Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Shallow River is our selection and looks the one to beat in this five-runner Huntingdon contest, with a rating of 124 that puts him nine pounds clear of his nearest rival and well ahead of the rest on our figures. Pigeon House, on 115, is the chief danger and the likeliest to make it a proper race, while Blackwater Lilly (97) and Stopherandgo (83) would need to improve markedly to get involved. Mc'flo is the least likely to figure, so Shallow River can take this over the 16 furlongs.

Pigeon House comes into this fresh from a 15-day turnaround, with back-to-back fourths and a second four starts back showing he's capable of hitting the frame, and he has run over today's trip. Carrying 150 lb is a hefty burden, though, and he remains winless in his last five, with two pulled-up efforts in that spell.

Shallow River is yet to win in his last six, but he's only ten days since a seventh last time out and has run over today's trip, while a third five starts back is his best finish. Our top-rated runner at 124 against an official 119, he carries 150 lb.

Blackwater Lilly bids to bounce back after a sixth last time, having been third three starts back, and she turns out quickly after running four days ago; our rating of 97 ranks her third of five. The risk is that she's winless in her last six and carries 143 lb.

Mc'flo is winless in her last six, with a pulled up four starts back and nothing better than a fourth in that time, so she is hard to fancy. She is fresh from a fourth last time out 13 days ago and has run over today's trip, but 143 lb is a big ask.

Stopherandgo is yet to win in her last five starts, with two pulled-up efforts and an eighth last time out, but she has run over today's trip, is fresh from a run 11 days ago, and our 83 puts her fourth of five on ratings, well clear of her official 70. The main risk is that her form figures offer little to back that up.
