Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Known Warrior looks the one to be on in this five-runner Fontwell contest, topping our ratings on 109 and narrowly ahead of Chatty Girl on 107, so the edge is slight but real. Chatty Girl is the chief danger and sits just two pounds behind, while Sea Warrior on 101 and Belle Montrose on 99 are further back but could still make the frame if the principals falter. Everyonesacritic looks outclassed on 86, which leaves this a tight-looking tussle at the top, but Known Warrior gets the nod on the figures over 18 furlongs on good ground.

Chatty Girl arrives in solid shape on paper, a second last time out and in the frame in three of her last five, while our rating of 107 ranks her second of five and she has run on today's going before. The one concern is a 190-day absence, with 165 lb to carry as well.

Known Warrior was runner-up twice in his last five outings, a second two starts back and another three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our top-rated runner at 109, he is yet to win in that spell, and 168 days off is the one concern.

Sea Warrior is a leading danger on our figures, ranked third of five, with a mark of 97 and prior experience on today's going to lean on. The main risk is a poor recent book, a ninth last time out and winless in his last five, plus 212 days off.

Mrs C. Williams 0/23
Fifth last time out, with a win two starts back and a third three and four starts back, Everyonesacritic has decent recent form, but he's had a 237-day break, carries 156 lb off 90 and comes from a yard that is 0/23 in the last 14 days. He has run on today's going, though our figures rank him last of five.
