Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Check The Score is our selection, and on our ratings he looks the one to beat at Huntingdon, with a 111 rating putting him a substantial 12 lb ahead of his nearest rival, Alan Bresil, on 99. That gap is a real one in a Class 5 staying contest over 25f. Alan Bresil is the chief danger, with Captain Connor (93) and Camshaft (92) next best and closely bunched behind him. Confidence is only low given how little else we have to go on, but the rating advantage is enough to make Check The Score the pick.

Jonjo & A.J. O'Neill 8/28
Camshaft has won two of her last five, taking a first three starts back and another four starts back, then a third two runs ago, and she's in the grasp of a yard going well at 8/28. Pulled up last time out and 65 days off are the worry, with 168 lb to carry.

Jack Hogan
Fergal O'Brien 1/20
Check The Score has a win and a second in his last four, taking a winner three starts back and a second two starts back before a fifth last time out, and he has run over today's trip. Our top-rated runner at 111, he returns after 231 days off, the one reservation.

Nathan Andrews (10)
Nick Scholfield 0/16
Alan Bresil bounces back quickly after a third last time out just six days ago, and he has run over today's trip, so he arrives fit and in rhythm. Our rating of 99 sits well above his official 93, but he is yet to win in his last six and carries a big 165 lb.

Joshua Thompson (5)
Mike Sowersby 0/2
Matoury won three and four starts back, but he has finished seventh in each of his last two, and 36 days off the track adds a question. He has run over today's trip, though 161 lb and an official mark of 89 make this a stiff ask, with our rating of 85 placing him sixth of eight.

Jack Quinlan
J. R. Jenkins 0/8
Charlie My Boy shaped with promise when third last time out, and a break of 26 days should keep him fresh, though he's yet to win in his last five starts and had a sixth and an eighth before that. Carrying 159 lb off 87 is a stiff ask, with our rating of 90 putting him fifth of eight.

Quick of The Night arrives fresh from a win last time out, a fourth two starts back and a sixth before that, after 24 days off. But she carries 158 lb off an official mark of 86, and our rating of 81 ranks her seventh of eight, so she is hard to fancy.

Charlie Maggs
Mike Sowersby 0/2
Simiyann is winless in his last four, though a third last time out, just 15 days ago, offers some encouragement; before that came an unplaced run, an eighth and a pulled up. Carrying 153 lb off an official mark of 81, he is hard to fancy, and our rating of 80 ranks him last of eight.

Captain Connor is consistent, with a third two starts back and a second three starts back, and he's back quickly after eight days off with only a fifth last time out. Our rating of 93 ranks him third of eight, though he carries 152 lb as an 82-rated gelding who is yet to win in recent starts.
