Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Ashen is our selection at Newcastle, and the case rests on a progressive profile that makes him more appealing than his rating alone suggests. He is only a point behind Valor Spirit and five behind the top-rated Ventura Express, so he doesn't have a huge amount to find on figures, and his upward trajectory could well close that gap. Ventura Express is the obvious danger as the highest-rated runner, with Valor Spirit and Staniel Cay also sure to feature in a competitive 13-runner sprint, and the draw and pace in a big field could easily decide it. Ashen gets the nod for his improvement.

Julie Camacho 1/20
All Good bounces back from a pair of modest efforts with a second last time out and a win two starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going, though 35 days off and 135 lb under an official rating of 69 give her plenty to prove from draw 9.

Oisin Orr
Bryan Smart 0/5
Two seconds in his last five starts, including a runner-up two starts back, and a fourth last time out make Valor Spirit a leading danger, and he has run over today's trip. The one concern is a 42-day absence, though our rating of 74 ranks him second of 13.

David Nolan
Paul Midgley 1/11
Ranked top of the 13 on our figures at 78, a clear ten pounds above his official mark of 68, Ventura Express has run over today's trip and going and arrives fresh after 27 days off; the one concern is that he's winless in his last six, with a fifth last time out.

Jason Hart
Paul Midgley 1/11
Herakles was fourth last time out and a winner two starts back, with a second three starts back, so the recent form is solid, and he has run over today's trip and going. Against that, 145 days off is a concern, and 134 lb from draw 10 is a hefty burden.

Paul Mulrennan

Ashen is our pick on profile, having finished third last time out, and a third two starts back, with a second three starts back, all just 12 days after his latest run. He has run over today's trip and going, though he is yet to win in his last six starts.

Beaumadier is yet to win in his last six, with an eighth last time out following consecutive fifths, though a second and third earlier on show he can get involved. He has run over today's trip and going, but a 64-day break and 132 lb leave questions.

Faye McManoman
Brian Rothwell 1/4
Won last time out and four starts back, with a seventh and a fifth in between, so she's hardly consistent, and she's only back after ten days. She has run over today's trip and going, but our figures rank her 12th of 13 and 131 lb from stall 13 is a stiff ask.

William Pyle
Linda Perratt 0/8
Justmyluck is hard to fancy, winless in his last six with a seventh last time out and a pair of ninths before that, while 129 lb offers no respite. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 66 is a touch above his official 63, but that only ranks him 11th of 13.

David Allan

Brazen Idol bounces in off a second last time out, just eight days ago, and has run over today's trip and going, but he's yet to win in his last six and carries 129 lb from stall four. Our rating of 70 ranks him sixth of 13, so he looks mid-pack.

Mark Winn
Michael Dods 1/26
Simba's Pride was third last time out and has run over today's trip, but he's winless in his last six, with a third six starts back his best other finish, and the yard is quiet at 1 from 31 lately. Our rating of 69 ranks him seventh of 13, so he's a solid midfielder from draw 11.

Oliver Stammers
Grant Tuer 0/9
Staniel Cay has run over today's trip and on this going, and he's a threat with a win five starts back and a third four starts back, while our rating of 71 ranks him fourth of 13 and sits well above his official 62. The risk is a form trend that has slipped to a fifth and then a sixth last time out.

Golden Havana is hard to fancy, sixth last time out and unplaced the run before, with his yard struggling at 1/31 over the last 14 days. He has run over today's trip and going, and three seconds in his last six starts show he can get involved, but he is yet to win in that spell.

Lucius Aurelius is winless in his last six, though he was third last time out and again two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Ranked last of 13 on our figures, with a yard out of form at 1/31, he's hard to fancy despite being fresh after eight days.
