Verdict — our pick: Chesneys Charm

Chesneys Charm heads this nine-runner Class 5 contest over ten furlongs at Redcar on good ground narrowly ahead of the field on form, and with the extra stamina that a mile and a quarter demands he ought to be able to assert as the race develops. Always Blue, three pounds behind, represents the most obvious threat and cannot be dismissed lightly, while Boubyan and Yafaarr, both a further four pounds adrift, will need to produce career-best efforts to get involved. The confidence is not absolute, but Chesneys Charm's edge on our ratings makes him the one to be on, and he is our selection.

1. Chesneys Charm(9)Form: 8-7607

J: Jason Hart · T: Ivan Furtado · 4yo · 9st 12lb · OR 66 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Mohaather out of Velvet Charm (Excelebration) · Owner: James Paul Services To Industry Ltd

11/2Bet365

Winless in his last five starts, Chesneys Charm nevertheless catches the eye on a our rating of 77 — top of these, if only narrowly — and returns fit on just 14 days' rest, with experience of today's trip and going in his favour from stall nine carrying 138 lb.

2. Yafaarr(4)Form: 601324

J: Cian Horgan(5) · T: Sam England · 4yo · 9st 11lb · OR 65 · trainer 0% (14d)

By Blue Point out of Elusive Girl (Elusive City) · Owner: Skips And Screwdrivers

13/2Bet365

Yafaarr arrives in good heart after a second two starts back, boasting experience over today's trip and conditions and a rating edge over his official mark; the worry is a fourth last time out leaves something to prove.

3. Cosmos Raj(3)Form: 576644

J: Billy Garritty · T: David O'Meara · 8yo · 9st 9lb · OR 63 · trainer 12% (14d)

By Iffraaj out of Cosmos Pink (Dansili) · Owner: Nick Crummack Partner

20/1Coral

Winless in his last six starts, Cosmos Raj nevertheless shows consistency in mid-division, with back-to-back fourths his most recent efforts; he has run over today's distance and going before, and 17 days between runs suggests he arrives fresh, though 135 lb is a stern enough burden to overcome.

4. Always Blue(6)Form: 2543

J: Sean D Bowen · T: Harriet Bethell · 3yo · 9st 9lb · OR 70 · trainer 25% (14d)

By Masar out of Tahneed (War Front) · Owner: James Rowsell And John Norbury

Consistent and close to her best, Always Blue has been placed twice in her last four starts and, rated 74, shapes as a leading threat from stall six over a trip and going she has experience of; the risk is that she remains winless in her last four outings.

5. Boubyan(8)Form: 025433

J: Lewis Edmunds · T: Michael Appleby · 4yo · 9st 9lb · OR 63 · trainer 12% (14d)

By Churchill out of Double Fantasy (Indian Ridge) · Owner: Matthew Taylor

Boubyan has run over today's trip and going before and arrives fresh on a 16-day break, with consecutive thirds in his last two outings suggesting he is knocking hard on the door; yet to score in recent starts, the concern is whether he can convert that consistency into something more decisive from stall 8 off 135 lb.

7. Sweet Kiss(2)Form: 945626

J: Jake Dickson(5) · T: Tim Easterby · 4yo · 9st 5lb · OR 59 · trainer 5% (14d)

By Ulysses out of Maybeagrey (Shamardal) · Owner: Reality Partnerships Viii

Winless in her last six starts, Sweet Kiss does at least bring distance and going experience to the table and a return in 12 days suggests she is ready, but a struggling trainer at 5% and a sixth-of-nine ranking make improvement hard to fancy.

8. Ceinture d'Orion(5)Form: 46343

J: David Nolan · T: David O'Meara · 3yo · 9st 3lb · OR 64 · trainer 12% (14d)

By Sea The Stars out of Quiet Protest (Kingmambo) · Owner: Georginio Rutter Jinky Farms

Winless in her last five starts and ranked eighth of nine on our figures, Ceinture d'Orion faces a stiff ask here, though she has run over today's trip and going before and returns on a sharp 12-day turnaround showing the yard has her fit.

9. Whiskey Pete(7)Form: 000962

J: Alex Jary(3) · T: Nigel Tinkler · 5yo · 9st 3lb · OR 57 · trainer 5% (14d)

By Night Of Thunder out of Dorcas Lane (Norse Dancer) · Owner: Martin Webb Racing

11/1Unibet

Winless in his last six starts, with three unplaced efforts among recent outings, Whiskey Pete is hard to fancy from stall seven carrying 129 lb, though the runner-up finish last time and experience over today's distance and going offer slim encouragement.

NR. Adiada(1)Form: 524-8

J: Rhys Elliott(5) · T: Michael Dods · 3yo · 9st 6lb · OR 67 · trainer 16% (14d)

By Postponed out of Antico Lady (Dandy Man) · Owner: Antico Alliance

Winless in her last four starts and ranked last on our figures, Adiada faces a stiff task here, though she shaped with promise when second three starts back and returns on a quick turnaround of 12 days from stall one carrying 132 lb.
