The feature grade two race closes out the card and this is where Sunderland's ratings have historically been at their most reliable - the top-rated dog here has actually shown a positive return across the sample, a rare thing at this track. Trap one has been the best draw at this level with trap three the weakest. Linton Ralph tops the field on rating and on speed together, with a big closing gear that has produced some huge performance figures recently. Kippers Puma was a big price and ran a career-best last time out, doing his best work from off the pace too. Marwood Magic was a close second last time and Charlies Topshot has real gate speed but an erratic pace pattern. This looks the most competitive heat on the card, with the top two the clear standouts.
Tops this field on both rating and speed and has produced some huge performance figures in recent starts, including one of the best runs seen on this card all day a couple of weeks back. Was third last time out but the underlying level of form is a clear cut above this field. Excellent course-and-distance record too, three wins and five places from ten runs at this trip. In the strongest grade on the card, where the top-rated dog has genuinely delivered, he ticks every box.
Produced a career-best performance last time out, finishing third at a huge figure, and does all his best work from off the pace with a strong closing gear. Outstanding course-and-distance record, three wins and six places from ten runs at this trip. If that improved form is for real, he's fast enough to trouble the selection.
Runner-up last time out at a strong figure and does his best work from off the pace with a huge closing gear. Excellent course-and-distance record, three wins and six places from ten runs at this trip. A fair draw and clearly in form, he's right in this contest even if just behind the top two on the headline figures.
Owns the fastest single recorded time in this field and has the best course-and-distance win rate too, four wins and four places from ten runs at this trip. Fifth last time out was a slightly below-par effort though. Trap six is a reasonable draw and on pure pace he can't be dismissed.
Gets the best-performing trap in this grade and has the best first-bend figure in the field, third last time out at a solid level. Fair course-and-distance record, two wins and three places from nine runs at this trip. The draw is a plus but the headline figures are a clear step behind the two market leaders.
Very fast into stride with huge early pace figures but an erratic, inconsistent pace pattern that makes him hard to trust round to round - fifth last time out after a much better effort before that. Decent course-and-distance record, three wins and three places from six runs at this trip. Capable of a bold showing but equally capable of fading fast.
Key insight: Grade two is Sunderland's strongest grade for the composite - the top-rated dog wins 24.9% and has actually shown a positive return, unusual for this track. When that top-rated dog also leads on raw speed, as today, the signal is stronger still.
