Tip for this race
All today's tips ›That's Nice is our selection at Huntingdon, with a fitness edge and a progressive profile that make him the one to side with over the extended 25 furlongs on good ground. He is only two pounds behind the top-rated Porter In The Park on our figures, so that gap can be bridged by a horse arriving in better shape and still improving. Porter In The Park is the chief danger, and Queens Venture is a pound further back, while Back In The Bay is the other to consider, though he looks to have a good deal to find on ratings at 106. Preference is for That's Nice.

That's Nice bounced back from a third four starts back and a fourth three starts back to win two starts ago, and she has run over today's trip and on this going before. A modest eighth last time out is the one reservation, but 33 days off and a rating of 117 back her case under 168 lb.

Porter In The Park has run over today's trip and going, and a second five starts back and a third three starts back show she can hit the frame. Our top-rated runner at 119, she's yet to win in her last five, and 53 days off plus a pulled-up two runs ago are the worry.

Queens Venture arrives with a pair of seconds in her last five outings, a fifth last time out, and she has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 116 puts her third of six. The main risk is a 54-day absence, and she must also shoulder 164 lb.

Back In The Bay arrives off a fourth last time out, with a second three starts back showing her ability, and she has run on today's going before. Carrying 156 lb is the main risk, as she is yet to win in her last five and her form has been patchy since.

Bella Civena won last time out and was third in the two runs before that, but that came 412 days ago, and a layoff that long is a big ask on return. She has run on today's going and carries 156 lb, while our rating of 106 ranks her fifth of six.

Betty's Tiara showed signs of life with a second last time out, and she has a win three starts back, but a fifth and a run of 7th-9th finishes before that make her hard to fancy. Carrying 155 lb, she has run over today's trip and going, and our figures rank her last of six.
