Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Distillate shares the top rating of 62 with Men of Honour and Based, and it is the progressive profile that separates her from that trio in a tightly knit Southwell Class 6 contest. With three runners level on figures, we prefer the one still heading in the right direction, and that gives her a narrow call over the pair. Men of Honour and Based are the obvious dangers on equal terms, while Megaphone, six pounds behind, could also feature if the pace falls his way. This is a low-confidence selection in a wide-open 13-runner field, but the pick is Distillate.

James Sullivan
Ruth Carr 0/23
Men of Honour tops our ratings at 62 against an official mark of 54, and he's fresh from a run 13 days ago, having run over today's trip and going before from stall 10. The risk is obvious though: he's winless in his last six, finishing eighth last time out, with the yard out of form at 1/26.

Luke Morris
Joseph Parr 2/9
Sonbelievable is hard to fancy, beaten into eighth last time out after a ninth and a seventh, and he returns from 90 days off carrying 133 lb from draw 2. He has run over today's trip and going, but our figures rank him tenth of 13.

Fourth last time out and rested 24 days, Based has run over today's trip and going before, and his rating of 62 ranks him second of 13 on our figures. The risk is a winless record in his last six, with a seventh two starts back, while he carries 132 lb from draw 11.

Roy Bowring 1/2
Auradue is winless in her last four, finishing seventh last time out after a fourth two starts back, and she returns from 82 days off. She has run over today's trip and her official rating of 50 isn't daunting, but 131 lb and a 12th-of-13 ranking on our figures make her hard to fancy.

Keiran Burke 0/1
Vitalline is yet to win in his last six, though a second two starts back and another second four starts back show he can get involved, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Eighth last time out and 130 lb from stall 1 temper the appeal, but 15 days' rest is fine.

Mickey Mongoose was sixth last time out and has been unplaced in his two runs before that, though he did win five starts back and has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 54 sits above his official 48, but 129 lb from stall five asks plenty.

Megaphone is yet to win in his last six starts, though a sixth last time out and a third six starts back show he's not far off, and our rating of 56 ranks him fourth of 13 against an official 48. He has run over today's trip and going, but 59 days off and 129 lb are the main worries.

M. P. Sheehy
Adrian McGuinness 4/30
Distillate is fresh enough after 15 days off and has run over today's trip and on this going, with a third three starts back her best recent finish. Two eighths since temper that, but our figures rank her third of 13, and she's a sound pick from draw 12.

Steph Hollinshead 1/10
Yet to win in her last five, Gloriola showed a decent level with a third and a second two and three starts back before a sixth last time out, and she has run over today's trip and going. A 70-day break and 127 lb from draw 9 temper the appeal, though our rating of 50 sits her ninth of 13.

Conrad Allen 0/3
Winless in her last six, Edergole's Gift has been consistent without troubling the frame, finishing sixth last time out and fourth on two earlier starts, and she's back quickly after nine days. She has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 52 sits above her official 45, though 126 lb from draw 3 is a lot to carry.

My Prerogative is winless in her last four, finishing fifth last time out, an eighth two starts back, a fifth three back and an eighth four back, so she is hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and going, and 24 days since her last run is fine, but our figures rank her last of 13.
