Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Good World is our selection for this 24-furlong test on soft ground, rated 108 and just four pounds behind the joint top-rated pair, but we prefer him for a fitness edge and a more solid book of form than those rivals can offer. Stamina will need to hold up over this extended trip, and he will need his share of luck in a 20-runner field where plenty can go wrong. Shotgun Jack and Vision De Maine, both rated 112, are the obvious dangers, with Mr Dibbs, three pounds behind our pick on 105, also needing to be respected. This is a competitive contest, but Good World is the one to side with.

Grace Faraday arrives in good heart, second last time out and a winner two starts back, with a fresh 20-day gap and experience of today's trip and going. Carrying 168 lb off a mark of 100 is a hefty burden, and an unseated three runs ago shows the form isn't flawless.

Mr Dibbs won four starts back and has run over today's trip and on this going, while our rating of 105 ranks him fourth of 20 and sits above his official 100. The risk is a poor run of late, unplaced last time after a sixth and an eighth, and 168 lb is a big weight after 45 days off.

Boola Times arrives in decent heart after a third last time out, just 15 days ago, and a winner two starts back, though a pulled up five starts back shows his form has had wobbles. Carrying 165 lb off 97, he looks a solid midfield type, with our rating of 97 ranking him eighth of 20.

Shotgun Jack has run over today's trip and going, and our top-ranked runner on a figure of 112 looks well treated off an official 97 carrying 165 lb. The big risk is a 301-day absence after a ninth last time out, with a string of poor finishes behind him.

Diamond Dollar won two and three starts back, but he fell last time out and returns after 279 days off, so fitness is the question. He has run on today's going and carries 164 lb off an official mark of 96, while our rating of 102 ranks him fifth of 20.

Vision De Maine returns after 197 days with three straight pull-ups behind him, but he was third four starts back, has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 112 ranks him second of 20 off an official 96. The big risk is that recent form plus a hefty 164 lb.

Fifth last time out and second two starts back give Clash Gold some respectable recent form, and she has run on today's going before, but she is yet to win in her last five starts and returns after 63 days off. Carrying 158 lb off 90, she looks a mid-pack type, with our rating of 93 offering modest support.

Elbow Lane is hard to fancy: he has finished seventh, ninth, unplaced and seventh in his last four runs, returns after 207 days off, and comes from a yard 0/20 lately. He has run on today's going and a third five starts back is the best of his form, but 156 lb is a big ask.

Laligurash is hard to fancy, winless in his last six and only eighth last time out, with a seventh and another eighth also in that run. A second two starts back is the one bright spot, and he's had 30 days to recover, but 149 lb is a big ask.

Silin Alainn is winless in her last five, finishing seventh last time out, and she has not been closer than eighth in the other runs we can see, so she is hard to fancy. Carrying 147 lb off 79, she does at least return after a fairly fresh 24 days, though our rating ranks her 19th of 20.

Winless in her last five, Lake Okeechobee is hard to fancy, though a third last time out, 30 days ago, is a step in the right direction and she has run on today's going before. Carrying 146 lb off a mark of 78, she still looks up against it.

Rockon Henry returns after 413 days off, having finished unplaced last time out, an eighth two starts back, a ninth three starts back and a sixth four starts back, so he is winless in recent starts. He has run on today's going and our rating ranks him 14th of 20, while 140 lb is a hefty burden off an official mark of 72.
