Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Dartan looks the clear choice in this four-runner staying contest at Huntingdon, with our ratings putting him 9 lb ahead of Samuel Spade and a good deal further clear of the other two. Samuel Spade is the main danger and would need to improve to close that gap, while Back It Up and Broadway Honey are rated 29 lb and 37 lb behind our selection respectively and look to have plenty to find. Dartan has the class and the merit to control this over the trip, and he is our selection.

Samuel Spade has a solid profile, with a second two starts back and a win four starts back, and he has run over today's trip before, while our rating of 128 ranks him second of four. The risk is an unseating last time out, a 73-day break and a stable that is 0/24 lately.

Dartan is without a win in his last five and was pulled up last time, but he was second three starts back and third four back, and he has run over today's trip. Our rating has him top of this small field, and 25 days since his last run should help freshen him up.

James Owen 10/50
Back It Up is consistent without being a winner, with finishes of fifth, fourth, fifth and fourth in his last four starts, and he returns fresh enough after 16 days and has run over today's trip. Our rating of 108 puts him third of four, but he is yet to win and carries 147 lb, which is the main risk.

Broadway Honey arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out and two starts back, with three wins in her last six outings and 26 days since her latest run. She has run over today's trip, but 145 lb is a hefty burden and the main risk.
