Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Sutton Hoo heads our ratings on 72, three pounds better than Titian, and that narrow edge is enough to make him the pick in a competitive 14-runner Class 6 over ten furlongs at Newcastle. Titian is the chief danger on 69, while Urban Road and Golspie, both on 68, are barely any further back and could easily reverse the placings. With so little between the top five, this is far from a gimme, but Sutton Hoo has the best figure on our sheet and gets the vote. Sutton Hoo is our selection.

Rory's Gold won two starts back and was third three starts before that, but he was unplaced last time out and has finished eighth twice in his last six. He has run over today's trip and going, and a 22-day break is no concern, though 140 lb from draw 6 leaves him plenty to prove.

Urban Road is fresh enough after 14 days and has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 68 ranks him third of 14, so he is a leading danger from draw 14. The risk is a winless recent spell, with a seventh last time out and a ninth two starts back, under 140 lb.

Ryan Sexton
Julie Camacho 1/24
Titian is rated 69 by us, second-best of 14, and has run over today's trip and going before, so he sits among the leading dangers despite being winless in his last six. The main risk is a poor run of finishes, with two sevenths latest and a yard out of form at 1/23.

Dylan Hogan
Patrick Morris 1/12
Golspie arrives in good heart after a second last time out, and he's a winner three starts back, with a fourth in between, while having run over today's trip and going and returning quickly after just eight days. Our rating ranks him fourth of 14, but 138 lb from stall four is the main risk.

Seb Spencer 1/4
Al Muddy is winless in his last five starts, with an unplaced effort last time out and a seventh two starts back, so he is hard to fancy. Ranked last of 14 on our figures and carrying 138 lb from stall five, his only real positives are a quick 10-day turnaround and previous experience of today's going.

Sutton Hoo has run over today's trip and going before, and his last win came five starts back, though he's been well beaten in his last two outings. Our top-rated runner at 72 against an official mark of 62, he looks the one to beat from draw 12 after 35 days off.

Mark Walford 1/18
Bay Dream Believer arrives in decent order, second last time out 18 days ago, with a third and another third in the book, though a ninth two starts back and just one win in her last six dilute the picture. She has run over today's trip and going, carries 134 lb from stall one, and our rating of 60 ranks her ninth of 14.

Freddy Robinson is yet to win in his last six starts but has finished second three times in that spell, and he has run over today's trip and going, though a sixth last time out and a quick seven-day turnaround raise questions. Carrying 133 lb from draw 9, he looks a mid-pack type on our rating of 61.

Gainsbourg is winless in his last four, unplaced each time, though he has run over today's trip and going before and returns after 22 days. Our rating of 67 ranks him fifth of 14, but carrying 132 lb from stall three against an official 56 leaves him plenty to prove.

Winless in his last six, Hill O Rue did at least better with a fourth last time out after a sixth and a fifth before that, but he's been well beaten more often than not. He has run over today's trip and going, yet 131 lb from draw 2 and a ranking of 11 of 14 on our figures make him hard to fancy.

Jack Garritty
Mark Walford 1/18
Wicklow Way was a fourth last time out, and a winner two starts back, but 83 days off is a concern. He has run over today's trip and going before, though 131 lb off a mark of 55 and a modest 54 rating from us point to a midfield role from stall seven.

Alembic is winless in his last four, finishing seventh, sixth and seventh before a fourth last time out, and with the yard 1/22 over the last 14 days he is hard to fancy. On the plus side, he has run on today's going and is back quickly after 11 days, but our rating has him 13th of 14.
