Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Filibustering looks the one to beat in this four-runner Wetherby contest, rated 128 on our figures and a clear 6 lb ahead of Race To Base on 122. That is a meaningful edge over a smaller field at 16f on good ground, and it should tell if he runs to his level. Race To Base is the main danger, with Klitschko on 120 and Banderas on 115 needing to improve to make it competitive. Filibustering is the selection.

Filibustering won three of his last five, including a hat-trick three, four and five starts back, then a third two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Last time's eighth is the one blot, but 22 days' rest and top ranking in our ratings make him the one to beat.

Race To Base signed off with a second last time out and has run over today's trip and going, while a third and a win also sit in his last five starts. The main risk is a 189-day absence, with 161 lb to carry adding to the task.

Lucinda Hughes 0/3
Klitschko booked a second last time out and has a win three starts back, while a fourth two starts back keeps him in the mix. He's fit after 13 days off and has run over today's trip and going, though 156 lb is a hefty burden to carry.

Jonathan England
Sam England 3/22
Banderas won three starts back and has run over today's trip and on this going, while 15 days since his last run keeps him fresh enough. The risk is clear, though: he has finished sixth and seventh in his last two outings, and 153 lb is a hefty burden.
