Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Jujubella No. 1, stall 5
David Nolan · Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore
✓ Top rated ✓ Course & distance winner ✓ Won last time out
Jujubella heads our ratings on 75, but only narrowly, and she gets the nod in a tightly knit Newcastle contest over a trip of 12 furlongs. Mr Moonshine, Saxophonist and Elemental Eye are each rated just a pound behind on 74, so any of them could reverse the order and this is far from a confident call. Prince Achille, a further four pounds back on 70, is the next in line, while the bottom half of the field look to have plenty to find. Jujubella's narrow edge at the top of the ratings is enough to make her the pick.

David Nolan
Lucinda Russell & Michael Scudamore 5/26
Jujubella arrives fresh from a win last time out, with a second two starts back, and returns just 15 days later having run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 75 tops the field against an official mark of 69, though 141 lb is a notable burden.

Andrew Mullen
Iain Jardine 6/27
Elemental Eye is a leading danger, having won three starts back and finished second two starts back before a seventh last time out, and he has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 74 sits well above his official 68, but 140 lb is the main risk.

Daniel Tudhope
David O'Meara 4/44
Saxophonist arrives with a strong body of recent form, finishing second twice and third twice in his last six starts, and he has run on today's going before. The one concern is a seventh last time out, and he is still yet to win while carrying 136 lb.

Ethan Tindall (5)
Richard & Peter Fahey 6/51
Fourth last time out, and a winner three starts back, Mr Moonshine has hit the frame regularly and returns fresh after 15 days, having run over today's trip and going before. Our rating ranks him second of 12, but 135 lb is the main risk.

Luke Morris
Alexandra Dunn 1/3
Stage Show was a fifth last time out and a third two starts back, with a win four starts back, so he's in the mix, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 134 lb off an official mark of 62 and ranked seventh of twelve by our rating, he looks more of a midfield type than a winner.

Sean Kirrane
Alan Brown 0/2
Charlie Darling won three and four starts back but has tailed off since, a sixth two starts back then an eighth last time out, and returns after 130 days off. He has run over today's trip and going, though carrying 133 lb off 61 and ranked eighth of twelve by our rating, he looks a midfield type.

Connor Beasley
Jedd O'Keeffe 1/4
Prince Achille was fourth last time out, and a third two starts back, so he's in respectable form, and he has run over today's trip and going before after 21 days off. Yet to win in his last six, he carries 131 lb off an official mark of 59, and our rating of 70 makes him a midfield sort.

Sam James
Phillip Makin 0/6
Winner last time out and again two starts back, he arrives fit after 21 days and has run over today's trip and going, but a ninth three starts back shows the form can unravel, and 131 lb is a hefty burden for a runner ranked sixth of twelve on our rating.

Shane Gray
Daragh Bourke 0/4
Habari is winless in his last five, finishing eighth last time out and a seventh two starts back, and a 176-day layoff raises fitness doubts. He has run on today's going and our rating of 60 ranks him ninth of twelve, so he is hard to fancy.

Rebecca Menzies 0/12
Without a win in his last six, Bruce Banner has been a consistent fourth three runs running, but a 43-day break and a 10th-of-12 ranking on our figures make him hard to fancy; he has run over today's trip and going, and a mark of 53 gives him a chance.

Winless in his last five, Togeather Forever is hard to fancy, with an eighth two starts back and nothing better than a fourth last time out; he's only 16 days since that run, and our rating of 48 ranks him 11th of 12, below his official rating of 52.

William Pyle
Gary Rutherford 0/3
The Floors Munky is winless in his last six, finishing eighth on each of his last two starts, and rock-bottom on our figures at 12th of 12 makes him hard to fancy. He is back after 14 days and has run on today's going before, but that is about all in his favour off 117 lb.
