Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Irish Nectar No. 1, stall 8
Dylan Hogan · Michael Herrington
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Won last time out
Irish Nectar looks the strongest on our figures, rated 93 and a full 12 lb clear of Fenlander and Lil Brother, who share 81, which is a sizeable gap in a Class 5 sprint like this. That superiority should count for plenty over five furlongs on soft ground at Newmarket, where a speedy, well-rated type can dictate matters. Fenlander and Lil Brother are the chief dangers, with Holbache a little further back on 73, but none of them can match our pick on the figures. Irish Nectar is the selection.

Dylan Hogan
Michael Herrington 4/15
Irish Nectar arrives in cracking form, a winner last time out and again two starts back, and he's back quickly after just six days, with experience of today's trip and going. Our 93 rating makes him the one to beat, though 141 lb is a hefty burden from draw 8.

Fit after just 12 days off, Lil Brother has run over today's trip and on this going, and our 81 rating ranks him third of ten, so he looks a leading threat off an official 70 from draw 10. The risk is that he's yet to win in his last five, with a sixth last time out.

Chris Dwyer 1/8
Beaten into ninth last time out, Cameley Days won two starts back and has run over today's trip, while her 14-day turnaround keeps her fresh enough; however, 135 lb from draw 9 and a rating of 69 that ranks her seventh of ten suggest a midfield finish.

Olly Williams 0/2
Fenlander arrives in good heart after back-to-back thirds, fresh from a run nine days ago and with experience of both today's trip and going, while our rating of 81 sits well clear of his official 69. The one concern is that he's yet to win in his last six starts.

Yet to win in her last six, Zoustar Dreams has still been consistent, with a second and a third in the last three runs before a fifth last time ten days ago. She has run over today's trip and going, but 134 lb from draw 2 is a lot to carry.

Billy Loughnane
Roger Teal 0/11
Solar Invincible was unplaced last time out and has been off for 70 days, with his only win in his last six starts coming six starts back, though two seconds in the meantime show he can get involved. He has run over today's trip and carries 133 lb from stall three, but our rating of 68 ranks him eighth of ten.

Julie Camacho 1/21
Holbache has run over today's trip and on this going, and our rating of 73 ranks him fourth of ten, while a win five starts back shows the ability is there off an official 67. The main risk is a poor run of form, with a seventh last time out and a ninth two starts back, plus a stable struggling at 1/20.

David Allan
Tim Easterby 5/70
Albegone arrives fresh from a fourth last time out just ten days ago, with a second two starts back and a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 127 lb from draw 6, he's rated 70 by us, only sixth of ten, so the ceiling looks limited.

Harry Davies

Yet to win in his last six starts and ranked bottom of ten on our figures, My Mate Kev is hard to fancy, though he was third last time out, a second five starts back is the best of the rest, and he has run over today's trip and going. He is back quickly after just three days.

Unico is winless in her last five, with three eighth-place finishes and a ninth in that spell, though a third last time out and a quick seven-day turnaround show some promise. She has run over today's trip and on the going, but our figures rank her ninth of ten.
