Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Beckett Rock heads our ratings on 144, six pounds ahead of Daily Present on 138, and that is an edge in a 21-runner staying contest over 20 furlongs on good ground. Daily Present is the chief danger, with Balko d'Ange on 137 and Riskaway on 135 also close enough to take advantage if the ratings gap is not fully realised. With so many runners the race may not run to form, but Beckett Rock has the strongest profile on our figures and is the selection.

Our top-rated runner, Beckett Rock has run over today's trip and going, and he was second three starts back, though he was pulled up last time and returns after 190 days off. His 144 rating, against an official mark of 137, makes him the one to beat despite 166 lb.

Balko d'Ange arrives fit and in improving form after a second last time out just 13 days ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in his last five, with two falls in that spell, so jumping security is the main worry under 160 lb.

Fourth last time out offers some encouragement for Mister Pessimistic, who has run on today's going and is a winner five starts back, but he finished eighth and ninth in between, and 155 lb is a hefty burden after 36 days off. Our rating of 128 ranks him seventh of 21.

Sixth last time out, after a fifth three starts back and a fourth two starts back, he is winless in recent starts, though he has run over today's trip and going and a third four runs ago is his best finish. Carrying 153 lb off 124 after 36 days off, he looks a midfield sort, with our rating of 126 only marginally above his mark.
