Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Home By The Lee No. 1
Richard Deegan · Joseph Patrick O'Brien
✓ Top rated ✓ Course & distance winner ✓ Back from a 182-day break
Home By The Lee is the standout on our figures, rated 165, a full 12 lb clear of Casheldale Lad and The Yellow Clay on 153, and that is a sizeable gap in a Class 1 contest over 20 furlongs on good ground. With such a margin in hand, he looks to hold the strongest claims on merit and should be hard to peg back if he arrives in his usual form. Casheldale Lad and The Yellow Clay are the main dangers, with Slade Steel a little further back on 150 and also worth respecting. Home By The Lee is our selection.

Three wins in his last five starts, including a hat-trick running from four starts back to two back, makes Home By The Lee the one to beat, and he has run over today's trip and going before. A pulled up last time out and 182 days off are the reservations, but our 165 rating tops the field.

Mr D L Queally
Declan Queally 0/4
I'll Sort That won four of his last five, with a fifth last time out, and has run over today's trip and going. Still, 248 days off is a long layoff, 163 lb is a big burden, and our figures rank him last of eight.

Slade Steel won last time out and has a second five starts back among his recent finishes, and he has run over today's trip and going before, carrying 162 lb off an official mark of 150. The main risk is a 222-day layoff, so fitness is the question.

Staffordshire Knot won twice in his last five starts, a first three starts back and another five back, but he was sixth last time and pulled up before that, and he returns after 194 days off. He has run over today's trip and carries 162 lb off 149, while our rating of 147 ranks him fifth of eight.

Casheldale Lad has won two of his last five, including back-to-back victories four and five starts back, and a third two runs ago shows he retains plenty of ability, while he has run on today's going before. The risk is a 107-day absence and a ninth last time out, with 157 lb to carry.

Dawn Rising has tailed off since a winner four starts back and again five starts back, with a sixth last time out and a pulled up before that, so he is hard to fancy carrying 157 lb. In his favour, he has run over today's trip and going, and our figures still rank him seventh of eight.

The Yellow Clay has run over today's trip and going, and a second four starts back is his best recent effort, while a rating of 153 ranks him third of eight. The main risk is a 222-day layoff, with a fifth last time out and a fall before that, under 157 lb.

Third last time out, and a winner two starts back, Feet Of A Dancer has sound recent form and has run over today's trip and going, but a 247-day absence and 155 lb on her back temper enthusiasm; our rating of 146 ranks her sixth of eight.
