Tip for this race
All today's tips ›The Last Line is our selection, and our figures put him 18 lb clear of Some See Stars on a rating of 120, a gap that stands out in a 16-runner contest over 17f on good to soft ground. Some See Stars is the chief danger on 102, with Back In Favour on 94 and Bravemans Call on 88 the next best of those we have rated. Ten of the sixteen runners are unrated, so there are unknowns in a big field, which keeps confidence low, but The Last Line's superior level of ability should prove decisive. The Last Line gets the vote.

Highland Trail is unexposed on his debut, so there's no form to lean on and plenty of scope for improvement. He carries 168 lb, and what he shows first time out will be the telling guide.

Third last time out and fresh enough after 21 days, Some See Stars has run over today's trip and going, carries 168 lb, and is rated second-best of 16 by our figures. The risk is a pulled up and a seventh in the two runs before that, so he remains yet to win in recent starts.

Staton arrives unexposed and open to improvement, having finished a third four starts back and a fourth three starts back before two unplaced efforts, and he is yet to win in his last five. A 42-day break and 168 lb are the angles to weigh.

The Last Line was a second two starts back before going unplaced last time, and he returns after 33 days having run over today's trip. Carrying 168 lb, he tops our ratings at 120 and looks the one to beat, though he is yet to win in his last two starts.

Unexposed gelding who won his only recent start last time out, though that came 272 days ago, so fitness is a question. He carries 168 lb and looks open to improvement on such limited evidence.

Bravemans Call arrives in good heart, a second last time out and a third two starts back, and he has run over today's trip before, so he looks a strong threat under 167 lb. The one concern is that he is yet to win in those two recent runs, and our rating of 88 ranks him fourth of 16.

Back In Favour showed solid consistency with thirds two and three starts back, and she's fresh enough after 18 days off, having run over today's trip before; our rating of 94 has her third of 16. The main risk is the 161 lb she must carry after an unplaced effort last time out.
