Blue Bolt looks the one to beat in this seven-runner Class 1 contest over a mile at Newmarket, with our figures putting her 8 lb clear of her nearest rival, a sizeable margin at this level. The good to firm ground is an unknown on these facts, but he has plenty in hand over the bulk of this field. Evolutionist is the main danger on the next-best figure, with Kon Tiki and City of Memphis a further 3 lb back and needing to improve to reach him. Blue Bolt is the confident selection.
