Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Enola Grey gets the vote in a tightly packed Southwell contest, rated 74 and just a pound behind the top-rated Ribenska, but preferred on a progressive profile and the fact the clock backs her form. Ribenska is the obvious danger given her narrow rating edge, while Forbidden Colours on the same figure and Spirit of Jenny a pound further back are both firmly in the mix. With so little between the leading contenders this is no race for strong opinions, but Enola Grey's upward trajectory makes her the pick.

Lady Mariko is yet to win in her last six starts, though a fourth two starts back and a sixth last time out, 15 days ago, show some consistency; she has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 138 lb from stall six, she looks a midfield type, with our rating of 69 ranking her seventh of ten.

Diamondinthedark was fifth last time out, 15 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going before, but she is winless in her last six and was eighth two starts back. A second five starts back is her best recent effort, and a cold yard (1/28) doesn't help from draw four.

Charlie Fellowes 1/10
Ribenska has run over today's trip and going, and a third four starts back and a second six starts back show she has the ability. Our rating of 75 puts her top of the ten, but she is yet to win in her last six, with an eighth last time out the concern.

Gemma Tutty 1/9
Enola Grey comes here fresh from a third last time out just 13 days ago, and she has run over today's trip and going before, which makes her our pick on overall profile. She is yet to win in her last six, though, and 136 lb is a notable burden from stall one.

Winless in her last five, with a ninth three starts back and another ninth four starts back, Lope El Fuego returns after 44 days and has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 72 sits above her official 68, but she carries 136 lb from stall five.

Mountain of Light is winless in her last five and was beaten into ninth last time, 49 days ago, which makes her hard to fancy. Seconds two and three starts back and a previous run over today's trip offer some hope, but 136 lb is a big ask.

Kieran Shoemark
Ed Walker 6/23
Forbidden Colours has been consistent without a win, finishing fifth last time out and a fourth two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. A yard in form and our rating of 74 make her a leading threat, though 52 days off is the main risk from draw 8.

Clifford Lee
Steph Hollinshead 0/10
Spirit of Jenny has run over today's trip and going, and she was a winner five starts back, with a second four starts back, so a strong threat at the weights off 23 days' rest. The risk is a pair of fifth-placed efforts in her last two outings, which suggests she needs to rediscover that sharper form.

John Mackie 1/8
Fistral Beach has tailed off since winning five starts back, unplaced last time and a seventh two starts back, and she returns after 114 days off. She has run over today's trip and going and carries 126 lb from stall 3, but a bottom ranking on our figures makes her hard to fancy.
