Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Midnight Rumble heads our ratings on 88 and looks the right choice in this modest Class 5 over 14 furlongs at Southwell, with a four-pound edge over Spirit of Jura, who is the chief danger on 84. Neswick, rated 75, and Chambers, on 71, are the other runners to consider, but both have a fair bit to find with our pick on these figures. This is far from a foregone conclusion given the small margin over Spirit of Jura, yet Midnight Rumble is the one to side with on the all-weather. Midnight Rumble is our selection.

Spirit of Jura has been consistent without a win, with a second five starts back and a third three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Our rating of 84 ranks her second of six, but a stable going cold (1 from 30) is the main risk.

Midnight Rumble is yet to win in his last six, but he was second six starts back and third three starts back, and he has run on today's going. Our 88 tops the six-runner field, though a 70-day layoff and a sixth last time out are the reservations.

Neswick arrives in good heart after winning last time out, with a third two starts back and another third three starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Fresh enough after 21 days, the main risk is carrying 134 lb.

Joey Ramsden 0/9
Sisterandbrother is hard to fancy as our sixth-ranked runner of six, having finished seventh in two of his last three before a second last time out, though he has won once, four starts back. He has run over today's trip and going, and 23 days since his last outing is fine, but 132 lb looks a lot.

Chambers arrives in cracking nick, a winner last time out and again three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before. The one concern is a quick turnaround after just two days, with 136 lb to carry.

Jude Maher (7)
Michael Appleby 5/23
New Bay Star is winless in his last six, with back-to-back seventh-placed efforts the latest word and a second six starts back the only glimpse of form. He has run on today's going and is quick back after five days, but carrying 126 lb he is hard to fancy, ranked fifth of six on our figures.
