Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Kotari is the standout on our figures, rated 71 and a full 8 lb ahead of Good Onya Mate on 63, a decent margin in a Class 6 contest over the twelve furlongs. That gap matters even more on heavy ground, where a stamina test tends to expose the weaker runners and reward the one with the most in hand. Good Onya Mate and Glitter Code (62) are the likeliest to make him work, with Nelson Gate a further threat on 58, but none of them has the same rating advantage behind them. Kotari is the selection.

Michael Bell 1/21
Good Onya Mate has been consistent without a win, with a third two starts back and a second six runs ago, and he has run over today's trip before. Our rating of 63 ranks him second of 13, but a seventh last time out and a yard in cold form (1/22) are the worries.

Mr Cian Murphy
Jamie Moore & Josh Moore 0/4
Kotari is the one to beat, having finished second two starts back and fresh from a run just 15 days ago, with experience over today's trip and going. He is yet to win in recent form, but our rating of 71 tops the field and sits well clear of his official mark of 60.

William Knight 0/10
Glitter Code won two starts back before a fourth last time out, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 62 ranks him third of 13. The main risk is a weight of 157 lb after 39 days off.

Nelson Gate showed he can go close with a second four and five starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 58 ranks him fourth of 13. The main risk is a 119-day absence after three modest runs since, with 155 lb to carry.

Mr Morgan Tidman (3)
Sir Mark Prescott Bt 3/28
Si White was a winner four starts back and a third three starts back, but he has since slipped to a fifth and then a sixth last time out, and he returns after 55 days off. He has run over today's trip and carries 152 lb off 59, so he looks a midfield sort.

David Flood 0/3
A Daughters Love is winless in her last six, finishing eighth last time out after a sixth and a fifth before that, though she has run over today's trip and going and returns after just 16 days. Carrying 151 lb off an official mark of 58 looks a stiff ask, though our rating ranks her fifth of 13.

James Owen 6/52
Wrist Art was second last time out and returns after 28 days, having run over today's trip and on this going, but a fifth and an eighth in the two runs before that show his inconsistency. Carrying 149 lb off 50, he looks a mid-pack type, with our rating of 54 ranking him seventh of 13.

Mr Eddie Edge
Robert Bevis 0/1
Port of Entry has finished ninth in his last two outings, and he is winless in his last five starts, which makes him hard to fancy. Quick back out after 14 days, he runs off a lowly mark of 50, though 149 lb is a hefty burden and our rating of 46 ranks him 12th of 13.

Molly Valentine is yet to win in her last five starts, with a seventh four starts back the best of a modest recent run, though 28 days' rest is a plus. Our rating of 54 sits above her official 50, but carrying 149 lb and ranked eighth of 13 leaves plenty to prove.

Cougar is hard to fancy, winless in his last six with an unplaced effort last time out and a ninth two starts back, and he carries a hefty 149 lb off an official mark of 50. He has run over today's trip and is fit enough after 20 days, but our rating ranks him 11th of 13.

Power of Prayer is yet to win in her last five starts, though a third three starts back shows she can pick up a cheque, and she has run over today's trip. Back-to-back seventh-placed efforts and 149 lb on an official mark of 50 hold her back after 39 days off.

Caledonian Dream is winless in his last five, finishing ninth last time out, and was only a sixth three starts back, so he is hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and is back quickly after seven days, but 145 lb is a big burden for a horse rated 50 by us and tenth of 13.
