Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Calme Olympien looks the one to be on at Plumpton, sitting just a pound behind the top-rated Everyonesgame on our figures but holding the edge on fitness and a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come over this 20-furlong trip. That slight deficit can be overcome, and on a good surface he should be ideally placed to take advantage in a tightly packed Class 4. Everyonesgame is the obvious danger as the narrowly higher-rated runner, while Keno Black and The Boss Bear are both only two pounds behind our pick and cannot be dismissed. Calme Olympien is the selection.

Everyonesgame signed off with a second last time out and has run over today's trip and on this going, while carrying 164 lb off an official mark of 110. The main risk is a 160-day absence, with his other recent runs a fifth, sixth and seventh before that.

James Owen 13/56
The Boss Bear has run over today's trip and going, and he showed his ability with a win five starts back and a second four starts back, while carrying 163 lb off an official mark of 109. The risk is a 210-day absence after two eighth-place finishes, which leaves fitness a question.

Calme Olympien arrives fairly fresh after 24 days off, with a fourth last time out and a third two starts back keeping him in the mix, and he has run over today's trip and on this going. Carrying 162 lb is a reservation, but our rating of 112 puts him second of seven.

Kandor looks hard to fancy after 167 days off and a fourth last time out, while carrying 161 lb and ranking sixth of seven on our figures. Still, he's a winner two starts back and five starts back, and has run over today's trip and going.

Keno Black won two starts back and carries 161 lb off an official mark of 107, with our rating of 110 ranking him third of seven, so he looks a leading threat. The risk is a 220-day absence and a fall last time out.

Low Expectations is hard to fancy after a seventh last time out and an eighth before that, and he returns from 218 days off under 156 lb. A winner four and five starts back, he has run over today's trip and on this going, but our figures rank him last of seven.

Nico de Boinville
Nicky Henderson 1/10
Coastal Command was third last time out and has finished third in two of his other three recent runs, though he is yet to win in that spell, and an eighth two starts back shows the inconsistency. He has run over today's trip and going, but 57 days off and 156 lb temper the appeal, with our rating of 109 only fifth of seven.
