Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Billy Boi Blue No. 3
Kielan Woods · David Killahena & Graeme McPherson
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Won last time out
Billy Boi Blue heads our ratings on 118, narrowly ahead of Law of Supply on 116, and that small edge is enough to make him our pick in a Class 4 staying contest over three miles on good ground at Southwell. Law of Supply is the chief danger, only a couple of pounds adrift, while Harrys Hope on 112 and Twist of Fatecatch on 106 are also firmly in the mix. The rest of the field are rated 96 or lower, so the race should be fought out among the top four, and Billy Boi Blue gets the nod, albeit by a slim margin.

Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls 3/13
Law of Supply has finished second in each of his last two outings, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before. Carrying 170 lb is a sizeable burden, and he is yet to win in recent starts, which is the main risk.

Harrys Hope arrives consistent, with a fourth last time out, a second two starts back, and another second four runs ago, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating has her third of eight, but 59 days off and 169 lb are the main risks.

Kielan Woods
David Killahena & Graeme McPherson 2/8
Billy Boi Blue won last time out and also took a win four starts back, so he arrives fresh from a 21-day break with two victories in his last six, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating makes him the one to beat, though 169 lb is a hefty burden.

Bradley Harris (3)
Neil Mulholland 3/15
Twist of Fatecatch showed up well when third last time out and has run over today's going before, while our rating of 106 makes him a leading threat at 160 lb. The main risk is a 71-day absence, and he is yet to win in his last five starts.

Glengolly won last time out and was third and second in the two runs before that, but 204 days off is a long absence, and he carries 153 lb. He has run over today's trip and going, yet our figures rank him last of eight.

Toby Wynne
Mel Rowley 1/5
Just In A Bit has been thereabouts lately, with a third last time, another third two starts back, a third three starts back and a second four starts back, yet he is without a win in that spell. He has run over today's trip and going, but 221 days off and 149 lb are fair hurdles.

Oliver Greenall & Josh Guerriero 4/24
Moonlightinthepark is winless in her last five, though she was second last time out and third the run before, so the form is creeping up. She has run on today's going and is fresh enough after 21 days, but carrying 146 lb off 88 and ranked seventh of eight on our figures, she is hard to fancy.

Tom Ellis 1/11
Four Decades was third last time out after a sixth, two eighths and a fourth before that, so she is yet to win in her last five starts, though she has run on today's going. Our rating of 96 ranks her fifth of eight, and 142 lb off an official 84 looks a stiff ask after 34 days off.
