Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Chicago Storm looks the clear choice on our figures, with a rating of 107 that puts him 8 lb clear of U S Marshall (99) in this 13-runner Class 5 over 20 furlongs at Carlisle. That is a sizeable margin in a race where the bulk of the field is packed between 82 and 95, so he can afford to run a little below his best and still be involved. U S Marshall and Shoeshine Boy (98) are the most credible dangers, while Jetovango (95) is the next best of the chasing pack. None of them has the same rating advantage, so Chicago Storm is the selection.

Final Straw won two starts back and three starts back, but he was only sixth last time out and returns after 322 days off, a long absence to overcome under 168 lb. He has run over today's trip, though our rating of 94 ranks him sixth of 13.

Shoeshine Boy won two of his last five starts, taking the last of them four starts back after a win five starts back, and he has run over today's trip, so he is a leading threat on 168 lb. The risk is a 162-day absence after being pulled up last time out.

Tristan Davidson 0/7
Fourth last time out just 15 days ago, and a third three starts back, show Jetovango is in the mix, while he has run over today's trip and is ranked fourth of 13 on our ratings. The risk is that he is still yet to win in his last five, and 163 lb is a hefty burden.

Chicago Storm is our top-rated runner and his best recent effort was a third three starts back, while he has run over today's trip before and is rated 107 by us, well clear of his official 95. A 90-day break and 163 lb are reservations, but the profile still points to him.

La Lolita has been fifth last time out, a fourth two starts back and a fifth three starts back, a slide since her win five starts back, and she returns after 48 days. She has run over today's trip and our rating of 93 ranks her seventh of 13, but 162 lb off an official 94 looks a stiff ask.

Gonnino is consistent without being a threat, finishing fourth last time out and fifth two starts back, though he is yet to win in his last five outings. He has run over today's trip and has had 28 days off, but 158 lb is a big burden off 90, and our rating of 89 has him eighth of 13.

Lady Phoebe is hard to fancy, beaten in an eighth last time out and yet to win in her last five starts, though she did manage a fourth two starts back. She has run over today's trip and returns after 22 days, but 152 lb is a big burden and our figures rank her tenth of thirteen.

Coventry won last time out, but that came after a seventh and a sixth in his previous two runs, so the form is patchy, and he has run over today's trip. Carrying 151 lb off 83 and ranked 11th of 13 on our figures, he looks hard to fancy.
