Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Great d'Ange gets the vote over Ithaka in this six-runner Stratford staying contest, the pair sharing a rating of 107 but our selection holding the edge through a fitness advantage and a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come on the soft ground over 22 furlongs. Ithaka is the chief danger, as he cannot be separated on figures, while One Last Glance is six pounds behind and Moor End nine adrift, so both need to improve to get involved. Dunworley and Pescatorius look to have plenty to find on these terms. Great d'Ange is the selection.

Ithaka won four starts back and was second five runs ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 107 ranks him top of six. The main risk is a fall and two pulled-up efforts since, plus 216 days off and 168 lb to carry.

Emma-Jane Bishop 0/0
Moor End won last time out and was placed in three of the four runs before that, with one unseated rider, so he arrives in good heart and rates a strong threat on 161 lb. The one concern is a 217-day absence, which leaves fitness the main question.

Alexander Gibbons 0/0
Great d'Ange is our pick on overall profile, having finished second three and four starts back before two sixth-place efforts, and he has run over today's trip. A 41-day break should leave him fresh, though 161 lb is a notable burden.

Robert Dunne
Rob Summers 0/0
Winner last time out, with a second and a third before that, so the form is sound, but he's ranked last of six on our figures and carries 154 lb off an official mark of 90. He has run over today's trip and going, and 24 days since his last run is fine.

Nick Kent 0/3
Dunworley is hard to fancy after being pulled up last time out and returning from a 337-day absence, though he won two starts back, was second three starts back, and has run over today's trip and going. He carries 152 lb, and our figures rank him fifth of six.
