Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Gaelic Saint is our pick here, only three pounds behind the top-rated Maasai Mara on our figures, and he gets the nod thanks to a fitness edge and a progressive profile that suggest he is the one heading in the right direction. Maasai Mara is the obvious danger as the highest-rated runner, while Phoenix Risen and Zenato both sit within reach of our selection and can't be dismissed in a competitive nine-runner Class 5 over 16f on good ground. This is far from a foregone conclusion, but Gaelic Saint looks the sharper and more improving type. Gaelic Saint is the selection.

Gaelic Saint is our pick on profile: she has run over today's trip and going, comes here fresh after 22 days, and was fourth last time out, with a second five starts back. She's winless in her last five, but a 113 rating on our figures backs her claims.

Maasai Mara has finished fifth twice in his last four starts, though he was seventh last time out and returns after 98 days off, but he has run over today's trip and going and our ranking has him top of nine. The risk is that recent finishes are unconvincing and he is yet to win in that spell.

Zenato won three and four starts back and has run over today's trip and going, while carrying 167 lb off an official mark of 104 and a 27-day break; our rating of 107 makes him a leading threat. The risk is that he was pulled up last time out.

Phoenix Risen won four starts back and was second five runs ago, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before. Our rating of 110 ranks him third of nine, but back-to-back fifths and an eighth last time out are the worry.

Seraphic arrives on a hat-trick, having won last time out, two starts back and three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Back out just one day after his last run and carrying 165 lb, he looks a fifth-ranked runner on our rating of 105.

Taritino won two starts back and five starts back, with a second and a third in between, but was only sixth last time out and returns after 46 days. He has run over today's trip and on the going, and carries 163 lb, and our rating of 103 ranks him sixth of nine.

No Hard Feelings won three on the spin, but those came three to five starts back, and he has since been a sixth, then unplaced last time out, so the form is heading the wrong way. Carrying 161 lb off 98, he has run over today's trip, but our rating of 84 ranks him last of nine.

Happy Chandler is winless in his last three, though he has crept from fifth to fourth to third, and he has run over today's trip and going. A 45-day layoff and 154 lb are hard to ignore, and our figures rank him eighth of nine.

Lucky Sevens has been in the frame in three of his last four, including a second last time out and a win three starts back, and has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 146 lb off 99, though, he is ranked only seventh of nine on our figures, which makes him hard to fancy.
