Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Puddlesinthepark looks the right one to side with in this four-runner staying contest at Sedgefield, holding a useful edge on our ratings at 103 over the 26f trip on good ground. Jeteye, on 97, is the chief danger and sits only six pounds behind, so he can make this competitive if our pick is below his best. Lights Are Green (90) is a further step back, while Luminaries (77) looks to have plenty to find. Puddlesinthepark is the selection.

Sam England 3/20
Jeteye has won two of his last six, including two starts back, and has also finished second and third in that spell, while he has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 162 lb after a fifth last time out is the main risk.

Charlie Maggs
Ewan Whillans 1/9
Luminaries arrives in cracking form, second last time out after back-to-back wins, and he's fresh from a quick seven-day turnaround, having run over today's trip and going before. The risk is his 145 lb burden, with our rating of 77 sitting below his official 82.

Conor Rabbitt
George Bewley 1/9
Lights Are Green has run over today's trip and on this going, and he's fresh from a 14-day break, with our rating of 90 putting him third of four on merit and well clear of his official 78 off 142 lb. The risk is obvious: he was pulled up last time out and is yet to win in his last five.
