Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Watamu No. 1
Jonathan Burke · Emma Lavelle
✓ Top rated ✓ Course & distance winner ✓ Trainer in form (2/8, 14 days)
Watamu is our selection at Stratford, and our figures put her 6 lb clear of Likewhatyousee and 7 lb ahead of Ride Like A Girl, which is a meaningful edge in a six-runner Class 4 over two miles on good ground. Likewhatyousee is the chief danger, with Ride Like A Girl close behind, while Granny Hawkins is the other name to respect at the head of a tightly packed chasing group on 108 or below. Confidence is low given how open the contest looks, but Watamu has the best figure on the page and gets the vote.

Emma Lavelle 2/8
Winner last time out and again four starts back, Watamu has two wins in her last five and has run over today's trip and going before, which makes her the one to beat. A 203-day absence is the only reservation, while our rating of 121 tops the six-runner field.

Charlie Hammond
Stuart Edmunds 3/13
Hello Sweety arrives in fine heart, a winner last time out, a third two starts back and a second three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going. However, 160 lb is a hefty burden, she's had 39 days off, and our rating of 108 ranks her fifth of six.

Tom Cannon
Alan King 2/13
Granny Hawkins won three of her last five starts, a hat-trick from five back through three back, and ran a third two starts ago before a fifth last time out. She has run over today's trip and going, and is fresh after 16 days, but 158 lb is the main risk.

Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill 3/22
Likewhatyousee has been in the frame in three of her last five, including a win four starts back, and she has run over today's trip and on this going before; our rating of 115 makes her a leading threat. The main risk is that she fell last time out, and she carries 156 lb.

Gavin Sheehan
Jamie Snowden 4/18
Won last time out, and a second two starts back and another three starts back underline her consistency, with two wins in her last five starts and only 15 days since her last run. She has run over today's trip and going, but 156 lb is a stiff burden, and that is the main risk.

Theo Gillard
Donald McCain 2/20
Hard to fancy as the bottom-ranked of six on our figures, despite a rock-solid profile: she was second last time out, third two starts back, and a winner three and four starts back. Fresh from just 12 days ago, she has run over today's trip and going, but 153 lb is a stiff burden.
