Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Twisting Physics No. 1, stall 12
Kieran Shoemark · Oliver Cole
✓ Top rated ✓ Distance winner ✓ Back from a 101-day break
Twisting Physics gets the nod at Newcastle, rated 95 on our figures and narrowly ahead of a tightly packed group at the head of the 14-runner field. The margin is slim, so this is no gift, but he has the best figure on the sheet and that is enough to side with him over ten furlongs on the all-weather. Bragbor is only a pound behind and the obvious danger, while Sovereign View and Per Contra are both within four pounds and can't be dismissed in a competitive Class 3. Twisting Physics is our selection, albeit on a low-confidence basis.

Racecard
Kieran Shoemark
Oliver Cole 0/6
Twisting Physics won two starts back and was second three starts back, so he arrives with a solid recent profile despite a fifth last time out. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 95 puts him top of the 14, though 101 days off is a mild reservation.

Rowan Scott
David O'Meara 1/16
Caromb is winless in his last six, with a seventh last time out and a ninth before that, though a fourth three starts back shows he can be competitive, and 25 days off should have him fresh. Carrying 137 lb from draw 3, he sits ninth of 14 on our rating of 86, which makes him a midfield type.

Callum Hutchinson
Andrew Balding 9/33
Black Chiffon was second last time out, with a fourth two starts back and a win three starts back, and she has run on today's going before. The 71-day break and a handy 135 lb from draw 14 temper things, though, and our rating of 85 ranks her only tenth of 14.

Stoneacre Donny won two starts back and was a fifth last time out, but a 57-day break and a ninth three starts back show his inconsistency. He has run over today's trip, carries 135 lb from stall four, and our rating of 88 ranks him seventh of 14.

Robert Havlin
John & Thady Gosden 3/20
Third last time out is a fair effort, and she has run over today's trip, but a seventh two starts back and a win three starts back leave the form patchy. Carrying 134 lb from stall 11 off an official 87, she looks short of the pace on our figures, ranked 12 of 14 on a rating of 81.

Mark Winn
David O'Meara 1/16
Rajapour was second last time out just 11 days ago, and a second four starts back shows he can go close, but a ninth two starts back and only one win in his last six outings point to inconsistency. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 89 ranks him sixth of 14.

Edward Greatrex

Nizam is winless in his last six and unplaced in each of his last five, which holds him back, though he has run over today's trip and returns after 28 days off. Our rating of 88 sits above his official 83, but he carries 133 lb from stall seven.

Oisin Orr
Richard & Peter Fahey 3/34
Bragbor has experience of today's trip and the ground, and our rating of 94 puts him second of 14, a clear sign he has more in hand than an official mark of 83 suggests from stall 2. The risk is obvious, though: he's winless in his last five, with three sevenths in that spell and 118 days off.

Jason Hart
Ed Dunlop 1/15
Bearish won four and six starts back, but he's been fourth last time out and ninth two starts back since, and the form has cooled. He's fit enough after 18 days and has run over today's trip and going, though 132 lb is a burden, with our rating of 89 placing him fifth of 14.

Sovereign View arrives a last-time-out winner, with a third and a fourth in the two runs before that, and he has run over today's trip and on this going. The risk is a 70-day absence, with 132 lb to carry from draw 1.

David Allan

Per Contra arrives in solid nick after a second last time out, only 18 days ago, and has run over today's trip and on this going before, with a winner four starts back in the book. Our rating of 91 sits well above his official 82, but the eighth two starts back shows his form can dip.

Unplaced last time out after a win two starts back, and a fourth three starts back, Moonlight Warrior is hard to fancy as our 14th-ranked runner, with a 75 rating sitting below his official 78. He has run on today's going and his yard is in form, but that's about it.

High Point is winless in his last six, finishing ninth last time out and eighth two starts back, so he is hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, and our rating of 83 is a little more encouraging, though it only ranks him 11th of 14.

Humble Spark is winless in his last six, finishing no better than fourth last time out, and his yard is 0/21 over the past fortnight, so he is hard to fancy. He has run over today's trip and going, and a fourth last time out is his best recent effort, but that is thin comfort.
