Sweeney Oil Handicap Hurdle (Div I)
Verdict Not So Serious is the selection, sitting on top of this field of 19 with a rating of 103 — nine pounds clear of his nearest rivals on our figures. That comes with a genuine caveat: his last five starts have brought three pulled-up efforts and two unplaced runs, which keeps confidence in the pick low despite the scale of his rating edge. Bearami Creek and Madame Masque, tied on 94, both arrive in sharper recent form and stand out as the chief dangers, with Tannery Park, close behind on 92, also a threat worth noting. Not So Serious remains the pick on the strength of the figures, with Bearami Creek and Madame Masque best placed to trouble him.

Won four starts back but has found only unplaced form in three runs since, and a 205-day absence adds to the concern. That was still enough for a big form step, and she rates third of 19 on our figures.
