Verdict — our pick: Sweet Honey B
Sweet Honey B is our selection, and she looks the right one to side with in this 20-furlong Chepstow contest on good to soft ground. She sits only two pounds behind the top-rated Italian Spirit on our figures, and her fitness edge can bridge that gap, which should count for plenty over this stamina test. Italian Spirit is the obvious danger as the narrowly higher-rated runner, while Ugo Bingo and One Cool Dreamer are also firmly in the picture on their figures. Sweet Honey B can get the better of them with the sharper condition.

1. My Boy Beasty(0)Form: 407-
J: Nick Slatter(3) · T: David Killahena & Graeme McPherson · 8yo · 12st 0lb · OR 97 · trainer 25% (14d)
By Passing Glance out of Think Of The Money (Alderbrook) · Owner: G Davies
My Boy Beasty is yet to win in his last three starts, finishing seventh last time out and a fourth three starts back, and he returns after 305 days off. He has run on today's going and carries 168 lb off 97, though our rating of 88 ranks him eighth of 13.
2. Kates Choice(0)Form: 42-F13
J: Ben Poste · T: Nikki Evans · 6yo · 11st 11lb · OR 94 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Soldier Of Fortune out of Royal Choice (King's Theatre) · Owner: Pant Y Gerdinen Equine Ltd
Third last time out and a winner two starts back, Kates Choice has the recent form and has run over today's trip and going, but 123 days off and 165 lb on her back temper the case. Our 91 ranks her sixth of 13.
3. One Cool Dreamer(0)Form: 425-
J: Robert Dunne · T: Robert Stephens · 5yo · 11st 10lb · OR 93 · trainer 17% (14d)
By Oasis Dream out of Araminte (One Cool Cat) · Owner: Alison Mossop
Quick back-up after 12 days and a runner-up effort two starts back, One Cool Dreamer looks a leading threat, and our rating of 94 ranks him fourth of 13. The one concern is that he is yet to win in his last three starts and carries 164 lb.
4. Little Pi(0)Form: 22133-
J: Toby McCain-Mitchell(3) · T: Sam Allwood · 8yo · 11st 8lb · OR 91 · trainer 50% (14d)
By Dunaden out of Faustina Pius (Antonius Pius) · Owner: Lost In The Summer Wine
Little Pi has a consistent profile, finishing third last time out and third two starts back, with a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. A 195-day absence and 162 lb on his back temper enthusiasm, and our rating of 89 has him seventh of 13.
5. Midnight Pass(0)Form: -P4P36
J: James Bowen · T: Martin Keighley · 5yo · 11st 7lb · OR 90 · trainer 17% (14d)
By Passing Glance out of Midnight Gem (Midnight Legend) · Owner: Ms G E Morgan
Midnight Pass is winless in her last five, though a third two starts back sits between a sixth last time out and two pulled-up efforts; she's fresh enough after 19 days and has run over today's trip. Carrying 161 lb off 90 is a hefty ask, and our rating of 91 ranks her fifth of 13.
6. Sweet Honey B(0)Form: /56-06
J: Richie McLernon · T: Clive Boultbee-Brooks · 8yo · 11st 5lb · OR 88 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Getaway out of Kilbarry Classic (Classic Cliche) · Owner: C C Boultbee Brooks
Sweet Honey B has run over today's trip and on this going, and a month's break since a sixth last time out leaves her fresh, while our rating of 98 puts her second of 13 on our figures. She is winless in her last four, and 159 lb is a hefty burden, but the overall profile makes her our pick.
7. Ugo Bingo(0)Form: 7-7453
J: Brendan Powell · T: Joe Tizzard · 7yo · 11st 4lb · OR 87 · trainer 17% (14d)
By Walzertakt out of Krasota (Baryshnikov) · Owner: J P Romans
Third last time out, he steps up in the frame having run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 96 ranks him third of 13 at 158 lb. The one concern is a 50-day absence, and he is yet to win in his last five.
8. Italian Spirit(0)Form: 3542-8
J: Megan Bevan(7) · T: Harriet Dickin · 10yo · 11st 4lb · OR 87 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Fame And Glory out of Coco Milan (Milan) · Owner: Miss H Dickin
Italian Spirit makes plenty of appeal as a leading danger, having been second two starts back and third five starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before; our rating of 100 puts him top of 13. The risk is a 141-day absence after an eighth last time out, with 158 lb to carry.
9. V Power(0)Form: 997P/
J: Tabitha Worsley · T: Thomas Faulkner · 6yo · 11st 2lb · OR 85 · trainer 17% (14d)
By Protectionist out of Vagabonde (Acclamation) · Owner: Frn Chepstow Club
Pulled up last time out and beaten in a seventh and two ninths before that, V Power is yet to win in his last four starts, but his light profile leaves room for improvement. He returns after 46 days off, carrying 156 lb.
10. Amberelli(0)Form: 456/4-
J: Freddie Keighley(5) · T: Martin Keighley · 6yo · 11st 1lb · OR 84 · trainer 17% (14d)
By Schiaparelli out of Amber Cloud (Lomitas) · Owner: Peel Racing Syndicate
Amberelli is winless in her last four, finishing fourth last time out, a sixth two starts back, a fifth three starts back and a fourth four starts back, and a 498-day absence makes her hard to fancy. She has run on today's going, but 155 lb is a big ask, and our rating of 81 puts her ninth of 13.
11. Makinbecon(0)Form: 131665
J: Callum Pritchard · T: Barry Murphy · 6yo · 11st 0lb · OR 83 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Yeats out of Dedrunknmunky (Rashar) · Owner: A Evans
Makinbecon has finished fifth, sixth and sixth in his last three runs, so the form has tailed off since a win four starts back, and he is hard to fancy off 154 lb with an official mark of 83. On the plus side he has run over today's trip and had a break of 34 days, while our rating of 78 puts him tenth of 13.
12. Lady Blackmore(0)Form: 25567-
J: Ciaran Gethings · T: Alastair Ralph · 5yo · 10st 12lb · OR 81 · yard form 45%
By Bathyrhon out of Pennsylvanie I (Dadarissime) · Owner: Dynasty Racing
Lady Blackmore is winless in her last five, with a seventh last time out and a long 188-day layoff, so she is hard to fancy under 152 lb. She has run on today's going and was second five starts back, but our figures rank her 11th of 13.
13. Ker d'Oudairies(0)Form: P05P9-
J: Jack Tudor · T: Christian Williams · 6yo · 10st 7lb · OR 76 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Guignol out of Sonate D'Oudairies (Until Sundown) · Owner: Ms S Howell And Partner 1
Winless in his last five, Ker d'Oudairies was ninth last time out and has been pulled up twice in that spell, while a 235-day absence raises fitness doubts under 147 lb. He has run over today's trip and going before, but our figures rank him 12th of 13.
NR. Deauville Lady(0)Form: /0760-
J: David Noonan · T: Nigel Hawke · 5yo · 10st 4lb · OR 73 · trainer 0% (14d)
By Scalo out of Deauville Crystal (Raven's Pass) · Owner: Mrs K Hawke W Simms
