Tip for this race
All today's tips ›High Calibre heads our ratings on 88, narrowly ahead of Dancing Dunes on 85 and Under Arrest on 84, and that edge of a few pounds is enough to make him the pick in a modest Class 5 over nine furlongs at Newmarket. The good to soft ground adds some uncertainty, but nothing in the facts suggests it should trouble him. Dancing Dunes and Under Arrest sit only a few pounds behind and are the chief dangers, with Princess Lottie on 81 also in the mix, so this is no formality. Our selection is High Calibre.

Princess Lottie has finished in the first five in each of her last four starts, including a second two starts back and a fourth last time out, and she has run over today's trip before. Our rating of 81 sits above her official 75, but she is yet to win and 135 lb is a hefty burden.

Callum Shepherd
Michael Bell 0/18
Biscaysian is yet to win in his last three, finishing a sixth last time out, a fourth two starts back and a fifth before that, and he returns after 49 days off. He has run over today's trip and sits seventh of ten on our rating, so 134 lb from stall seven looks a stiff ask.

Harry Davies
William Haggas 9/57
Under Arrest arrives fit after 12 days, having finished third last time out, and a second two starts back, with experience of today's trip and going, while our rating of 84 ranks him third of ten. The risk is that he is yet to win in his last five starts, and 133 lb is a hefty burden.

Sean Levey
Richard Hannon 2/27
High Calibre arrives fresh from a creditable third last time out just 12 days ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 88 tops the field, and though yet to win in his last six starts, he looks the one to beat.

Cracking Idea is winless in his last three, beaten into eighth last time out after a third two starts back, and he returns after 44 days off. He has run over today's trip and gets 131 lb from draw 9, but eighth of ten on our figures makes him hard to fancy.

Hector Crouch
Ralph Beckett 5/39
Dancing Dunes arrives consistent, with a fourth last time out, a fifth two starts back and another fifth three runs ago, and our rating of 85 ranks him second of ten, well clear of his official 71. The risk is that he's yet to win and carries 131 lb from stall one after 35 days off.

Rob Hornby

Highland Frost is winless in his last three, though a third last time out, 12 days ago, follows a pair of sevenths, and he has run over today's trip and going. Ranked ninth of ten on our figures and carrying 129 lb, he is hard to fancy.

Clifford Lee
Mark Usher 1/7
Won last time out after a fifth, a ninth and an eighth in the three runs before, so he arrives in form but with a patchy record behind it. He has run over today's trip and returns after 23 days, though our rating of 75 ranks him only sixth of ten.

J. S. Moore 0/14
Magical Life bounced back with a second last time out just 12 days ago, and she has run over today's trip and going, but she is yet to win in her last six starts and a pair of sixths and a seventh before that show her limits. Our rating of 76 ranks her fifth of ten, off 117 lb from stall four.

Duran Fentiman
Tim Easterby 5/64
Wells Fargos Envoy is winless in her last three, finishing eighth, sixth, then fourth last time out, and our figures have her last of ten. The upward trend and a fresh 15-day gap are modest positives, but she is hard to fancy from stall two.
