Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Artanis is our selection, and the case rests on a progressive profile and a fitness edge that make her sit just a pound behind the joint top-rated pair on our figures yet look the more likely to improve. Raatea and Arantes Nascimento are the obvious dangers, each rated 87 against her 86, so there is little to choose on the numbers and the underlying trend tips it her way. Caragio, on 83, also has to be respected in a competitive 15-runner field, and the soft ground should place a premium on fitness. Artanis gets the nod.
Runners
Shay Farmer (5)
Adam Kirby 2/14
Caragio arrives in cracking form, having won last time out and again two starts back, and he has run over today's trip. The one concern is a quick turnaround, back out just one day after that latest success, while carrying 143 lb from stall 13.

Fit after 15 days off, Arantes Nascimento has run over today's trip and going and was second twice and a winner within his last six starts, while our rating of 87 ranks him second of 15. The risk is a slide to fifth last time out, with two sixths before that.

James Doyle

Artanis won four starts back and was third five runs ago, and she returns fresh after 17 days with experience of today's trip. Our rating of 86 backs her profile, though two fifths and a sixth latest tempers things slightly.

Billy Loughnane
Heather Main 0/5
Winner last time out, she has been runner-up in two of the three runs before a seventh two starts back, and has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 136 lb from stall 11, she looks held by a mid-pack ranking of sixth of 15 in our ratings.

Tom Marquand

Venetian Sky is winless in her last six, with a fourth last time out and an eighth two starts back showing little progress, so she is hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and returns after 17 days, but 135 lb from stall nine is a big ask, and our rating of 74 ranks her 11th of 15.

Dylan Hogan
Julie Camacho 1/21
Raatea tops our ratings at 87 against an official 71, and he has run over today's trip and going before, with a third and a second in his last six starts. The main risk is a yard out of sorts at 1/20, plus a 39-day break after an unplaced last run.

Kennington has run over today's trip and on this going, and his win came four starts back, but he's been beaten in his last two, finishing a seventh last time out and a ninth before that. Our rating of 83 sits well above his official 73, though 134 lb from draw 14 leaves little margin.

Euphonia won twice four and five starts back, but she's been beaten since, finishing a sixth, a ninth, then an eighth last time out, and returns after 42 days. She has run over this trip and on this going, and our rating of 79 puts her seventh of 15, though 132 lb from stall 1 is a lot to carry.

Slack Bob has tailed off since winning four starts back, finishing a sixth two starts ago and a fifth last time, and he returns after 64 days off, which makes him hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and runs from draw 2, but our rating of 74 ranks him only twelfth of 15.

Winless in his last five, Freddie's Star was seventh last time out, though he was a fourth two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. A 69-day absence and 127 lb from stall 10 temper things, but our rating of 75 sits well above his official mark of 64.

Yet to win in his last five starts, Spirit of Breeze did bank a second two starts back and a third three starts back, though he was unplaced last time out. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 74 sits him tenth of 15 from stall 3.

Ice Cube was second last time out and quick back after eight days, with a winner three starts back and another five starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Ranked ninth of 15 on our rating and carrying 125 lb from stall five, he looks more solid than special.

Mollstar is winless in her last five and was beaten into ninth last time out, 41 days ago, which makes her hard to fancy, though a second two starts back and a third four starts back show she can get involved. She has run over today's trip and going before.
