Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Party In The Park looks the one to beat in this Newcastle staying contest, with our ratings putting him 6 lb clear of his nearest rival, which is a meaningful edge over 20 furlongs on good ground. Tom Creen is the main danger at 102, with Kinbara Firstdraft just a pound behind him and Ozzy Cosmo a little further back on 99, so this is no gimme in a field of nine. Even so, the top-rated runner has the class advantage to make it count, and Party In The Park is our selection.

Martin Todhunter 2/4
Powerofjet was brought down last time out, but he had finished third twice before that and won five starts back, so the form is solid. A 206-day absence and 167 lb are the hurdles, though he has run over today's trip and going before.

Tom Creen steps up from a fine second last time out and has run over today's trip and going, while our rating of 102 ranks him second of nine. The main risk is a patchy record, with a seventh, an unseated rider and a pulled up in his last five, plus 52 days off.

Joel Parkinson & Sue Smith 2/14
The Paddy Pie is winless in his last five and hard to fancy after 172 days off, though a third last time out, a fourth two starts back and prior experience over today's trip and going count for something. Carrying 165 lb off 94 is a stiff ask, and our figures rank him seventh of nine.

Fit after 29 days off, Party In The Park has run over today's trip and on this going, and he's yet to win in his last five, though never beyond a seventh. Our rating of 108 tops the nine-runner field, and he races off an official rating of 94 under 165 lb.

Stuart Coltherd 1/3
Treaty Boy won two starts back and has run over today's trip and going, but he fell last time out and is back just two days later, which raises fitness questions. Carrying 164 lb off an official mark of 93, he looks a mid-pack type, ranked sixth of nine by our rating.

Mark Walford 1/16
Empty Nest is yet to win in his last five starts, though he was second last time out, and a quick nine-day turnaround suggests he's in good heart. Carrying 161 lb is a big ask, and he has run over today's trip and going, but our figures rank him eighth of nine.

Derek Fox
Leonard Kerr 0/2
Kinbara Firstdraft showed he's capable with a second two starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 101 ranks him third of nine. The main risk is that he was pulled up last time out, and he carries 159 lb off 88.

Illogical Logic arrives fresh from a fourth last time out, having won two starts back and three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before, but carrying 157 lb off an official mark of 86 is a big ask. Our figures rank him last of nine, which is why he is hard to fancy.

Ozzy Cosmo's recent form is patchy, with a fourth three starts back his best finish, but our rating of 99 ranks him fourth of nine and he has run over today's trip off an official 85. The main risk is a 199-day absence after being pulled up last time out.
