Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Tipsy Tiger is our selection at Newmarket, and his progressive profile is the reason we side with him over the top-rated Princess Rascal, who is only five pounds better on our figures. On 82 he sits level with Tiger and a couple of pounds clear of Mythical Guest and Arbaawy, so he is firmly in the thick of a competitive 12-runner Class 4 over ten furlongs. Princess Rascal is the chief danger given her 87 rating, with Tiger and Mythical Guest also firmly in the argument, and the soft ground may sharpen the test of stamina. Tipsy Tiger's upward trend gives him the edge, and he is the pick, albeit at low confidence.

Tiger showed solid form earlier in the run, with a win four starts back and a second three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going before after 25 days off, while our rating of 82 ranks him third of 12. The main risk is a trainer 0/24 in the last 14 days, with his last two runs a step backwards.

William Knight 0/13
Beach Point arrives in decent order, third last time out, a second two starts back, and a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. However, our figures rank him ninth of 12, and 136 lb from stall 1 is a hefty burden for an official mark of 76.

Third last time out and in the frame in four of his last five, Great Blasket looks consistent and fit after 15 days, having run over today's trip and going; but he has won only once in his last six, and 136 lb from draw 4 is a big ask.

Mythical Guest has been consistent, finishing a fourth last time out and a third two starts back, and he returns after just 17 days having run over today's trip and going before. Yet to win in his last six, that is the one worry, though our rating of 80 sits above his official 75.

Oliver Cole 1/9
Princess Rascal has run over today's trip and going and is back quickly after 15 days, with a fourth and a fifth in her last five outings and our top ranking of 12 backing her claims from draw 11. The main risk is a poor eighth last time and 135 lb, with her yet to win in recent starts.

Marco Ghiani
Peter Chapple-Hyam 1/6
Something Splendid was beaten into sixth last time out after a win two starts back, but he has finished seventh and ninth in the two runs before that, so consistency is a concern, and 41 days off doesn't help. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 74 ranks him tenth of 12.

Ganodin has twice won in his last six, a first three starts back and another five starts back, but he has since been unplaced last time and a ninth two starts back, and he returns after just 12 days. A trainer 0/24 in the last 14 days and our rating of 42 (12th of 12) make him hard to fancy, though he has run on today's going before.

Hugo Palmer 4/32
Phantom Watch was fourth last time out, after a second two starts back, and has run over today's trip, though he's won just once in his last six, five starts back. Our rating of 79 sits above his official 75, but ranking sixth of twelve under 131 lb from stall six keeps him a midfield proposition.

Arbaawy was second last time out and has been placed in three of his last six, though he is winless in that time and was only sixth two starts back. He has run over today's trip and going, and 21 days since his last run is fine, but 131 lb from draw 7 is a stiff ask.

Too Hot To Tango has been well held in her last two, a fifth last time out and a fourth before that, and returns after 70 days off carrying 128 lb from stall 10. A win three starts back and experience over today's trip and going count for something, but our figures rank her 11th of 12.
