Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Al Mootamarid is our selection, and he looks the right call over this 18f trip on good ground. He comes into the race fitter than the top-rated Teorie, who is only two pounds ahead of him on our figures, and his progressive profile and proven record on these conditions make that small gap easy to overturn. Teorie is the main danger, while Lady Dapple Rose and Lord Cauvelliere are both within five pounds of our pick and cannot be ignored in a tight-looking Class 5 at Stratford. Al Mootamarid has the profile to get the better of them, and he is the pick.

Ryan Hatch 1/1
Al Mootamarid arrives fresh from a 22-day break after finishes of fifth, seventh, third, third and fifth, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our pick on overall profile despite being winless in his last five, with 168 lb his one concern.

James Owen 9/54
Teorie tops our ranking, and at 96 he's rated below our 100 figure, so he has the profile of a live threat despite being winless in his last five, with a run of fifth and sixth finishes and experience on today's going. The main risk is a 183-day absence after a seventh last time out.

Crown of India arrives fit after 14 days, a second last time out and a winner five starts back, and has run over today's trip and going. However, he carries 166 lb and has finished a sixth two starts back, while our rating of 93 ranks him fifth of eight.

Seraphic has been consistent without a win, finishing third last time out, then a fourth two starts back, a fourth three starts back and a second four starts back, and he has run on today's going before. Against that, 166 days off is a worry, and 163 lb with our rating of 90 (sixth of eight) suggests a midfield finish.

Callum Pritchard
Ben Pauling 1/9
Quick back-out after unseating four days ago, but Lady Dapple Rose has run on today's going and posted a third five starts back, while our rating of 96 ranks her third of eight; the risk is a jumping record that shows a fall and an unseated rider in her last three runs.

Our 95 puts Lord Cauvelliere fourth of eight and well clear of his official mark of 83, while he has run on today's going and returns after 43 days off; the risk is that he was pulled up last time and is yet to win in his last five starts.

Granny B is winless in her last six, though a third last time out and a quick 12-day turnaround offer some encouragement, and she has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 149 lb off an official mark of 78, she looks outclassed, with our figures ranking her last of eight.

Yanka Blue is winless in her last six, though a third last time out and a fourth two starts back show she's in some heart, and she has run over today's trip and going. Quick back-out after four days and 148 lb make her hard to fancy, with our rating of 77 ranking her seventh of eight.
