Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Tale Of Intrigue is our selection at Wexford, and he heads our ratings on 98, four pounds clear of Madison Twist on 94, which is a modest but real edge over a trip of around 17 furlongs. Madison Twist is the chief danger, with Hartford on 92 and Prince Malinas on 90 also close enough to pounce if the leader falters. Go Away and Ants Fantasy look a good way off the pace on 80 and 79, while Shine On Sam is unrated and hard to weigh up. Tale Of Intrigue gets the nod on that rating advantage.

Hard to fancy, as Ants Fantasy was only seventh last time out, is yet to win in his recent form and returns after 104 days off. He carries a hefty 168 lb, though he has run over today's trip, and our rating of 79 has him sixth of seven.

Go Away is hard to fancy, having finished seventh last time out and yet to win in that recent form, while a 45-day break and 168 lb on his back add to the task. He has run over today's trip, which is about the only comfort, and our rating of 80 puts him fifth of seven.

Prince Malinas bounced back with a third last time out, after an eighth and a fifth, and has run over today's trip, so he looks a leading threat under 168 lb; the main risk is a 161-day absence, though he is yet to win in recent starts.

Shine On Sam is a debutant with no recorded form, so he is totally unexposed and open to improvement. He carries 168 lb, and what he shows first time out will tell us plenty.

Tale Of Intrigue arrives fresh after 37 days off, with a second two starts back and a third five starts back showing he can get involved, and he has run over today's trip. Our top-rated runner is yet to win in his last six, but that rating makes him the one to beat despite a hefty 168 lb.

Gordon Elliott 9/51
Hartford arrives with a fourth last time out and a third two starts back, and he has run over today's trip, while our rating of 92 ranks him third of seven. The one concern is a 190-day absence, with 167 lb on his back adding to the test.

Two seventh-place finishes aren't much to shout about, but Madison Twist returns fresh after 37 days off and, carrying 167 lb, ranks second of seven on our rating, so he looks a leading danger. The main risk is that he's yet to win in his last two starts.
