Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Shagraan is our selection in this 21-runner sprint on soft ground at Doncaster, and the case rests on a progressive profile that makes him more appealing than his raw figure suggests. He is rated 111, just two pounds behind the top-rated Jasour on 113, so there is very little between them and the improvement he has shown can bridge that gap. Jasour is the chief danger as the top-rated runner, with Montassib on the same figure as our pick and Myal a pound back, all of whom must be respected in such a big field. Shagraan looks the one to be with on the way his form is trending.

William Buick
Grant Tuer 0/5
Won last time out and was second two starts back, so he arrives in good heart after just 15 days, having run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 131 lb from stall 16, with a mixed record earlier in the sequence, our rating of 100 only ranks him 11th of 21.

Coul Angel arrives a course-free but in-form gelding, having won last time out and again two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. A 28-day break and 131 lb from stall 15 temper things, with our rating of 107 only seventh of 21 against an official 108.

Goldmoyne showed decent recent form with a third last time out, a winner two starts back and a second three starts back, but he's rated 91 by us, ranked 19 of 21, and carries 131 lb off an official 95. He's run over today's trip and going, and the yard is in form, though that is a thin case.

Clive Cox 1/9
Our top-rated runner, Jasour has been beaten in his last six outings, but a 21-day break suggests he's fresh and he has run over today's trip before. The main risk is that form figures of unplaced, sixth and fifth offer little reassurance from stall 10 off 131 lb.

Montassib comes here on the upgrade after a third last time out, and our rating of 111 ranks him second of 21, with experience of both today's trip and going. Yet to win in his last five, he's still looking for that breakthrough, and 38 days off is the main query.

Myal arrives off a third last time out and has run over today's distance and going before, while our rating of 110 ranks him fourth of 21 and makes him a leading threat from stall two. The main risk is a 35-day break after a pair of sevenths, three and four starts back, and 131 lb to carry.

Pellitory won three and five starts back and was a fourth two outings ago, but he was unplaced last time out 28 days ago, and he has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 131 lb from stall one, he sits eighth of 21 on our rating of 106, so he looks solidly midfield.

Poatan won two starts back but was only seventh last time out, and he's been inconsistent, with a seventh three starts back too. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 108 sits above his official 104, though 131 lb from stall 18 is a lot to carry.

Ryan Moore

Winner last time out and two starts back, Unique Journey arrives fit after just six days and has run over today's trip and going, though a seventh and an eighth before that show his consistency can wobble, and 131 lb from stall 17 is a stiff ask.

Ellusive Butterfly followed up back-to-back wins with a seventh last time out, and that dip, plus 129 lb off an official rating of 99, makes her hard to fancy. Fifteen days since her last run and experience of today's trip help, though, and our rating ranks her 15th of 21 from draw 14.

Lady Youmzain arrives on the back of a sixth last time out and a seventh two starts back, though a second three starts back and a win five starts back show she has ability, and she has run over today's trip and going. Drawn 12 and carrying 126 lb off 94, she looks a mid-pack type, with our rating of 100 ranking her 12th of 21.

Midnight Tango has been well held in her last three, finishing a seventh last time out, then a sixth twice, though a second five starts back shows she has a bit of ability. She has run over today's trip and arrives fit from a yard in form, but she is yet to win in recent starts.

Nariko is hard to fancy, winless in her last five and beaten in the four runs before a third last time out, while a 50-day layoff adds doubt. She has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 95 sits above her official 89, but 16th of 21 says plenty.
