Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Woodhay Whisper looks the call in a tightly knit Newcastle sprint, where five runners share our top rating of 57 and she gets the nod on her progressive profile and a fitness edge over her rivals. There is next to nothing between them on figures, so those two qualities should be enough to make the difference over five furlongs on the all-weather. Great Success, Pockley and Masai Angel are the chief dangers, all on the same figure and capable of turning this into a bunched finish. Woodhay Whisper is the selection, though only a narrow one.

Linda Perratt 0/6
Pockley is a leading threat on a short break of 14 days, with experience over today's trip and going, and our rating ranks him second of 11 at 57. The main risk is a winless run, with unplaced efforts in his last two starts and a best recent finish of fifth.

Zuffolo was third last time out, and a winner four starts back, with three thirds in his last six showing he's consistent, and he's run over today's trip and going. Against that, an eighth two starts back and a yard 0/29 in the last 14 days temper enthusiasm, while 134 lb from stall 1 asks plenty.

Masai Angel has run over today's trip and going, and a third five starts back shows he can bridge the gap, while 27 days since his last run is a sensible break. Winless in his last six though, with a fifth latest, so he needs to rediscover his best.

William Pyle
Jessica Bedi 0/5
Fresh after 15 days, she has run over today's trip and on this going, and was fourth last time out, though she's tailed off since a win four starts back, with a fifth and an eighth in between. Carrying 134 lb from draw 10, she looks a midfield type, ranked eighth of eleven by our rating.

Crypto Quest bounced back to a second last time out just ten days ago, and he has run over today's trip and going, but he's winless in his last five and a seventh two starts back shows the inconsistency. Our rating of 57 puts him fifth of 11, with 133 lb from stall four.

Woodhay Whisper has been well beaten in recent starts, but she is fit after 21 days off, has run over today's trip and going, and her 57 on our figures ranks third of 11, so she's our pick on profile from a lowly official 52 and draw nine.

Last time out he finished second, but that sits among a run of ninth, seventh, ninth, fourth and fifth, and he is winless in his last six with a yard 0/29 over the past fortnight. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating ranks him ninth of eleven.

Falcon Queen is winless in her last six, though a fifth last time out, 29 days ago, is her best finish in three runs, and she has run over today's trip and going before. Carrying 130 lb from draw 8 off an official mark of 50, she looks a midfield type, with our rating of 56 backing that view.

Our top-rated runner at 57 has run over today's trip and on this going, and he's tidy off a lowly mark of 50 from stall two, yet he's winless in his last six and unplaced in his last two after 46 days off.

Tommie's Angel is hard to fancy, beaten into ninth last time and yet to win in her last six, though a third two starts back shows she can pick up a cheque. She has run over today's trip and going, and a quick 10-day turnaround keeps her fit, but our rating of 50 ranks her tenth of eleven.

Shatin Venture was second last time out, but he is yet to win in his last six starts and had finished ninth twice before that, so he is hard to fancy at the foot of our figures. He has run over this trip and on this going, and 21 days since his last run is no concern, with our rating of 44 ranking him 11th of 11.
