Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Tommie Beau No. 3
Benjamin Macey · Seamus Mullins
✓ Top rated ✓ Course & distance winner ✓ Trainer in form (2/8, 14 days)
Tommie Beau gets the nod at Plumpton, his rating of 133 putting him narrowly ahead of a tightly packed group on 130, which is enough to make him our selection in this Class 3 staying contest over 26 furlongs on good ground. The edge is only three pounds, so this is far from a one-horse race, and Lord Accord, Ile de Jersey and Alien Storm all sit just behind and can reverse the order on a given day. Jubilant and Rickety Bridge look to have more to find on figures, which leaves the main threat as that trio on 130. Tommie Beau is the pick, albeit by a slim margin.

Alien Storm was second three starts back, and a third before that, while he has run on today's going and returns after 22 days. Yet to win in his last five, he was a ninth last time out.

Nico de Boinville
Nicky Henderson 1/10
Ile de Jersey won three starts back and was a second and a third before that, and she has run over today's trip and going before, while 164 lb is a big weight to carry; the main risk is a 324-day absence after being pulled up last time out.

Benjamin Macey (5)
Seamus Mullins 2/8
Two wins in his last five, including a victory two starts back, and only 15 days since a fifth last time out, so Tommie Beau arrives fit and has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 133 tops the field, though 163 lb is a hefty burden.

Freddie Gingell
Paul Nicholls 3/20
Rickety Bridge arrives on a four-timer, having won last time out and two and three starts back, but a 143-day layoff and 159 lb on an official rating of 125 make him hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, yet our figures rank him last of six.

Richie McLernon
Neil Mulholland 3/15
Lord Accord has run over today's trip and going before, and he showed enough with a third two starts back, and a win five starts back, to be a leading threat, rated 130 by us and second of six. The risk is a lacklustre unplaced run last time out, plus 157 lb after 39 days off.

Toby McCain-Mitchell (3)
James Owen 13/56
Jubilant has two wins in his last five, including a victory two starts back and a third last time out, but a pulled up three starts back and a sixth four starts back show inconsistency. Carrying 156 lb after 29 days off, he has run over today's trip and going, yet ranks fifth of six on our figures.
