Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Hello Judge No. 1
Danny McMenamin · Ann Hamilton
✓ Course & distance winner ✓ Back from a 194-day break
Hello Judge looks the right one to side with in this four-runner Carlisle staying contest, preferred to the top-rated Old Gregorian on his progressive profile and only three pounds behind him on our figures. Old Gregorian is the main danger given he heads the ratings, while Glory And Honour sits a further five pounds back and Dearkeithandkaty looks the least likely of the quartet to trouble us. With such a small field and little between the first two, this is a modest-confidence call, but Hello Judge's upward trajectory gives him the edge. Hello Judge is our selection.

Danny McMenamin
Ann Hamilton 0/2
Hello Judge is our pick on profile: he signed off with a fourth last time out and has a win three starts back, while he has run over today's trip and carries 168 lb off an official mark of 120. The reservation is a 194-day absence, so sharpness is the question.

Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore 6/24
Old Gregorian won four starts back and has run over today's trip, while our rating of 123 ranks him top of this four-runner field, though 150 days off after a fifth, a sixth and a fourth since that win is the main concern at 165 lb.

Sam England 2/24
Glory And Honour arrives fit after 20 days off, with a third and a second in the last three starts before a sixth last time out, and he has run over today's trip. Our rating of 115 puts him a clear threat, but he is only third-best on our figures.

Jonjo O'Neill Jr.
Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill 3/22
Dearkeithandkaty ran three consecutive seconds after a win five starts back, and he has run over today's trip, so he's a leading threat on that profile at 154 lb. The risk is a pulled-up effort last time out and 153 days off the track.
