Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Highfield Viking No. 3, stall 20
M. P. Sheehy · John & Sean Quinn
✓ Distance winner ✓ Won last time out
Highfield Viking is our selection at Redcar, and his progressive profile is the reason we prefer him to the top-rated March Ahead, who is only three pounds better on our figures. At 71 he sits right in the mix in a wide-open 19-runner Class 6 over seven furlongs on good ground, and an improving type is the one to side with when the ratings are this tight. March Ahead is the obvious danger as the top-rated runner, with Reginald Charles and Thornaby Annie, both on 72, also key dangers. Highfield Viking can keep progressing and get his head in front.

Kiss Me My Love bounced back with a second last time out after an eighth two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going, returning fresh after 16 days. Top weight of 140 lb from stall 10 is a burden, and our rating of 68 only ranks her seventh of 19.

Folkene is yet to win in her last six, with back-to-back eighths last time out and two starts back, though she has run over today's trip and on the going, and is back quickly after ten days. Carrying 140 lb from draw 15, she sits fifth of 19 on our rating of 69, which hints at a bit more than her recent finishes.

John & Sean Quinn 1/16
Fresh from a win last time out, and a third two starts back, Highfield Viking is our pick on profile: he returns after just 17 days and has run over today's trip and going before. His 140 lb is a mild concern, though our rating of 71 still supports him from stall 20.

Moostar won last time out just ten days ago, so she arrives fresh and in form, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Mixed efforts before that, a ninth and an eighth, plus 139 lb from stall two, temper enthusiasm for a midfield sort.

Thornaby Annie has run over today's trip and on this going, and she was a runner-up four starts back after a win six starts back, while our rating of 72 ranks her third of 19 and sits well above her official 65. The risk is her recent form, with a eighth last time out and nothing better than a sixth since.

Our top-rated runner at 74, March Ahead is fresh from a run 15 days ago and has experience of today's trip and going, but she's yet to win in her last five and was eighth last time out, so the form needs to bounce back from draw 18.

Reginald Charles is a leading threat, finishing second last time out and third two starts back, with 21 days since that run and experience of today's trip and going; he is yet to win in his last six starts, though, and 136 lb is a hefty burden from stall 17.

Ruth Carr 0/23
Filey Beach was beaten into eighth last time out, and though he won two starts back, he has finished fifth, fourth, fourth and seventh in the other runs before that, while a yard going 0/23 is a concern. He has run over today's trip and going and is only 16 days since his last run, but our rating of 58 ranks him 17th of 19.

Sir David was beaten into ninth last time out, and he's hard to fancy after just one win in his last six, a victory four starts back; he does have a second two starts back and has run over today's trip and going, while 134 lb from stall three adds little.

Saxon Prince is winless in his last six, though a fourth last time out, just eight days ago, suggests he is holding his form, and he has run over today's trip. Carrying 131 lb from stall seven, he needs to improve on a run of finishes outside the first three since a second six starts back.

Alistair Rawlinson

Won twice five and six starts back, but she has tailed off since, with a second four starts back followed by a fourth, a sixth and a fifth last time out. She has run over this trip and on this going and is fresh enough after 20 days, though 128 lb from draw 19 asks plenty.

Night Emperor was fourth last time out, and a third two starts back, so he's been knocking on the door lately, and he has run over today's trip and going. His winning run came four starts back, though, and our rating of 61 ranks him only 13th of 19, which suggests a ceiling.
