Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Ten Carat Harry heads this large Class 2 sprint at Newmarket (July) on a rating of 107 and is our selection for the 6f contest. Calico Blue is the closest on figures at 103 and looks the biggest threat, while May Angel and Ghost Mode both have claims on 99 and 98 respectively in a race that's stacked in depth. With thirteen runners going to post there's obvious scope for an upset, but on the balance of figures Ten Carat Harry's the one to side with.

Racecard
Saffie Osborne
Jamie Osborne 0/15
Admirably consistent with three places and a win in his last six starts, this gelding already has today's distance and going covered from stall 8. He tops the field on figures and rates the most reliable sort in this line-up, adding to his solitary win now the target.

Oisin Murphy
John & Thady Gosden 6/48
Yet to win in his last five starts, this gelding has been competitive throughout with a pair of thirds among them, and he gets a first-time tongue-tie today with distance and going already proven to suit from stall 1. The concern is turning those places into a leading finish.

Two wins in his last five starts underline this gelding's ability, though he was unplaced when last seen from stall 2. Distance and going are both proven to suit, but he faces a step up in company to figure prominently here.

This colt showed useful ability with a win and a second earlier in his last five starts, and he already has today's distance and going proven to suit from stall 5; the concern is that his last two runs have both been well beaten by comparison.

Two wins in his last five starts mark this colt as a big threat on figures, with today's distance and going already proven to suit from stall 9; a 4th last time out is the only blot on an otherwise progressive sequence.

David Allan

Rock-solid form figures, with two wins and three seconds in his last five starts, make this gelding tough to dismiss, and he already has today's distance and going proven to suit from stall 11; the question is whether he holds enough natural pace to progress further in a stronger field.

Tom Marquand
William Haggas 12/56
An outsider on today's figures, this colt nonetheless arrives with two wins and a second in his last four starts and already has today's distance proven to suit from stall 7; his solid recent form is hard to square with such a lowly figure here, so he's open to youthful improvement.

Just one win in his last five starts and well beaten when last seen, this gelding needs to bounce back, though he has today's distance and going proven to suit from stall 4 and showed useful form earlier in that sequence.

Two wins earlier in his last five starts show this gelding has ability, but his more recent efforts have been mixed, and a 45-day break raises a slight fitness question even though today's distance and going are both proven to suit from stall 13.

Two wins mixed into his last five starts point to solid ability, though this colt was only 5th when last seen from stall 3. He already has today's distance and going proven to suit, so a return to form remains well within reach.

Jack Callan (3)
Tom Clover 2/13
Bottom of the field on today's figures despite two wins and two seconds in his last four starts, this gelding's modest speed figure suggests he'll find this a stiffer test; the point in his favour is that distance and going are both proven to suit from stall 10.

Alex Jary (3)

Only one win in his last five starts, with modest form since, leaves this colt hard to fancy, and the trainer's cold spell of just one winner from 39 runners adds to the caution. Distance and going are at least both proven to suit from stall 6.
