Horse racing tips: Windsor 6.45
The highlight of today’s card is this Class 3 handicap over 6f, which has attracted a field of 10.
The lightly raced Jimmy Speaking is seeking a hat-trick, with Hollie Doyle taking over in the plate for the first time. He rises in grade and by 4lb in the weights, while another who won last time out, Blue Day, must contend with a 7lb hike for his victory at Southwell in April.
That could pave the way for CAJETAN to gain a first turf win in six starts for Jack Channon. He went close in a novice contest at Salisbury last term and has claimed all-weather wins over 6f at Newcastle and Kempton this season, either side of a decent showing in a Class 2 handicap at Newmarket.
The last race was a hot one and, while today’s rival Trefor was ahead of him in second, his subsequent success at Kempton points to Cajetan turning things around here under David Probert.
Selection: Cajetan @ 6/1 with BetMGM
Horse racing tips: Ayr 3.45
A mile is the trip for this Class 4 handicap and Vocal Studies should prove popular after he began life with his new connections by scoring last month at Thirsk (1m, good to soft).
He remains on a fair mark but might do well to prevent BOY DOUGLAS getting his head in front for Michael Dods and Conor Beasley.
The New Bay gelding was a course-and-distance winner on heavy going in October 2022 but only made the track twice last season. He returned from 380 days off to finish second by a length in a 16-runner handicap at Thirsk last month, showing himself effective on much faster ground.
He has only been inched up the minimum for that effort and a return to the scene of his previous success looks ideal for this lightly raced four-year-old, more so given the yard is in flying form with a recent 24 per cent strike-rate (10-42).
Selection: Boy Douglas @ 7/2 with BetMGM
Horse racing tips: Listowel 4.20
Willie Mullins runs big guns Easy Game and SAINT SAM in this 2m 3f chase and while champion jockey Paul Townend is on the former, it could pay to side with Danny Mullins on the younger horse, currently rated 5lb superior to his stablemate.
Easy Game is an impressive 4-4 over fences at this course, two of them wins in this race, but Saint Sam could dominate matters in front here.
Winner of five of his 11 chase starts, he was seemingly going to account for today’s rival Visionarian over 2m 4f here in September only to come down at the last.
He won the Grade 2 Red Mills Chase at Gowran Park in February and comes here having run respectably in a Grade 1 at Punchestown last time. He isn’t a top-level performer, but neither are these rivals and, if he gets around in one piece, he can land the spoils.
Selection: Saint Sam @ 3/1 with BetMGM
