Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Kalpana is our selection and looks the one to beat in this 13-runner Class 1 contest over a mile and a half at Ascot, with our rating of 128 putting her four pounds clear of her nearest rival. That is a definite edge rather than a huge one, but on good ground and at this trip it is enough to make her the most compelling case on the card. Minnie Hauk (124) is the chief danger and sits closest in the ratings, while See The Fire (118) and Sparan Nua (116) are the other principals who need respecting. Kalpana has the strongest credentials of the lot, and she gets the vote.

Coedana arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out and again three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going, but our figures rank her ninth of 13 and a 133 lb burden off an official 105 makes her hard to fancy.

Second last time out, with a pair of wins three and four starts back, Danielle has the recent form and has run over today's trip and going, though a sixth two starts back and a 37-day break temper things, while 133 lb is a notable burden. Our rating of 114 ranks her fifth of 13.

Kalpana has won three of her last five starts, including a win two starts back and another three starts back, and she was only a fifth last time out, just 13 days ago. She has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 128 makes her the one to beat, though 133 lb is a notable burden.

Ryan Moore
Aidan O'Brien 5/62
Fit after 13 days off, Minnie Hauk has run over today's trip and on this going, and a third two starts back, a second four starts back and a win six starts back make her a leading threat, with our rating of 124 ranking her second of 13. The main risk is an unplaced run last time out, while she carries 133 lb.

See The Fire arrives in cracking nick, a second last time out, a third two starts back, and a winner four and five starts back, while she has run on today's going before. Our 118 puts her third of 13 against an official 113, but 35 days off is the one question.

Lightly raced and unexposed, Tajlina has a win five starts back plus a second, a third and another second in her last five, so she looks open to improvement, though she returns after 132 days off and was fifth last time out, carrying 133 lb.

Won last time out and has two wins in her last six starts, but she's been off for 64 days and carries 127 lb off an official mark of 105. Our figures rank her 12th of 13, though she has run over today's trip and on this going.

Billy Loughnane
David Menuisier 4/19
Inis Mor arrives in good heart after a second last time out, and she's been in the frame in three of her last four, with 22 days since that run; she has run over today's trip and going, but a eighth two starts back and a mid-pack ranking of eighth of 13 on our rating suggest she's short of the top rank.

Joseph Patrick O'Brien 7/51
Two wins in her last five, including a victory two starts back, point to a capable filly, though she was only sixth last time and returns after 58 days off. She has run over today's trip and going, but 127 lb and a mid-pack rating of 113 make her a solid rather than standout contender.

Tom Marquand

Runner-up last time out, and a winner three starts back, Lilt has the recent form to sit in the mix, having run on today's going and returning after 34 days. A sixth two starts back and a 127 lb burden temper the case, while our rating of 110 ranks her only seventh of 13.

Rossa Ryan
J S Bolger 3/8
Sparan Nua has two wins in her last six starts, and finished second two starts back, and has run over today's trip and going before, so she makes a leading threat; the one concern is a ninth last time out and a 41-day break.

C. Soumillon
Aidan O'Brien 5/62
Sugar Island is winless in her last six, with unplaced efforts last time out and two starts back, so she is hard to fancy at 127 lb. She has run over today's trip and going and is fresh enough after 14 days, while a third five starts back is the best of her recent form.

Symbol of Majesty was only sixth last time out after winning two starts back, and she is a hard one to fancy with our figures ranking her 11th of 13 and her 127 lb to carry. On the positive side, she has two wins in her last five starts and has run on today's going before.
