Horse racing tips: Nottingham 3.45
This Class 3 handicap over a mile is the feature race on the card and YORKSHIRE can be expected to return to the winner’s enclosure after a near-miss in this grade last time.
This gelded son of Harry Angel did remarkably well to make a winning seasonal debut in May at Thirsk (7f, good to firm). Denied a clear run, he eventually forced a dead heat. That form received a boost when fourth-placed New Image won easily next time, while Yorkshire maintained his progress when he was edged out next time at Doncaster (7f, good), closing all the way to the line.
While evidently not short of pace, having twice won over 6f as a juvenile, both runs this year have suggested he will have no problem stepping up in trip to a mile. Out of a Dalikanhi mare and a half-brother to a 10-furlong winner in France, he could improve for a further test of stamina.
Running from just 3lb higher than when winning at Thirsk he remains a handicapper to keep onside. Ed Bethell’s horses are in excellent form, with four winners from 14 runners over the last fortnight and a further five runners filling the places.
Selection: Yorkshire @ SP with BetMGM
Horse racing tips: Newbury 2.50
BORN A REBEL looks unlucky not to be two from two in handicaps in his short career so far. He made a comfortable winning seasonal/handicap debut ove a mile at Yarmouth in April, leaving his juvenile form well behind in the process.
Connections seemingly knew they had a well-handicapped horse on their hands, running out a well backed 6/1 winner. Well supported again in the market, he was narrowly denied when attempting to follow up in this grade at Leicester last time.
That was an eye-catching performance because he had to wait for a run as the race unfolded and did very well to go down by only half a length to a rival who was able to dictate out in front.
He has to take a 2lb rise on the chin for that near-miss but remaining in Class 5 company he should go close to doubling his tally and he is reunited with Benoit De La Sayette, who guided him to victory at Yarmouth.
Selection: Born A Rebel @ SP with BetMGM
Horse racing tips: Nottingham 2.40
The market for this maiden over a mile is likely to be dominated by Roger Varian’s Indemnity, who sets a solid standard for a race of this nature with an official rating of 85.
While he has a good level of form in the book, he hasn't managed to get his head in front in five starts and may be suited by going back up in trip. And as a four-year-old he will also be giving weight away to our selection AJDAYET.
Archie Watson’s runner made a respectable debut in a very warm-looking novice stakes at Doncaster, finishing sixth as the only newcomer in the field. There were a number of exciting prospects ahead of him that day and this contest looks weaker, so he is entitled to progress from that initial experience.
Selection: Ajdayet @ SP with BetMGM
