Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Wanderlust No. 1, stall 7
Jack Dace · Iain Jardine
✓ Distance winner ✓ Trainer in form (6/27, 14 days)
Wanderlust looks the pick of an open Newcastle contest, and the progressive profile is what sets him apart from Model Yuko, who is rated just two pounds better on our figures. That upward curve gives him the edge over a rival whose sums look slightly more established, and at 87 he is firmly in the mix at the top of the ratings. Model Yuko is the chief danger, with Patrol and Porth Eilian also capable of getting involved, so this is far from a foregone conclusion. Wanderlust is the selection.
Runners
Jack Dace (5)
Iain Jardine 6/27
Wanderlust has been unplaced on his last two runs since finishing second three starts back, and at 20 days since his last outing he should be fit. He has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 87 backs him, though he remains winless in his last six starts.

Sean Dylan Bowen
Roger Varian 6/29
Fit after 14 days off and a fourth last time out, Model Yuko has run over today's trip and going, and our top-ranked runner at 89 is clear of her official 80; the risk is she's yet to win in her last five, with a sixth, seventh and eighth in that run.

Jack Callan
Dylan Cunha 1/15
Patrol is a leading danger, a winner two starts back and placed in three of his last six, and he's fit after just nine days off, with experience of today's trip and going. The one concern is a fifth last time out, while our rating of 85 ranks him third of 11 from draw four.

Jim Goldie 4/28
Krissy is winless in her last six and was only seventh last time out, though she was second twice before that and has run over today's trip and going. Ranked 10 of 11 on our figures, she looks hard to fancy carrying 135 lb from stall five.

Connor Beasley
Edward Bethell 1/30
Porth Eilian showed solid form with a second last time out, and she has won twice in her last six starts, while having run over today's trip and going before. The main risk is a stable struggling for form, with just one winner from 28 in the last 14 days.

Andrew Mullen
Charlie Johnston 5/46
Qitaal has run over today's trip and going before and won three starts back, but he's finished seventh in each of his last two outings. Fitness isn't a concern after 23 days off, and our rating of 81 sits above his official 75, though 135 lb from draw 2 leaves little margin.

Shane Gray
Sam England 1/20
Yafaarr arrives on a two-race winning streak, successful last time out and again two starts back, and he's fresh from a run 13 days ago, having already tackled today's trip and going. Carrying 134 lb from stall three, though, he's ranked only eighth of eleven on our rating of 77, which tempers the optimism.

Cam Hardie
Richard & Peter Fahey 6/51
Yafreh has been in the frame twice, with a second four starts back and another second five starts back, but he's yet to win in his last six and has finished sixth last time out, then a fifth, and a seventh before that. He has run over today's trip and returns after 25 days, while our rating of 79 sits above his official 73.

Daniel Tudhope
William Haggas 10/61
Guesstimate was second last time out, 22 days ago, and has a winner four starts back, but a seventh two starts back shows her inconsistency. Ranked ninth of 11 on our figures, she carries 129 lb from draw 9, though she has run over today's trip and going.

Luke Morris
Sir Mark Prescott Bt 2/28
Variety Act won last time out and has been in the first four in each of his last five starts, with a fourth two starts back and another three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Fitness looks fine after 18 days, but 127 lb from draw 11 and a modest speed rating of 64 hold him back, with our rating of 78 putting him seventh of 11.

Kieran O'Neill
Scott Dixon 2/26
Clatford is winless in his last three and unplaced last time out, and 120 days off the track makes him hard to fancy, though a second two starts back and previous experience on today's going give him something to work with. Our rating has him last of eleven, and he carries 126 lb from stall eight.
