Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Goodwin Face is our selection at Plumpton, sharing the top rating of 116 with Cayman Dancer but preferred for a more progressive profile and a more solid book of form. Cayman Dancer is the chief danger on level terms, while Soul Limbo (112) and Thankyouandplease (111) sit only a few pounds behind and can make it a tight finish over the 16 furlongs on good ground. Birthday Angel looks a stage short of that group, and Uncle Remus and One Island have plenty to find, so this looks a four-way contest at most. Goodwin Face gets the nod on consistency, though this is a competitive heat and we are only lightly in favour.

Tom Cannon
Chris Gordon 2/11
Goodwin Face is our pick on profile: he was second last time out, and he won three and four starts back, with experience of both today's trip and going. A ninth two starts back and 41 days off are minor reservations, though 170 lb is a notable burden.

Cayman Dancer arrives fit after 14 days, with a fourth last time out and runner-up finishes five and three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our top-rated runner, he is yet to win in his last five, and carrying 168 lb is the main risk.

Bryan Carver
Harry Fry 2/6
Soul Limbo bounced back from a seventh to win two starts back, then finished third last time out, and he has run over today's trip and on the going before. Carrying 166 lb after 37 days off is the main risk, though our rating of 112 keeps him a leading threat.

James Best
Syd Hosie 0/5
Thankyouandplease makes plenty of appeal, a runner-up two starts back and a winner five starts back, and he's fresh from a run just 10 days ago, with experience of today's trip and going. The main risk is a unplaced effort last time and a hefty 166 lb on his back.

Lydia Richards 0/1
Birthday Angel won last time out and has three wins in his last five starts, with a fifth two starts back the only blemish bar a pulled up five runs ago. He has run over today's trip and going, but 164 lb is a big burden and our rating ranks him only fifth of seven.

Sam Twiston-Davies
Paul Nicholls 3/20
One Island has been in the frame twice in his last four, a second two starts back and a third three starts back, but he's yet to win in that spell and was only fifth last time. A 173-day absence and 157 lb are hard to overlook, though he has run over today's trip and going, and our figures rank him last of seven.

Henrietta C Knight 3/10
Uncle Remus arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out and a second two starts back, plus a win three starts back, and has run over today's trip and going. Still, 155 lb is a hefty burden, and our figures rank him only sixth of seven.
