Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Agitator heads our ratings at 83 and looks the one to beat in this 13-runner Class 5 over a mile on good ground. He is two pounds better than Artemis Star on our figures, a narrow but meaningful edge in a contest where the pack is tightly bunched behind. Artemis Star is the chief danger, with Give Hand and Absolute Diamond also fitting the picture if the leader fails to reproduce his best. Agitator gets the vote.
Runners
Lewis Edmunds
Harry Charlton 3/17
Give Hand arrives fit after 22 days off, with a third and another third before a fifth last time out, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 78 sits above his official 75, but he is yet to win and carries 135 lb from draw 5.

Kieran Shoemark
Brian Meehan 2/7
Kiah is yet to win in her last five starts, though a third, a second and a fourth across her previous three outings before an unplaced run last time show she is competitive. She has run over today's trip, but 134 lb from draw 10 asks plenty, and she sits sixth of 13 on our rating.

Tom Marquand
William Muir & Chris Grassick 2/13
Artemis Star showed his hand with a second two starts back and a third before that, and he has run over today's trip and on this going, returning fresh after 16 days; our rating of 81 ranks him second of 13. The main risk is a seventh last time out, and he is yet to win in his last four starts.

Benoit de la Sayette
Oliver Cole 1/10
Agitator arrives in good heart, second last time out and third two starts back, just 16 days after that run, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our top-rated runner at 83 against an official 73, he carries 133 lb from stall seven, with just the one win in his last six the only quibble.

Quest For Glory is hard to fancy after a 74-day break, having finished fourth last time out and third two starts back, yet to win in his last three. He has run over today's trip and runs off 72, but our rating ranks him 11th of 13.

Sean Levey
Richard Hannon 4/42
High Calibre is winless in his last five, though a second two starts back shows he can get involved, and he has run over today's trip and going before. A fifth last time out after 33 days off and 131 lb to carry temper enthusiasm, though our rating of 76 ranks him fifth of 13.

Sweet Katarina is winless in her last three, finishing a fifth last time out after an eighth and a ninth, so she is hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and going before, and is back after 18 days, but she is ranked 10 of 13 on our figures.

Desert Symphony is winless in her last four, with a seventh last time out after 39 days off and a second two starts back the only real bright spot. She has run over today's trip, but our rating of 65 ranks her last of 13, so she is hard to fancy.

David Evans 0/13
Absolute Diamond arrives fit after 16 days off, with a second two starts back and a win four starts back, and she has run over today's trip before; our rating of 76 also puts her fourth of 13. The risk is a last-time-out unplaced run, so she needs to bounce back from that.

Nascent Star arrives in solid nick, third last time out just 19 days ago and a second four starts back, and he has run over today's trip. Yet he's winless in his last six, and our rating of 74 only ranks him eighth of 13 from draw nine.

Kaito is winless in his last four, with a sixth last time out, a seventh two starts back and a fourth three starts back, but he's fresh from an 11-day turnaround and has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 72 sits ninth of 13, so he looks a midfield sort off 123 lb from stall two.

J. S. Moore 0/12
Magical Life has slipped to a seventh last time out, after a sixth two starts back and another sixth three starts back, so the form is heading the wrong way. She has run over today's trip and going and is back quickly after five days, but ranking 12th of 13 on our figures makes her hard to fancy.
