16:05 Newmarket — Race Preview & Tips

We're tipping Shah in the 16:05 at Newmarket — a Flat race with 8 runners on Good going.

A look at the form — 2221/ — reveals winning form that is hard to ignore.

George Boughey has been in fine form and teams up with Billy Loughnane, a combination that demands respect.

These conditions — Good ground over — look tailor-made for the selection.

Key angle: Won last time out.

An official mark of 89 looks workable in this grade.

For each-way purposes, Elarak merits consideration as a place alternative.
