Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Persian Art is our selection here, and he heads our ratings on 114, a clear eight pounds better than Mossy Moon on 106, which is a sizeable edge in a Class 5 contest run over 16 furlongs on good ground. Mossy Moon is the chief danger, with Seedling (101) and Indiza (100) the next best on our figures and well capable of making this competitive. Kauto Line is unrated and adds some uncertainty, but Persian Art's superior rating makes him the one to be with, even if confidence is only low. Persian Art is the pick.

Alex Hales 2/7
All Good To Go is hard to fancy after 283 days off, with just a fourth last time out to lean on and no win in his recent form. He has run over today's trip and our rating of 89 ranks him seventh of nine, while 156 lb is a hefty burden to carry.

Tommy Tipa was fifth last time out and returns after 175 days off, which leaves fitness a question, though he has run on today's going before and carries 156 lb. Our rating of 97 ranks him sixth of nine, so he looks a midfield sort.

Charlie Hammond
Stuart Edmunds 3/10
Indiza arrives fresh from a third last time out just 15 days ago, and he has run over today's trip, so a bold show is plausible from 155 lb. The risk is that he is yet to win, with an eighth two starts back showing his form isn't consistent.

Harry Derham 0/10
Kauto Line is lightly raced and yet to win, but a third last time out is his best finish in a patchy recent run that includes a pulled up, a seventh and a fall. He returns after 177 days off, carrying 155 lb, with scope for improvement.

Mossy Moon was a fourth last time out and has run over today's trip and going before, though he's yet to win in recent form. He's a leading danger on our rating of 106, second of nine, but 159 days off and 155 lb are the main risk.

Henrietta C Knight 1/9
Persian Art was a second last time out, only 23 days ago, so he arrives fresh and in rhythm, and he has run over today's trip before. Our top-rated runner at 114 and carrying 155 lb, he is yet to win in recent form, but he is the one to beat.

Seedling won last time out and has run over today's trip and going before, a positive profile for a filly rated 101 by us, third of nine. The one concern is a 207-day absence, and she carries 155 lb.

Arm's of An Angel finished fifth last time out, but she was carried out and pulled up twice in the three runs before that, and she returns after 189 days off. She has run over today's trip and going and carries just 149 lb, yet a winless recent spell keeps her to a midfield role, with our rating of 98 putting her fifth of nine.

Aunt Gallie is hard to fancy after a long layoff, last seen 210 days ago when finishing eighth, and she is yet to win in her recent form. She has run over today's trip and going before, and 149 lb is a light burden, but our rating of 88 ranks her eighth of nine.
