Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Fortamour heads our ratings on 80, three pounds ahead of Bright, and that narrow edge is enough to make him our selection in a wide-open 13-runner Class 5 sprint at Newcastle. Bright is the chief danger on 77, with Massimo Blue on 75 and Tiriac on 73 also firmly in the picture, so this is far from a gift. With the pack so tightly bunched behind him, Fortamour's slight superiority on the figures gives him the best claim over the six furlongs, though confidence is low. Fortamour is the pick.

Edward Greatrex
Dylan Cunha 5/25
Massimo Blue arrives in cracking nick, a winner last time out just 11 days ago and with three wins in his last six starts, and he has run over today's trip and going before. The risk is 140 lb from draw 9, a hefty burden to carry after a sixth two starts back.

Barry McHugh
Ben Haslam 0/9
Fortamour has run over today's trip and on this going, and his second four starts back is the best of a lean recent sequence, though he returns 25 days after his last run. Our rating of 80 is well clear of his official 68, which makes him the one to beat from draw 8 off 133 lb.

Rhys Elliott (5)
Michael Dods 2/24
Roaring Ralph arrives fresh from a third last time out, 18 days ago, and has run over today's trip and going before, but he is yet to win in his last six starts. Our rating of 71 ranks him sixth of 13, and 133 lb from stall five asks plenty of a gelding who is still looking for a breakthrough.

Shane Gray
Sam England 3/23
Fifth last time out after back-to-back thirds, he's been consistent without winning since a victory six starts back, though he has run over today's trip and going and returns after 18 days. Carrying 132 lb from draw 13, our rating of 71 puts him fifth of 13.

Andrew Mullen
Iain Jardine 1/24
Invincible Ruby is hard to fancy after a seventh last time out and an unplaced run before that, with a win six starts back now fading and her yard 1/24 over the last 14 days. On the plus side, she has run over today's trip and going, is back quickly after 13 days, and sits close to her official mark of 67.

Jason Hart
Mark Loughnane 2/17
Bright has been well beaten in his recent starts, but our rating of 77 ranks him second of 13 and he has run over today's trip and going, so he could bounce back after 29 days off. The risk is obvious: he's winless in his last six, with nothing better than a seventh.

Kevin Stott
Philip Kirby 1/17
The Green Man is winless in his last six, with a seventh last time out and a sixth before that, though he was third five and six starts back and has run over today's trip and going. Eighteen days since his last run keeps him fit, but 132 lb from stall six asks plenty of a mid-pack type.

Hectic is winless in his last six, though he has a third three starts back and a third five starts back, and he returns quickly after ten days with experience of today's trip and going. Two sevenths in his last two outings and 130 lb from stall 3 hold him back, though our rating of 70 sits above his official 65.

Sugar Baby has been well beaten of late, a ninth last time out after a fifth three starts back, though he's back quickly after 14 days and has run over today's trip and going. Our rating of 68 sits just above his official 65, but a win six starts back is his only success in that spell.

Paul Midgley 1/15
Tiriac is fresh enough after 17 days off and has run over today's trip and on this going, while our rating of 73 ranks him fourth of 13 and sits well above his official 64 from stall two. The risk is a winless run in his last six, with a sixth last time out and nothing better than a fourth.

Jim Goldie 2/18
Pal Joey is winless in his last six, finishing eighth on each of his last two outings and ninth three starts back, and he returns after 81 days off, so he is hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 64 sits just above his official 61, but that only ranks him 11th of 13.

Bellagio Man is winless in his last five, finishing unplaced last time and a seventh two starts back, so he's hard to fancy and ranks 12th of 13 on our figures. He has run over today's trip and going, and comes back after 18 days off a mark of 58, but that's thin comfort.
