Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Whiteley Way is our selection in this wide-open 17-runner Class 6 sprint, and his progressive profile earns him the nod over Forever My Prince, who is only two pounds better on our figures. That slim gap is hardly decisive, so the preference for the horse on an upward curve makes sense, especially with the heavy ground likely to test stamina and sort out those who have plateaued. Forever My Prince is the chief danger as the top-rated runner, while Unico and Up The Anti are also capable of playing a part in a race with little between the leading contenders. This is a competitive heat and confidence is low, but Whiteley Way looks the right one to side with.

Kieran Shoemark
Gary Brown 0/2
Third last time out, and a winner two starts back, Whiteley Way has run over today's trip and on this going before, and her recent form reads soundly. A 38-day break is the only query, though our rating of 65 backs her as a selection from draw 9.

Tony Carroll 1/38
Up The Anti returned to form with a second last time out, and she has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 62 ranks her fourth of 17. The main risk is a yard in poor form at 1/35 lately, and she is yet to win in her last six starts.

Rachel Cook & John Bridger 1/1
Roman Spring has won three of his last six, including last time out and again three and four starts back, and he's fresh from a run 14 days ago, having also run over today's trip and going. Carrying 135 lb from draw 10, and ranked only seventh by our rating of 60, he may be short of the class needed to go close.

Michael Blake 0/1
Ranked top of the 17 by our figures at 67, well clear of his official mark of 54, Forever My Prince has run over today's trip before and gets a 36-day break; the concern is a winless run in his last six, with an unplaced effort last time out.

Kyoto has been fading in recent form, a third five starts back followed by a fourth, two fifths and then an eighth last time, and he returns after 47 days off. He has run over today's trip and our rating of 62 sits above his official 53, but he is yet to win in his last five.

Big Bard is winless in his last six, though consistent enough with a fifth last time out and another fifth two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 61 sits above his official 53, but carrying 133 lb from stall five leaves him a bit to prove.

Fourth last time out, after back-to-back wins two and three starts back, shows Rinky Tinky Tinky is in good heart, and 21 days off suits; she has run over today's trip. Carrying 132 lb from draw 2 and ranked ninth of 17 by our rating, she looks more midfield than match-winner.

Harry Davies
Chris Gordon 2/10
Unico steps up on a third last time out, just 14 days ago, and her figure of 64 ranks her third of 17, so she looks a leading threat; she has run over today's trip and runs off an official 52 from draw 11. The main risk is that she is winless in her last five, with three eighths and a ninth before that latest effort.

Dusk Damsel is winless in her last six, with an eighth last time out and a sixth before that, so she is hard to fancy, though she has run over today's trip and a second three starts back shows she can bring her best. She is back quickly after 12 days, but 131 lb is a lot to carry.

Ken Brulee is hard to fancy after an eighth last time out and an unplaced effort the start before, though he has won once in his last six, a win four starts back. He has run over today's trip, but 131 lb from stall 15 and a 14th-of-17 ranking on our figures leave plenty to prove.

Bonnita has finished eighth, ninth and eighth in her last three runs and is winless in her last five, though she is fit after 14 days off and has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 57 sits above her official 50, but carrying 130 lb from stall 12 leaves her a lot to find.

Mintana was fifth last time out, 16 days ago, and has a second three starts back and a third five starts back in her recent form, though she is winless in her last six and was ninth two runs ago. She has run over today's trip, and our rating of 55 sits 9 lb above her official 46, but ranking 11th of 17 caps the appeal.

Just King High comes here fresh from a second last time out, just nine days ago, and has run over today's trip and going, but he is yet to win in his last six starts and the earlier form reads fourth, eighth, seventh. Carrying 126 lb from draw 17, he looks a mid-pack type on our rating of 55.

Winless in her last six, Blue Point Express was unplaced last time out just ten days ago, though she did finish third three starts back and has run over today's trip. Drawn 1 and carrying 126 lb, she sits 12th of 17 on our rating, so a midfield showing looks likely.
