7:00 Fontwell
This Class 4 handicap chase at Fontwell over 2m1f165y brings together a compact field of six where the KTB Fit scores identify a clear top four. She Is For Me Boys tops the rankings on 69 with strong course credentials, while Merely A Detail, Martin's Denuo and Person of Interest follow closely on 59, 58 and 56 respectively. The remaining pair sit lower on the numbers and look set to find at least one too good on these terms.
How the race shapes up
The pace shape is described as a lone leader with medium confidence, pointing to one clear front-runner enjoying an uncontested lead that could prove difficult for closers to reel in. A Little Something is the only confirmed front-runner in the field and is likely to take up that role from the outset. The other five runners are all held-up types who will be looking to produce their efforts from off the pace, which sets up a key question of whether anything can close effectively enough against an unpressured leader on this track.

The contenders
She Is For Me Boys KTB Fit 69/100
She Is For Me Boys is a smart performer who has won both starts at Fontwell and arrives in solid form after a win and two placed efforts this season.

The ground remains an unknown as she has had no previous runs on it. Usually held up and producing her effort late, she is the KTB Selection and looks to hold strong claims given her record at the venue.
Merely A Detail KTB Fit 59/100
Merely A Detail is a smart performer who has shown solid form this season with a win and two placed efforts from his last four starts. He steps up in trip for the first time today which asks a fresh question of him while he also makes his debut at Fontwell on ground he has never encountered. Toby Bulgin has a 20% strike rate at the track with an A/E of 2.39 from a small sample of five runs and the booking of Jonathan Burke is viewed as a positive. Usually held up and producing his effort late with high confidence in that assessment, he has the ability to go well if the trip and conditions are suitable.

Person of Interest KTB Fit 56/100

He drops back in trip today having been placed without winning over this distance on his only attempt and steps up in class. Faye Bramley has a 20% strike rate at Fontwell with an A/E of 0.62 from five runs while Harry Cobden has a 22% strike rate here with an A/E of 0.83 from 175 rides. Usually held up and producing his effort late with high confidence in that read, he remains unproven on the current ground but has the ability to feature.
