Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Buttermere Ridge is our selection at Galway, and his progressive profile is enough to prefer him over the top-rated Tai Tam Bay, who is only five pounds better on our figures. At 63 he sits just a pound behind La Tulipe Noire and a pound ahead of God Knows, so he is firmly in the thick of it without needing to improve a great deal, and an upward trend is a useful asset on heavy ground over seven furlongs. Tai Tam Bay is the obvious danger as the highest-rated runner, with La Tulipe Noire and God Knows also close enough to take advantage if our pick fails to progress again, though this looks a competitive contest. Buttermere Ridge is the selection.

Aengus King 0/5
Our second-ranked runner of 15 comes here after a fourth last time out and just seven days' rest, so she looks fit, and she has run over today's trip and on this going before. Yet to win in her last six starts, though, so a clear step up is the main worry.

Buttermere Ridge is our pick on profile: fourth last time out and a third two starts back, fresh enough after 15 days, and he has run over today's trip and going before. He is yet to win in his last six, but his figure of 63 sits well above his official 56.

Tariff arrives in cracking recent form, winning last time out, a second two starts back, and a winner three starts back, and he has run over today's trip, but he's back in just seven days. Carrying 140 lb from draw 2, he's off an official 58 while our rating of 53 ranks him 11th of 15.

God Knows steps up on a second last time out just seven days ago, and she has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 62 ranks her fourth of 15. The risk is a winless run in her last six starts, with nothing better than that runner-up effort.

Real Petite won last time out and has run over today's trip, though that victory sits against a patchy run of a fourth, a sixth and an eighth in the three starts before it. Back in just eight days from stall 18, she's rated 53 by us, ninth of 15, so a midfield look.

Winless in his last five, Racing Royalty has finished a seventh two starts back and a fifth three starts back, and was unplaced last time, 22 days ago. He has run over today's trip and going before, and our rating of 56 ranks him seventh of 15, but 132 lb from draw 8 looks a lot to carry.

Tijuana is hard to fancy, unplaced in four of his last five and a seventh three starts back, and he is yet to win in that spell after 36 days off. His only positives are that he has run over today's trip and runs off a lowly mark of 40, from draw 13.

Arizona Star is winless in her last six, and a seventh last time out, back in just eight days, hardly screams improvement, though a second two starts back shows she can run into a place. She has run over today's trip and going, but our rating of 48 leaves her an outsider from draw 10.

Fan Club has run over today's trip and going and is fresh enough after 12 days, but he is winless in his last five, with a fourth two starts back his best finish, and a yard going 1/20 offers little encouragement. Our rating of 58 sits above his official 56, though he carries 140 lb from stall 16.

Tai Tam Bay is back quickly after 12 days and has run over today's trip and going, with a second five starts back her best recent effort, while our rating of 68 ranks her top of 15. The risk is a form line of a seventh last time out and a ninth three starts back, and she is yet to win in her last six.
