Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Camarrate is the one to side with in this six-runner staying contest at Wetherby, as his progressive profile and more solid book of form give him the edge over Check The Score, who tops our figures by only six pounds. That is a modest gap, and Camarrate sits just six pounds behind him on our ratings, so there is little to separate them if he runs to his best on the good ground. Check The Score is the chief danger, with Trac and Safe Destination also close enough on our figures to pose a threat if the pick fails to progress again. Camarrate is still the preferred option, and he is our selection.

Trac won two starts back and three starts back, with a second five starts back, so he arrives a leading threat with a sixth last time out and a fifth four starts back the blemishes and he has run on today's going. The main risk is a 237-day absence, plus 168 lb on his back.

Safe Destination bounced back with a third last time out, 29 days ago, and a second five starts back shows his ceiling; he has run over today's trip and on this going, with our rating of 107 ranking him third of six. The main risk is a big weight of 165 lb after two pulled-up runs.

Camarrate comes here in cracking nick, runner-up last time out and again two starts back, with a winner four starts back, and he has run over today's trip and on the going before. Fresh enough after 29 days off, he's our pick on profile, though 165 lb is a hefty burden.

Slaney Opera has been in cracking form, second last time out, a winner two starts back, and fresh from a run 14 days ago, with experience of today's trip and going. Carrying 161 lb is a big burden though, and our rating of 102 ranks him fifth of six.

Fresh from a run 13 days ago, Check The Score won four starts back and was second three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 112 ranks him top of six. The risk is a drift in form, with a sixth last time out and a fifth the run before, under 156 lb.

Peckforton Hills has been runner-up in each of his last three starts, yet remains without a win in his last five, and a 210-day layoff plus 150 lb off a mark of 91 make him hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, but our figures rank him last of six.
