Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Chosen Hero No. 7
Jonathan Burke · James Owen
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Trainer in form (13/56, 14 days)
Chosen Hero heads the line-up on our figures with a rating of 103, four pounds better than Lets Go Mo and a full ten clear of Everest, which is a meaningful edge in a Class 5 contest over 16 furlongs on good to soft. Lets Go Mo is the most obvious danger and sits narrowly behind on 99, while Everest and Suzy Wood look the next most capable of making it competitive. The bottom half of the field, from Sadies Diamond down to the unrated Poets Pearl, looks well short of this level. Chosen Hero is the confident selection.

Caoilin Quinn
Jamie Moore & Josh Moore 1/12
Everest has twice finished third in her last five starts and a fourth two starts back, while she has run over today's trip and going before; our rating of 93 ranks her third of nine. The big risk is a 143-day absence after being pulled up last time, with 167 lb to carry.

Neil Mulholland 3/15
Little Lady Lucy won three and four starts back and was second two starts back, but a ninth last time out and a 127-day break temper the appeal. She has run over today's trip and going, though 165 lb is a hefty burden off an official mark of 86.

Sean Houlihan
Philip Hobbs & Johnson White 1/18
Ashpriors is hard to fancy: she fell last time out after a seventh two starts back, is winless in her last three, and returns from 225 days off. She has run over today's trip and our rating of 61 ranks her eighth of nine, though 163 lb is a notable burden.

Tom Cannon
Lucy Wadham 0/1
Fourth last time out, she's been creeping forward in her last five, and she has run over today's trip and going before; our rating of 99 puts her second of nine despite a mark of 83 and 162 lb. The main risk is a 233-day layoff.

Andy Irvine 0/0
Suzy Wood arrives with a third three starts back and a fifth last time out, and has run over today's trip, while our rating of 86 ranks her fourth of nine and makes her a live threat off 161 lb. The main risk is a 281-day absence, so fitness is the big question.

Paul O'Brien
Harry Derham 3/22
Unexposed filly who has yet to win in her last four, finishing fourth, fifth, fifth and then seventh last time out, so there's scope for more; she's quick back after 13 days and carries 160 lb off an official mark of 81.

Chosen Hero tops our ratings on a figure of 103, and she has run over today's trip and going before, though she's pulled up in her last three outings and returns after 197 days off, so she must bounce back under 158 lb off an official mark of 79.

Sadies Diamond is winless in her last four, though a fifth last time out follows a third two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. A 66-day absence and 156 lb make her hard to fancy, with our rating of 80 only seventh of nine.

James Best
Harriet Dickin 0/6
Third last time out and fourth in her two runs before, she's been creeping forward after only 15 days off, and has run over today's trip and going. Yet to win in her last five starts and carrying 156 lb, she looks capable of another solid run rather than a clear-cut threat.
