Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Buttermere Ridge looks the pick of a tight 12-runner seven-furlong contest at Punchestown, where a progressive profile and a clock that backs the form give him the edge over Girl Bear, who is only a pound better on our figures. He sits level with God Knows on 58, so there is little between the leading trio, but his upward trend is what sets him apart. Girl Bear is the chief danger as the narrowly top-rated runner, with God Knows and Pocket Jacks also needing respect, though the latter is a few pounds adrift on 53. This is a competitive heat and confidence is low, but Buttermere Ridge is our selection.

Buttermere Ridge arrives in sound recent form, fourth last time out and third two starts back, and he's fresh enough after 17 days off, having run over today's trip before. Winless in his last six, he carries 140 lb from stall five, but our figures rate him second of twelve.

Jack Foley 0/5
Girl Bear is the top-ranked of the 12 on our figures at 59, and she's fresh from a fifth last time out just 10 days ago, with experience of today's trip. The risk is a winless run in her last six, with a third six starts back her best finish in that time.

P Sweeney 0/3
God Knows arrives fresh from a second last time out just nine days ago, and our rating has her third of twelve, so she's a leading threat who has run over today's trip. The risk is that she's yet to win in her last six starts, and 139 lb is a hefty burden.

Thomas Mullins 2/8
Fresh from a win last time out just ten days ago, Real Petite is in good heart and has run over today's trip, but a fourth two starts back and a string of sixth and eighth finishes before that show how inconsistent she has been. Our rating of 50 ranks her sixth of 12, with 137 lb from draw 9.

A Oliver 2/25
Won last time out and back within a day, Pocket Jacks arrives in peak fitness after a second three starts back and a third four back, and she has run over today's trip. The risk is 139 lb from draw 3, a hefty burden for a filly rated 50.

Unplaced in each of her last five starts and only 8 days since her last run, Amazing Force is hard to fancy, and she is rated 38 by us, last of the 12. She has run over today's trip and drops in at an official 44, but 128 lb from stall two is a lot to ask.

Saith Seren is winless in her last six, though a third three starts back and a run of fifth-place finishes show she's consistent enough, and she has run over today's trip. Back after 21 days, she's rated 51 by us against an official 43, but carrying 127 lb from stall 10 leaves her a lot to find.

Miss Americana is quick to return after ten days, with a fifth last time out and another fifth two starts back, and she has run over today's trip before. Yet to win in her last six, she runs off 41 and carries 125 lb from stall 11, with our rating of 43 offering only modest support.

Beaten in her last start when seventh, Arizona Star is winless in her last six, and ranking ninth of 12 on our figures makes her hard to fancy. She has run over today's trip and was second two starts back, while 10 days since her last run suggests she's fit, carrying 122 lb from draw 7.
