17:20 Newmarket — Race Preview & Tips

We're tipping Shipbourne in the 17:20 at Newmarket — a Flat race with 15 runners on Good going.

A look at the form — 13-1 — reveals winning form that is hard to ignore.

Ralph Beckett has been in fine form and teams up with Hector Crouch, 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 88 looks workable in this grade.

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