip and he breaks from stall one, with our rating of 66 suggesting he holds more ability than his mark of 61 implies; the persistent lack of a win, however, remains the concern.

Sandret won five starts back but has posted three consecutive finishes outside the top six since, leaving his current form in question; he has run over today's trip and going before, and 26 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh, though 155 lb is a stiff burden to overcome.

Winless in her last five starts and off the track for 130 days, Irish Incentive faces a stiff ask from stall ten carrying 155 lb, and our figures rank her ninth of twelve — though she does have experience over today's trip.
