Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Kaleido is our selection here, preferred over the top-rated First Ambition on a progressive profile that suggests there is more to come, and he is only four pounds behind that rival on our figures. First Ambition is the obvious danger as the highest-rated runner, while Candonomore sits just two pounds ahead of Kaleido and Priapos is level with him, so this looks a tight little contest. Kaleido can come out on top by continuing his upward curve on the Newcastle all-weather, though confidence is low in such a close race. We side with Kaleido.

Priapos arrives fresh enough after 16 days, has run over today's trip and going before, and a winner six starts back shows he can deliver, with a fifth last time out keeping him in the mix from stall four. The risk is a run of finishes outside the places since, carrying 153 lb.

Jennie Candlish 3/28
Candonomore has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 83 ranks him second of five, while his speed figure of 80 backs the case, though a winner six starts back. The risk is a modest run of finishes since, sixth last time out and returning from 75 days off.

Michael Keady 0/7
Fit after 20 days off and rated top of this five-runner field by our figures (85 against an official 81), First Ambition has run over today's trip and going before, and a third two starts back is his best recent effort. The risk is that he's yet to win in his last six starts and was unplaced last time out.

David O'Meara 4/44
Kaleido has finished third in each of his last two starts, and he returns just 16 days later having run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in his last six, he looks a solid pick on consistency, though 138 lb from draw 3 is a fair burden.

Cam Hardie
Antony Brittain 1/13
King Casper has been unplaced last time out and in two other recent runs, with an eighth two starts back and a ninth five starts back, so he is hard to fancy after 40 days off. He has run over today's trip and our rating ranks him last of five, though 133 lb from stall five is his only talking point.
