Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Quinta Do Lago rates level with Generous Risk on our figures at 126, and a fitness edge plus a progressive profile make him the one to side with over the top-rated Riskaway, who is only four pounds better on paper. Over 20 furlongs on good ground, that sharpness and upward trajectory should count for plenty against rivals who may have less room for improvement. Riskaway is the chief danger given his 130 rating, while Generous Risk and Sageborough, on 124, are both capable of making it a tight finish. Quinta Do Lago is the selection.

Mrs J. Harrington 3/22
Quinta Do Lago comes here a winner last time out, just 13 days ago, and has won twice in his last five starts, so he looks fit and in form. He has run over today's trip and going before, and that profile makes him our pick despite carrying 159 lb.

Paul Nolan 2/10
Fourth last time out and a winner three starts back, Sageborough returns after 25 days and has run on today's going before, so he's a leading danger. The risk is consistency, with a pulled up two starts back and a fall five runs ago, and he carries 154 lb off 126.

Patrick T Foley 2/7
Mojoe is hard to fancy after being pulled up last time out and returning from a 185-day absence, with our figures ranking him fifth of six. Two wins in his last five, including one two starts back, and previous experience of today's trip and going do give him some credit.

Anthony John Black 1/1
Speisialta arrives in good heart, a winner last time out and a third two starts back, and she's fresh from an 11-day break, with experience of today's going. Carrying 153 lb off an official mark of 123, though, she's hard to fancy, and our figures rank her last of six.
