Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Duran is our selection and looks the one to beat in this 14-runner Class 5 sprint at Newcastle, with our rating of 84 putting him six pounds clear of his nearest rival, which is a meaningful edge at this level. That advantage over Jenever (78) gives him a solid platform on the all-weather over the five-furlong trip, where a strong pace-and-power profile usually counts. Jenever and Secret Guest (77) are the chief dangers, with Frantic (74) next best, but all three have it to do to reverse the rating gap. Duran is the call.

Nigel Tinkler 0/11
Duran is the one to beat on our numbers, with a fifth last time out and a fourth two starts back an improvement on his earlier efforts, and he's fresh from a nine-day turnaround. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 84 tops the field, though he's yet to win in recent starts.

Lewis Edmunds
Jessica Macey 1/12
Jenever arrives in good heart after a third last time out just 18 days ago, and he has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 78 ranks him second of 14. The one concern is that he is winless in his last six starts, with a ninth three starts back showing his form can dip.

Bryan Smart 0/6
Secret Guest, a fourth last time out just 25 days ago, has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 77 ranks him third of 14 against an official mark of 68, so he looks a leading threat from draw 14. The risk is that he's yet to win in his last six starts.

Ryan Sexton
Paul Midgley 0/8
Herakles was unplaced last time out and has only a win three starts back to show from his last six, so he is hard to fancy, though he has run over today's trip and going and is fresh enough after 17 days. Our figures rank him 11th of 14, and he carries 132 lb from stall 12.

Tom Kiely-Marshall (3)
Julie Camacho 1/21
Holbache has run over today's trip and going and won five starts back, but he has finished seventh, ninth and eighth in his last three outings, and a yard going 1/20 offers little encouragement. Off 132 lb from stall six, our rating of 67 ranks him tenth of 14.

Jason Hart
John & Sean Quinn 1/9
North West Gal arrives fit after 21 days off, with back-to-back fifths and a win five starts back, and she has run over today's trip and going. However, she has finished outside the first four since that success, and 132 lb from draw 13 is a hefty burden for a 67-rated runner.

Go Victor arrives in cracking heart, having won last time out and two starts back, with three wins in his last six, and he has run over today's trip and going. Our figures rank him 13th of 14 though, and 131 lb off an official 66 looks a stiff ask after 32 days off.

Lion's House is yet to win in his last six starts, though a second three starts back shows he can go close, and he has run over today's trip and going before. Unplaced last time and 50 days off, he carries 131 lb from stall 1, with our rating of 71 offering some support.

Frantic arrives with two seconds and a third in her last six, a trainer in cracking form (6 from 23 lately) and a useful 25-day break, while our rating of 74 sits well clear of her official 65. The one concern is she's winless in that run and unplaced last time out.

King's Crown is yet to win in his last six starts and has been unplaced in two of his last three, though a fifth three starts back shows he can nearly get involved. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 72 sits well above his official 63, but 128 lb from draw 7 is a stiff ask.

Winless in his last six, Speeding Bullet has twice finished second but was only fifth last time out, 17 days ago, and ranks 12 of 14 on our figures, so he is hard to fancy. On the plus side, he has run over today's trip and going before, and he races off 127 lb from stall four.
