Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Rajeko No. 1, stall 10
Hector Crouch · Michael Bell
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Trainer in form (3/14, 14 days)
Rajeko looks the one to beat in this Southwell Class 4 over a mile, as our ratings put him 8 lb clear of Jungle Ruler and a good deal further ahead of the rest of the 11 runners. That sort of advantage on the numbers gives him a sizeable cushion if he merely repeats his best on the Standard surface. Jungle Ruler is the main danger, with Diligent Resdev and Island Bear next best and closely bunched behind, though none has the same level of ability on our figures. Rajeko is the selection.

Jungle Ruler has been consistent without a win, finishing second and third in his last six, and he's back after 18 days with experience of today's trip and going. Our rating of 86 ranks him second of 11, though his sixth last time out is the main worry.

Raggaas has slipped to a sixth then a seventh in his last two starts, which makes him hard to fancy after a win three starts back, though he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 78 ranks him tenth of eleven, and 138 lb from stall seven offers little encouragement.

Quick back-up after six days and still without a win, but Diligent Resdev has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 84 ranks him third of 11 from stall two. The risk is a recent run of sixths and ninths, with an unplaced effort last time.

Nursia is hard to fancy, ranked last of 11 on our figures with a 75 rating, and he was eighth and fifth in the two runs before a pleasing second last time out, 23 days ago. In his favour, he has run over today's trip and going, and he won four starts back.

Magic Trip arrives fit after 12 days off, a third last time out and a second two starts back showing he's in the mix, and he has run over today's trip and going. Yet to win in his last six, he's ranked eighth of eleven by our rating and carries 134 lb from draw 3.

Mystic Moment arrives winless in her last five, though a second two starts back and a fifth last time out show some consistency; she has run over today's trip, but 38 days off and 134 lb leave her with plenty to prove from stall nine.

Third last time out and a winner two starts back, Island Bear is in good heart and back quickly after only ten days, having run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 83 sits well clear of his official 76, but the main risk is 133 lb from stall one.

Light Speed is winless in his last five, with a sixth last time out and a fourth two starts back, and his only top-three finish came five starts back, so he is hard to fancy from nines-and-eights form. He has run over this trip and on this going, but the yard is cold at 1/26 and our rating of 78 ranks him ninth of eleven.

Illy's Roo has gone sixth, ninth, ninth in his last three, so recent form is a concern, though he has run over today's trip and going and won six starts back. Our rating of 82 sits above his official 73, and he's fit enough after 23 days off, carrying 130 lb from stall four.
