Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Mojo Ego is our selection at Stratford, and he looks the right one to side with over the top-rated Ballyearl, who is only three pounds ahead on our figures. A fitness edge and a progressive profile are the deciding factors, and that combination can count for plenty in a modest Class 5 over two miles on good ground. Ballyearl is the chief danger given his superior rating, while Lucky Sevens and Ashdown Forest are both within a few pounds of our pick and cannot be dismissed in a tight-looking seven-runner field. Mojo Ego is the selection.

Ballyearl tops our ranking at 106 against an official 100, and he has run over today's trip and going before, so the ground and distance are not new to him. The risk is form that reads poorly, with a pulled up last time out and a 47-day break, plus 168 lb to carry.

Mojo Ego booked a fourth last time out after a win two starts back, and he has two wins in his last six, so he arrives fit after 22 days. He has run over today's trip and going before, though 167 lb is a hefty burden.

Sam England 1/21
Won last time out and has run over today's trip and going, which is the best of his case, but he's ranked sixth of seven on our figures, carries 165 lb, and comes from a yard going 1/20 lately, so he's hard to fancy.

Shaun Lycett 0/2
Won last time out and again four starts back, with a third two starts back, so Mayday Games arrives in good heart, and he has run over today's trip and going. Off 42 days and carrying 163 lb, he looks a midfield sort, with our rating of 99 ranking him fifth of seven.

Ashdown Forest arrives with a third last time out, another third two starts back, and a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. The main risk is a 43-day absence, with 162 lb on his back adding to the task.

Raffles Nobu is winless in his last six, with a fifth last time out and just one second in that spell, and he's back quickly after eight days. He has run over today's trip and going, but 158 lb is a big burden and our figures rank him last of seven.
