Top tips for Newmarket on Friday! Dave Nevison, Andy Stephens (RaceiQ), Katie Midwinter, Alex Scott and Nic Doggett share selections for day one of the Dubai Future Champions Festival, live on Racing TV.
The drop back to 1000m (5f) will suit the Ballydoyle speedball Carry The Flag, but Ryan Moore prefers Marco Polo despite him beating only one home in the Middle Park here last month. However, on a formline through the winner Orthodox, he has a little to find with MUSSAB who is progressing well since being dropped back to this distance. He won the Rosebery Stakes at Ayr last time, a race that has provided two of the last six winners of this, and the Fahey colt is selected ahead of Flann Sunna, Fast Track and In The Black who were third, fourth and fifth, respectively, in the Champagne Stakes when last seen.

✅ Fair, transparent, pool‑based betting
World Pool is in operation for the full eight-race card at Newmarket on Friday.
It would be no surprise to see Musical Times produce another impressive performance and cement her claims for next year's 1000 Guineas over the same course and distance, but Dancing Destiny has several top efforts in defeat to her name, having chased home the likes of Sun Goddess and Green Empress, and this step back up to a mile looks sure to suit.
She is capable of causing a huge upset for Joseph O'Brien and can be backed each-way at 33-1. Charlie Appleby's unbeaten filly and the progressive Rogue Passion can chase her home.
Archers Bay has a progressive profile and has already run three fine races on the Rowley Mile this year.
He has had the best Finishing Speed Percentage on each occasion, including last time when chasing home the unbeaten Fortitudine in Listed company. He was 0.26sec quicker than his conqueror over the last three furlongs, who dictated steady fractions.
The three-year-old is 5lb well-in and trainer Marco Botti’s Actual versus Expected on this track in the past 12 months is 1.52.

Bidding for a five-timer, in-form Silver Lake could extend her unbeaten run for William Haggas and James Doyle in this competitive mile-and-a-quarter contest.
She's dropping back down in distance following a convincing mile-and-a-half handicap success at Doncaster last month, but has winning form over this distance and has proven her stamina over further which should help her cause in the closing stages.
The likeable filly has shown great progression in recent months, rising from an opening mark of 75 to her current rating of 99, with the scope for even further improvement.
By Night Of Thunder, the three-year-old grey has shown great potential and the ceiling of her ability is still unknown. She could make a successful step into Stakes company and should be capable of achieving black-type.
Bintola has been generally progressive on fast ground this year with her only disappointment coming when racing on softer ground on her penultimate start.
Harry Charlton’s filly bounced back when upped to this trip at this course last time out and ran really well to be third beaten just over a length. I feel the handicapper has been generous in dropping her a pound for that good effort and with the yard in top form at present Bintola is poised to land another handicap with the Newmarket ground remaining on the fast side.
