All today's tips ›Going On No. 1
Brian Hughes · Patrick Neville
✓ Top rated ✓ Won last time out ✓ Trainer in form (4/7, 14 days)
Going On looks the right one to side with at Sedgefield, holding a four-pound edge on our figures over Mysterland, who is the only other runner we can put a rating on. That gap is a modest one, so this is no foregone conclusion, but being top-rated in a five-runner Class 5 over 17 furlongs on good ground is a sound enough platform. Mysterland is the main danger and sits close enough to take advantage if our pick is below par, while Bateleur, Parkside Lily and Samantha's Lady are unrated and carry some unknowns. Going On gets the vote, if only narrowly.
Runners
Brian Hughes
Patrick Neville 4/7
Going On won last time out and returns after 32 days, making him the one to beat; he has run over today's trip and our rating of 102 ranks him top of five. Carrying 163 lb is the one question, though his recent form is hard to fault.

Bateleur won last time out in his only recent start, but he returns after 203 days off and carries 155 lb. He is lightly raced and unexposed, so there could be more to come.

David Bass
Charlie Longsdon 2/12
Mysterland has run over today's trip and going, and a fourth last time out gives him a starting point off 155 lb, with our rating of 98 putting him second of five. The one concern is a 157-day absence, so sharpness is the question.

Harry Skelton
Dan Skelton 19/84
Parkside Lily is unexposed, with no recorded form to go on, so she arrives as a blank canvas with plenty of scope to improve. She carries 148 lb on what looks a debut outing.

Unraced and with no form to go on, Samantha's Lady is an unexposed filly who makes her debut carrying 148 lb. She is open to improvement, though there is nothing yet to judge her on.
