Tip for this race
All today's tips ›In The Age gets the nod at Worcester, heading the ratings on 114 and narrowly ahead of a tightly packed group behind him. Two pounds is not a big edge, but it is enough to make him the one to beat in a competitive 15-runner Class 4 over 20 furlongs on good to soft. The main dangers are Le Soleil Reve, Lasko des Obeaux and Five Bar Gate, who all sit on 112 and could easily close the gap. Still, In The Age looks the most solid of the lot on our figures, so he is our selection.
Runners
Lorcan Williams
Paul Nicholls 3/15
Grand Garcon was fourth last time out and has been placed in two of his last four, including a second four starts back, though he was pulled up two starts back and returns after 226 days off. He has run over today's trip and going, but top weight of 170 lb under a 112 mark is a stiff ask, and our rating of 110 ranks him eighth of 15.

Tristan Durrell
Dan Skelton 17/80
In The Age arrives fresh from a 25-day break with solid recent form, a second three starts back and a winner four starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our top-rated runner, he carries 170 lb, and a fifth last time out is the one blemish.

Richie McLernon

Fourth last time out and a second two starts back, with a win four starts back, show Mossy Fen Coolio is capable, and he has run over today's trip and going. However, 203 days off and 168 lb on an official mark of 110 temper enthusiasm, despite a yard in form.

Five Bar Gate arrives off back-to-back seconds, a second last time out and another two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 112 ranks him fourth of 15. The main risk is a 237-day absence, and he also shoulders 168 lb.

Lasko des Obeaux has been in the frame in three of his last four, including a second four starts back and thirds two and three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 112 backs the case, but 237 days off and 168 lb are the main worries.

Jukebox King filled the runner-up spot last time out and was fourth in each of the three starts before, yet he is winless in his last four and returns after 214 days off. He has run over today's trip and going, but 167 lb is a big burden from an official mark of 109.

Fit after 25 days, Le Soleil Reve has run over today's trip and on the going, and was second four starts back and again three starts back before a sixth last time out. Our rating of 112 ranks him second of 15, though a big weight of 167 lb is the main risk.

David Pipe 0/12
Unexposed gelding who won last time out, having been fifth three starts back, though he returns after a 536-day layoff, so fitness is the question. Carrying 165 lb off an official mark of 107, he looks open to improvement on limited evidence.

Up To Trix has been placed in his last three starts, including a second last time out and another two starts back, yet he is winless in recent form and returns after 230 days off. Carrying 165 lb and ranked 11 of 15 on our figures, he is hard to fancy, though the yard's form and his experience over this trip help.

Windsurfer arrives yet to win in his last five, but a second last time out and two thirds before that show he is consistent, and he has run over today's trip and going. A 257-day absence and 163 lb are the concerns, though our rating of 110 ranks him seventh of 15.

Lexie's Moon filled the runner-up spot last time and two starts back, yet she remains winless in her last four, and a 281-day absence raises fitness doubts. She has run over today's trip and going, but 163 lb is a hefty burden for a mare ranked tenth of 15 by our rating.

David Brace 0/0
Galeforcechopper has struggled lately, beaten in an eighth last time out after being pulled up two starts back, so she is hard to fancy at 148 lb. A win four starts back and a third three starts back show some ability, and she is fit enough after 20 days off, but our figures rank her 13th of 15.
