The KTB Fit ranking
-
1Mussab KTB Selection64/100
Mussab is a useful 2-year-old with strong recent form including two wins from his last three starts at this trip. He has the rail draw in stall 1 and connections at the track that suggest he will be suited by the step back up to five furlongs. The yard's modest record at Newmarket from a small sample is the main negative.
-
2This Moment63/100
This Moment is a useful performer who arrives in top form having won his last three starts, all over this trip. He has plenty of course experience and the ratings back up his solid recent efforts. The yard's modest record here is a slight negative but the colt has the ability to figure prominently.
-
3Fast Track60/100
Useful performer who has shown consistent form this year with a string of placed efforts. He has already won on this ground and at this trip, while his Newmarket draw looks reasonable. Balding has an 11% strike-rate here from a large sample and Murphy is a proven jockey at the track.
-
4Flann Sunna60/100
Useful performer who has won twice on this ground from just three starts. Newmarket has been kind so far with a win and a third from two runs here, though the latest effort suggests he may be vulnerable in stronger company. Trip looks about right having placed without winning over it.
-
5In The Black58/100
Useful performer who showed his best when winning on good to firm at this trip on his second start. The form dipped markedly when he finished last of five on his most recent outing and he now steps back into Listed company. Trainer has a 0% strike rate from six runs at Newmarket while the jockey also has a modest record here.
-
6Bint Archange50/100
Fair performer who has already shown she handles this track when finishing third here on her second start.
-
7Never Enough50/100
Never Enough has shown fair form in three starts, winning on good to firm at this track before finishing second and then ninth stepped up to 6f last time.
-
8Minster Man50/100
Minster Man has shown fair form in three starts and has already won twice at this trip.
-
9Perfect Strike48/100

-
10Armor Supreme48/100

-

Marco Polo has shown mixed form in four starts, winning once but finishing a disappointing sixth of nine over 6f here last time.
-
12Carry The Flag44/100

-
13Rogue Jewel40/100
Rogue Jewel has shown fair ability with two wins from three starts and looks to handle good to firm ground.
