Maelstrom heads the field narrowly on these ratings, though the closeness of the pack behind — Tiva, Lara Antipova and Diomed Duke all within five pounds — means the race is genuinely open, and on a sharp five furlongs at Newmarket's July course any one of that trio could overturn the slim advantage on the day. The good-to-firm ground should suit speedier types throughout, and Maelstrom will need to be at his best to repel those dangers. Our selection is Maelstrom.
