Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Blue Bolt No. 1, stall 3
Colin Keane · Andrew Balding
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Won last time out
Blue Bolt looks the one to beat in this seven-runner Class 1 contest over a mile at Newmarket, with our figures putting her 8 lb clear of her nearest rival, a sizeable margin at this level. The good to firm ground is an unknown on these facts, but he has plenty in hand over the bulk of this field. Evolutionist is the main danger on the next-best figure, with Kon Tiki and City of Memphis a further 3 lb back and needing to improve to reach him. Blue Bolt is the confident selection.

W. J. Lee
P. Twomey 3/13
City of Memphis arrives in cracking form, a second last time out following a hat-trick of wins, and she has run over today's trip before after a fresh 21-day break. The main risk is the 131 lb she carries from draw 4, with our rating of 112 ranking her only fourth of seven.

Marco Ghiani
Jane Chapple-Hyam 3/10
Kon Tiki makes plenty of appeal, a winner two starts back who has run over today's trip and on this going, and our rating of 112 ranks her third of seven. The risk is a ninth last time out, so she must bounce back after 35 days off carrying 131 lb from stall two.

Saffie Osborne
Owen Burrows 0/9
Three wins in her last five starts is a strong profile, though she was only sixth last time out and returns after 35 days. She has run over today's trip and going before, carries 128 lb from stall 5, and our rating of 111 ranks her fifth of seven.

Shane Foley
K. R. Burke 10/50
Evolutionist is a leading threat, having finished fourth in each of her last two starts and with a win five starts back, plus experience over today's trip and going, from stall 1. The main risk is a 62-day absence, and she carries 128 lb.

David Probert
Sir Mark Prescott Bt 3/19
Moon Target has been placed in three of her last five, including a third last time out, but she's yet to win in that spell and sits sixth of seven on our figures. She has run over today's trip and going, yet 128 lb from stall seven and a 35-day break make her hard to fancy.

Rossa Ryan

Three wins in her last four starts is a strong profile, but a fourth last time out ended the run, and she has had 35 days off. She has run over today's trip and going, yet our figures rank her last of seven, and 128 lb from draw six is a lot to ask.
