Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Stung By Tariffs No. 3
Sam Twiston-Davies · Henry Daly
✓ Top rated ✓ Trainer in form (2/7, 14 days) ✓ Back from a 244-day break
Stung By Tariffs shares the highest rating in an 18-runner Class 5 over 20 furlongs at Chepstow, and we prefer him to Moorefields on his progressive profile, which should count in a stamina test on good to soft ground. Moorefields is the obvious danger on the same figure, while Isabella Islay is only a pound behind and Agent Argylle, a few pounds further back, also commands respect. The margins at the top are tight and this is a wide-open contest, so confidence is low, but Stung By Tariffs is the sort to improve past his rivals. Stung By Tariffs is the selection.

Richie McLernon
Charlie Longsdon 5/11
Fourth last time out and a sixth two starts back suggest Are You Joking is competitive, yet he is winless in his last four and returns after 216 days off. He has run over today's trip and carries 168 lb off 100, with our rating of 97 placing him fifth of 18.

Third last time out and a winner three starts back, Highbury Hill has run over today's trip and going, but a 205-day absence is a concern and 167 lb is a hefty burden; our 95 rating ranks her seventh of 18.

Stung By Tariffs is a long absentee at 244 days, and he was pulled up last time, but he was third two starts back and has run on today's going before. Our rating of 104 puts him second of 18, and his official mark of 99 gives him a sound platform.

Man Maid is consistent, with a third last time out and a fourth two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. A 216-day layoff and a winless recent run, plus 165 lb on her back, temper the appeal, though our rating of 96 has her sixth of 18.

Isabella Islay arrives with solid recent form, third last time out, a winner two starts back, and a third three starts back, and has run over today's trip, while our rating of 103 ranks her third of 18. The main risk is a 175-day absence, with 165 lb to carry.

Corner Forward arrives off a third last time out, though that came after an eighth and two sixths, and he is yet to win in his last five starts. A 197-day layoff and 164 lb are the concerns, while he has run on today's going before.

Chris Honour 0/5
Moorefields has twice finished third in his last five starts, and our top-ranked runner of 18 sits 9 lb above his official mark of 95 on 104, while he has run over today's trip. The big risk is a 724-day absence and a fall last time out, so he is yet to show he is fit again.

Midnight Pass arrives on a fair note after a third last time out, and she has run over today's trip and going before, but she is winless in her last six and has been pulled up twice in that spell. Carrying 158 lb off 90, she looks a solid mid-pack type.

Agent Argylle's recent form is modest, with a seventh last time out and a win five starts back, but he's been off 229 days and our rating of 98, fourth of 18, makes him a leading threat off an official mark of 89. The main risk is that long absence, plus carrying 157 lb.

Winless in her last four, I Heard A Rumour was sixth last time out and a fourth two starts back, before a seventh and an unseated rider, so she is hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and going and has had 28 days to recover, but 156 lb is a big ask, with our rating of 86 placing her 15th of 18.

V Power bounced back with a second last time out, but that follows a pulled up and three finishes of seventh or worse, so he is winless in his last five. He has run over today's trip and going and shouldn't be rusty after 24 days, yet 155 lb and a 16th-of-18 ranking on our figures make him hard to fancy.
