Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Premier Division heads our ratings on 127, a clear 8 lb better than Passenger on 119, and that gap is the foundation of the case on the good-to-soft ground over 17 furlongs at Down Royal. Passenger is the chief danger, with Nine Toes Tim on 111 and Ifuknowuknow on 108 next best, while three unrated runners add some uncertainty in an 11-strong field. Premier Division still looks the one to beat on merit, so he is our selection.

Ifuknowuknow arrives a winner last time out, after a seventh and a sixth in the two runs before, and he has run over today's trip and going before. The main risk is a 42-day break under 168 lb, though our rating of 108 ranks him fourth of 11.

Mr Finian Maguire
D K Weld 0/14
Passenger arrives in cracking form, third last time out, a second two starts back, a third three starts back and a winner four starts back, and he's fresh enough after 19 days off. He has run over today's trip, so the main risk is the 168 lb burden, with our rating of 119 ranking him second of 11.

Mr J Dunne (7)
Edward F Power 0/2
Rokanako has been in the frame often, finishing second last time out and a second four starts back, though he's won just once in his last six and that came six starts back. He has run over today's trip and is fit after 19 days, but 168 lb is a hefty burden, and our rating of 105 puts him fifth of eleven.

Hard to fancy: Hoof And Hustle is winless in his last three, unplaced last time out and an eighth two starts back, and he returns after 88 days off. He has run over today's trip and our rating of 81 puts him eighth of eleven, so 161 lb looks a lot to carry.

S. R. B. Crawford 0/1
Nine Toes Tim signed off with a second last time out and has run over today's trip, while carrying 161 lb is a stiff task; our ratings have him third of 11. The main risk is a 306-day absence, which leaves fitness a real question.

Mr H C Swan
Gordon Elliott 5/31
Premier Division arrives in solid form, second last time out after a third two starts back and another third three starts back, though he is yet to win in that spell. He has run over today's trip and on this going, and our rating of 127 makes him the one to beat despite a 182-day break and 161 lb.

Yvonne Latta 0/1
Lightly raced and unexposed, Getaway Harry was eighth last time out, though a third two starts back suggests there could be more to come, and he returns after 158 days off carrying 160 lb. Yet to win in his last two starts, he remains open to improvement.

Ross O'Sullivan 0/18
Hilly Filly won three starts back and was second two runs ago, but she was only seventh last time out, and she's back after 16 days. She has run over today's trip and carries 160 lb, while her yard's 0/21 in the last 14 days is a concern, and our rating of 97 ranks her sixth of eleven.

S Curling 1/5
Sumoscalier is unraced on the book, so this debut is a pure unknown, and he's wholly unexposed with plenty of scope for improvement. He shoulders 160 lb, so there's no form to lean on, only what he shows first time out.

Gaelic Seer is winless in her last two, a fifth last time out and a third two starts back, and she carries 153 lb, which makes her hard to fancy. She is fit enough after 20 days off and has run over today's trip, while our figures rank her seventh of eleven.

Derek O'Connor 0/1
Silver Song is an unraced filly with no form to assess, so she is open to plenty of improvement. She carries 153 lb on debut, and her first run should reveal more than any profile can.
