Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Kenough heads our ratings on 99, four pounds clear of Cite Florale on 95, and that edge is enough to make him the call in an eight-runner field over 17f on good to soft. Cite Florale is the chief danger and sits close enough to turn the tables, while Fay Og (78) and Swift Charm (75) look a fair way behind on our figures. Four of the field are unrated, so there is some unknown quantity, but Kenough has the best credentials of those we can assess. Kenough is our selection.

Contador is unexposed, with just one recent outing to go on, a seventh last time out 18 days ago, so there should be scope for improvement. The gelding is yet to win in that limited form and carries 152 lb.

Fay Og has run over today's trip and returns after 31 days off, with our rating of 78 putting him third of eight and making him a live threat under 152 lb. The main risk is a seventh last time out, his only recent run, so he is yet to show he can go well.

Kenough comes here fresh from a third last time out just 18 days ago, and he has run over today's trip before. Our top-rated runner of the eight, he carries 152 lb, which is the one reservation, but he looks the one to beat.
