All today's tips ›Williethebuilder No. 1
Toby McCain-Mitchell · Christian Williams
✓ Top rated ✓ Back from a 197-day break
Williethebuilder looks the one to beat at Sedgefield, with our rating of 135 putting him eight pounds clear of Gambino on 127 and a good deal further ahead of the remainder, which is a meaningful edge over this 17f trip on good ground. Gambino is the chief danger, while Saligo Bay on 123 and Max of Stars on 118 are the others who could make it competitive if our pick fails to run to his level. Confidence is low in a nine-runner Class 3, but Williethebuilder has the strongest credentials on our figures and is the selection.

Williethebuilder won twice in his last five starts, taking a win four starts back and another five starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. A 197-day break and a seventh last time out are the concerns, but he's our top-rated runner and the one to beat off 168 lb.

Gambino heads a strong case after back-to-back wins, a first and another first two and three starts back, then a fourth last time out, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating has him second of nine, but 152 lb is a hefty burden and the main risk.

Sam England 0/22
Saligo Bay has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 123 puts him third of 9, comfortably above his official 117 off 151 lb. The big risk is form, with two pulled-up efforts in his last two starts and a stable struggling at 1/21.

Klitschko comes into this off a fourth last time out, a fortnight ago, and he won two starts back, though an unseated rider three runs ago shows the form isn't flawless. He has run over today's trip and going, but 151 lb is a stiff burden, and our rating of 117 ranks him fifth of nine.

Tristan Davidson 1/8
Rewired is hard to fancy on our figures, ranked seventh of nine, and carrying 148 lb off an official mark of 114 is no small ask. Still, he was third last time out, was a winner two starts back, has run over today's trip and going, and is fit enough after 27 days.

Ann Hamilton 0/2
Fit after 16 days, Double Digits has been second in three of his last five starts and is yet to win in that spell, though he was only fifth last time. He has run over today's trip and going, but 147 lb looks a burden for a mid-ranked runner.

Jamie Hamilton
Ollie Pears 0/5
Max of Stars arrives fresh enough after 17 days, having run second two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before; our 118 rating ranks her fourth of nine. The main risk is a pulled up last time out, with 146 lb to carry.

Bathgate is hard to fancy after finishing seventh last time out, another seventh two starts back and a ninth before that, with his sole win five starts back now looking distant. He has run over today's trip and going and is back quickly after 11 days, but our figures rank him last of nine.

Jessica Bedi 0/3
Winless in his last five, Brosna Town was second last time out only 14 days ago, but the fifths and a seventh before that show why he is hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, yet 142 lb and an eighth-of-nine ranking on our figures make him one for the outsiders.
