Tip for this race
All today's tips ›The Quiet Gent is our selection, and his progressive profile is enough to prefer him to the top-rated Yes I'm Mali, who is just three pounds ahead on our figures at 90 against his 87. A horse still on the upgrade can close that sort of gap. Yes I'm Mali and Physique, a point further back on 89, are the obvious dangers, with Golden Brown also needing to be respected in a competitive 14-runner Class 4. This is a tight contest, but The Quiet Gent's upward trajectory makes him the pick.
Runners
Marco Ghiani
David O'Meara 4/49
Fourth last time out, with a win three starts back and a second four starts back, shows Yes I'm Mali can bring form to the table, and he has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 90 tops the field, though a lone win in his last six and 138 lb are the worry.

Ryan Moore
Ed Dunlop 2/14
Sierra Sands was second last time out, and he won twice in the previous two starts before that stretch of fourths, though a 33-day break and 136 lb are hurdles. He has run over today's trip, and our rating of 84 ranks him fifth of 14.

James Doyle
Brian Toomey 2/4
The Quiet Gent heads into this on the back of a win last time out, with a second two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before. A 41-day break is a small question, but his recent profile makes him our pick from draw six.

Rob Hornby
Mike Murphy 0/5
Fresh from a win last time out just 17 days ago, he has run over today's trip and going, but the prior five runs were a fourth three starts back and little else, so consistency is the question. Carrying 135 lb from draw 12, he sits ninth of 14 on our rating.

Mark Winn
David O'Meara 4/49
Sixtygeesbaby has been consistent, third last time out and a winner four starts back, and he has run over today's trip, but he's been unplaced only once since that win alongside two thirds, and 37 days off plus 135 lb from stall 13 give him plenty to do. Our rating of 84 ranks him sixth of 14.

Billy Loughnane

Shaman Champion is yet to win in his last six, though a third three starts back and a fifth two starts back show he can run respectably, and he has run over today's trip. Unplaced last time out after 29 days off, he carries 135 lb from draw 3.

Grace McEntee
Micky Fenton 0/5
Physique has run over today's trip and on this going, and our rating of 89 ranks him second of 14, which makes him a leading threat off an official mark of 80 and only 17 days since his last run. The risk is form that has tailed off, with a ninth last time out and just one win in his last six starts.

Toby Moore (7)
Kevin Ryan 1/33
Mo of Cairo is yet to win in his last six, though a fourth last time out, and a second two starts back, show he's competitive, and he has run over today's trip. Against that, the yard is cold at 1/33, and 132 lb from stall 14 is a hefty burden.

Golden Brown has run over today's trip and on this going, and he's back after 21 days with a third three starts back and a win six starts back in his recent form. Our rating of 85 sits well above his official 77, but a poor last run is the main worry.

Nicola Currie
Henry Candy 1/7
Space Party has been placed in each of his last four starts, finishing second last time out and third two starts back, but he is yet to win in that spell and has to shoulder 130 lb from stall 2. Our figures rank him 13th of 14, and a 17-day turnaround and previous run over this trip hardly lift him.

Third last time out and a winner two starts back, but he was beaten in all four runs before that, finishing ninth, seventh and seventh in three of them, and his 129 lb is hard to ignore. He has run over today's trip and going, and our figures rank him 11th of 14.

Spring Bloom arrives with solid recent form, a fourth last time out, a third two starts back and back-to-back wins three and four starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Against that, he's had 61 days off, carries 128 lb from draw 9, and our rating of 79 ranks him only tenth of 14.

Harry Davies

Robert Anstruther was unplaced last time out, though a second two starts back and a win three starts back show he can still perform, and he has run over today's trip. Ranked 12 of 14 on our figures, he looks hard to fancy carrying 127 lb from stall 15.

Kimbara was beaten into seventh last time out and is yet to win in his last six starts, though a third two starts back and a second five starts back show he can get involved. He has run over today's trip and is back quickly after 10 days, but ranking last of 14 on our figures makes him hard to fancy.
