Tip for this race
All today's tips ›White Noise No. 1
Tom Bellamy · Kim Bailey & Mat Nicholls
✓ Top rated ✓ Trainer in form (4/15, 14 days) ✓ Back from a 207-day break
White Noise heads our ratings on 137, five pounds clear of Karoline Banbou on 132, and that gap makes the case for her in a Class 2 over 20 furlongs on good ground at Sandown. Karoline Banbou is the chief danger, with Just A Glance on 127 and Porter In The Park on 122 also needing to be respected. The edge is a real one but not overwhelming in a competitive eight-runner field, so this is a low-confidence call. Even so, White Noise is the best-rated runner and our selection.

White Noise has been first or second in each of her last five starts, winning three of them, and was a runner-up last time out. She has run over today's trip and going before, and although 207 days off is a concern, she's the one to beat on 168 lb.

Karoline Banbou arrives off a fourth last time out and a 23-day break, and she has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 132 ranks her second of eight. The main risk is that she is yet to win in her last five starts and carries 153 lb.

Just A Glance arrives in cracking form, a second last time out following a third, and a win three starts back and another four starts back, while she has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 127 ranks her third of eight, but 151 lb is a hefty burden.

Harry Fry 2/10
Fourth last time out, after a second and a win in the two runs before, Miss Goldfire has solid recent form and has run over today's trip and going, but 35 days off and 150 lb on her back temper the enthusiasm. Our rating of 117 sits fifth of eight.

Rialannah arrives fit enough after 22 days, a fourth last time out following back-to-back wins three and four starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. The unseated two runs ago and a hefty 146 lb leave her ranked sixth of eight by our rating of 116.

Emma Lavelle 1/20
Porter In The Park comes here in good fettle, a second last time out just 11 days ago, and she has run over today's trip and on this going before, while our rating of 122 ranks her fourth of eight. The main risk is a yard out of form at one from 20 in the last fortnight, and she is yet to win in her last five.

Anthony Honeyball 4/34
Limerick Lass has solid recent form, third last time out and a winner two starts back, and she has run on today's going, but a 253-day absence is a big concern. Carrying 144 lb off a mark of 113, she looks hard to fancy, and our rating of 116 ranks her seventh of eight.

Queen's Theatre arrives a winner last time out and again two starts back, with a third three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going. However, a 335-day absence is hard to overlook, she carries 144 lb, and our figures rank her last of eight.
