Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Dancing Destiny looks the call in this eight-runner Newmarket Class 1 over a mile on good to firm, with a progressive profile that makes her the preferred option over the top-rated runner. She sits on 112, just a few pounds behind Musical Times on 117 and a point off Scommessa Sicura on 113, so she has little to find with either and the upward trajectory could close that gap. Musical Times is the main danger as the highest-rated runner in the field, with Scommessa Sicura and Exceptionally (104) also needing to be respected. Dancing Destiny is the selection.

Dancing Destiny arrives in cracking form, third last time out, and a second two starts back, with another second three starts back, plus a win four starts back, and she's fresh enough after 26 days. She has run over today's trip, though 128 lb is a notable burden.

Exceptionally has been consistent, third last time out and a third four starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before after a fair 24-day break. The main risk is that she is yet to win in her last five starts, while carrying 128 lb from draw 7.

Forbidden Fire arrives a two-time winner in her last two starts, a win last time out and another two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Against that, our rating of 100 ranks her sixth of eight, and she carries 128 lb from stall 1 off an official 102.

Fresh from a win last time out, with a second two starts back, Haven is in decent form and back quickly after 14 days, and she has run over today's trip. Even so, 128 lb from stall three is a big ask, and our figures rank her last of eight.

Lex Victoria arrives a winner last time out and again two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and on this going before, though 30 days off the track and 128 lb from stall six leave her with plenty to prove. Our rating of 103 ranks her only fifth of eight, which keeps her in the midfield.

Three wins in her last three starts, including last time out 29 days ago, make Musical Times a leading threat, and she has run over today's trip and going before. The main risk is the 128 lb she carries from draw 8, with our rating of 117 ranking her top of eight.

Scommessa Sicura has finished second in five of her last six starts, including last time out and two starts back, with a win three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 113 ranks her second of eight, but carrying 128 lb from draw 2 after 29 days off is the main risk.
