Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Fram Castle looks the one to side with in this Southwell staying contest, as his progressive profile gives him the edge over a field that is tightly packed on ratings. He is rated 65, so he is a few pounds below Time Turner on 71, but a horse still improving can close that gap at this level. Time Turner is the main danger as the top-rated runner, with Rubellite on 68 and Vinny's Dream on 67 also close enough to take a hand if the pace sets up for them. Fram Castle is our selection.

Rubellite booked a third last time out, 14 days ago, and has won twice in her last six starts, including a win three starts back. She has run over today's trip and going, and our rating ranks her second of twelve, but 140 lb is the main risk.

Time Turner has been in the frame regularly, with a second and a third among his last six, and he's fit after 14 days, has run over today's trip and going, and tops our ranking at 71 against an official 64. The one concern is a yard struggling at 1/24 lately, plus 140 lb.

Queen Roslyn is winless in her last five, though she was second last time out and a second three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 138 lb after 41 days off, she looks hard to fancy, with our figures ranking her tenth of twelve.

Ian Williams 0/23
Rated 67 by us and third of 12, Vinny's Dream gets a case as a leading danger, as he has run over today's going before and returns fresh after 23 days off an official mark of 60. The main risk is form of sixth, seventh and eighth finishes, while the yard is 0/24 lately.

O'Driscoll bounced back with a fourth last time out after a seventh and an eighth, yet he is still winless in his last three and has run only 17 days ago. Carrying 135 lb off 65, he has run on today's going, but our figures rank him 12th of 12.

Philip Kirby 1/12
Dollar's Dream has been consistent, with a second last time out and another second five starts back, yet he is winless in his last five and returns after 168 days off. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 65 sits above his official 57, but a 133 lb burden and the layoff temper the enthusiasm.

Jason Hart
William Muir & Chris Grassick 2/12
Blue Tulip arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out, a second two starts back and a winner four starts back, and has run over today's trip and going. However, 133 lb is a big burden and our figures rank her only ninth of twelve, so she is hard to fancy.

Callum Shepherd
Simon Crisford 1/2
Five Moons showed signs of life with a third last time out just ten days ago, and she has run over today's trip and going before, but she's yet to win in her last six starts. Carrying 132 lb off an official 62, she looks a competitive midfield type rather than a standout.

Beggarman is winless in his last five, though a second three starts back and a fourth two starts back show he stays competitive, and he has run over today's trip and going. Unplaced last time and carrying 132 lb off 56 temper enthusiasm, though our rating of 66 ranks him fifth of twelve.

Oliver Stammers

Sycamore Gap has run over today's trip and on the going, and he won four starts back, but he's slipped to an eighth then a ninth since and returns after 176 days off. Carrying 132 lb off 56, he looks a midfield sort, with our rating of 65 ranking him eighth of twelve.

John Egan
Michael Wigham 0/5
Fram Castle is our pick on profile: he was second last time out just ten days ago, and he has a winner three starts back, plus experience over today's trip and going. His ranking of sixth of twelve on our figures is the one reservation.
