Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Marble Hill heads our ratings on 100, eight pounds clear of Ballyadam Star on 92, and that gap is enough to make him the most credible winner of this nine-runner event over 16 furlongs on soft ground. Ballyadam Star is the chief danger, while Todo Bien (77) and Throwmedownsomthin (74) sit well adrift on our figures. The five unrated runners add some unpredictability, but Marble Hill has the clearest standing in the line-up, so he is our selection.

Terence O'Brien 0/3
Ranked second of nine on our figures, Ballyadam Star has run over today's trip and returns from a 181-day break under 164 lb, a big weight to shoulder. He was fifth last time out, and the long absence is the main risk.

Paul Mulligan 0/0
Big Country is unraced on the figures we hold, so he's an unexposed type with plenty of scope for improvement. He carries 164 lb on debut, and with no form to go on, his first run is the one to learn from.

Mark Michael McNiff 0/6
Unraced and making his debut, Evans Wishes is a blank canvas with no form to lean on, so he's very much unexposed and open to improvement. He carries 164 lb, and his first run should reveal plenty.

Unraced and unexposed, Here's Jim makes his debut with no form to assess, so there's plenty of scope for improvement. The gelding carries 164 lb, and his first run should reveal plenty about his profile.

Mr D G Lavery
Gavin Cromwell 5/31
Marble Hill signed off with a second last time out and has run over today's trip, though he returns after 191 days off and is yet to win in recent form. Carrying 164 lb, he still rates the one to beat on our figures, ranked first of nine.

Lightly raced and unexposed, Pillars Presence was only ninth last time out and is yet to win in his recent form, but a 28-day break and 164 lb on his back leave room for improvement on that single run.

Rockonfamouslee is lightly raced and unexposed, with his only recent outing ending in an unseated rider, so there is plenty to learn about him. He returns after 176 days off, carrying 164 lb, and remains yet to win in recent form.

I Madden 0/0
Throwmedownsomthin is yet to win in his last three starts, but he has run over today's trip, comes here fresh after 28 days off and ranks fourth of nine on our rating, so he's no forgotten man. The main risk is 164 lb, a hefty burden for a gelding whose last two outings brought no finish in the places.

Gordon Elliott 6/36
Todo Bien has run over today's trip and was third two starts back, a solid platform, while our rating of 77 puts him third of nine. The one concern is a 175-day absence after a sixth last time out, and he carries a hefty 164 lb.
