Al Hussar is our selection at Newmarket, and the case rests on a progressive profile that makes him more appealing than his rating of 88 alone suggests. He sits level with Never Just A Dream and six pounds behind the top-rated Seven Questions on 94, so he has plenty to find on paper, but an improving sprinter over the minimum trip can outrun a static figure. Seven Questions is the clear danger given his rating, with Marching Mac on 90 and Never Just A Dream also in the mix. This is a competitive 13-runner Class 4 sprint on good to soft, and we side with the improver, Al Hussar.
