Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Bold Light heads our ratings on 116 and gets the nod in this eight-runner Class 4 over two and a half miles at Newcastle, though only narrowly. Maghlaak is a single pound behind on 115 and Presentandcorrect a pound further back on 114, so the top three are tightly bunched and either could reverse the order. Bathgate, on 108, is the next one to consider but looks to have a bit more to find, while the rest are rated 106 or lower. Bold Light has the best figure in a competitive-looking contest and is our selection.

Fit after just 12 days off, Bold Light has run over today's trip and going before, and a third four starts back is his best finish in a consistent run of top-six efforts. Our rating of 116 puts him top of the eight, though he is yet to win in his last five and carries 170 lb.

Mark Walford 1/16
Maghlaak is winless in his last five and was unplaced last time, but he has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 115 ranks him second of eight, well clear of his official 107. The main risk is a 51-day absence under 165 lb.

Bathgate has run over today's trip and going, and returns after 18 days with his official mark of 105 sitting below our rating of 108, which ranks him fourth of eight, so he can't be dismissed. The main risk is a winless run, with three straight finishes of seventh and 163 lb to carry.

Lizzie Quinlan 0/7
Bogha Baiste has finished fourth in each of his last four starts, with a third five runs back, so he is consistent but yet to win in that spell. He has run over today's trip and going, and 26 days off is fine, but 162 lb is a hefty burden.

Presentandcorrect arrives in cracking form, runner-up last time out and again two starts back, with a third three starts back, and he has run over today's trip and on this going before. Our rating ranks him third of eight, but he is yet to win in recent starts and carrying 162 lb is the main risk.

Danny McMenamin

Thorneylands won last time out, but that came 183 days ago, and a sixth and a pulled up before it make him tough to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, yet 159 lb is a hefty burden, and our figures rank him seventh of eight.

Teofimo showed his best last time with a third, though he's yet to win in his last four starts and was sixth or worse in the three runs before that. He has run over today's trip and going, but 97 days off and 158 lb leave him a midfield proposition.

Callum Bewley
Martin Todhunter 2/5
Final Straw was unplaced last time out and a sixth two starts back, which explains why he is hard to fancy, though he won three and four starts back and has run over today's trip and going. Carrying 156 lb off 98 is a big ask, and our figures rank him last of eight.
