Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Koukeo is our selection at Fontwell, and he rates just a pound behind Miralago on our figures, so the preference comes down to profile. He is the more progressive type, with a more solid book of form than the top-rated runner, and that consistency is worth more than a one-pound deficit over this 20f trip. Miralago is the chief danger as the narrowly higher-rated runner, while Roi du Risk, seven pounds adrift of our pick, and Diplomatic Ash, ten behind, need to improve to figure. Koukeo gets the nod.

Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill 3/17
Koukeo is our pick on overall profile: he won five starts back and was third four starts back, and a 181-day break should have him fresh after a pulled-up last time out. Carrying 168 lb is a stiff task, though our figures of 127 sit well clear of his official 119.

Georgina Nicholls 0/4
Miralago brings a solid profile, having finished a fifth last time out, with a third three starts back and another third four starts back, plus a second five starts back, and he has run over today's trip. Our 128 ranks him top of seven, but 196 days off and 167 lb are the big risks.

Henrietta C Knight 1/8
Roi du Risk has a solid book of recent form, with a win three starts back, a third two starts back and a second four starts back, and he is rated 120 by us, third of seven. The main risk is a 222-day absence after a ninth last time out, with 163 lb to carry.

Conor O'Farrell
Neil Mulholland 2/18
Fourth last time out, but that follows a winner two starts back and another three starts back, so the form is respectable; a 174-day layoff, 163 lb on his back and a sixth-of-seven ranking on our figures make him hard to fancy, though he has run over today's trip.

Caoilin Quinn
Gary & Josh Moore 0/24
Diplomatic Ash arrives a last-time-out winner, with a second two starts back and a run over today's trip to his name, so he looks a strong threat on a 117 rating. The main risk is a 142-day absence, with a stable out of form adding to the worry.

Brendan Powell
Joe Tizzard 3/16
Unseated last time out after a third and two fifths before that, he returns from 142 days off, so fitness is a question; he has run over today's trip and carries 153 lb off 104, though our rating of 117 puts him fifth of seven.

James Best
Alexandra Dunn 0/2
Holy Legend has won three of his last five and was fourth last time out, only 11 days ago, so fitness is no concern, though he carries 151 lb and has run over today's trip. Our figures still rank him last of seven, which makes him hard to fancy.
