Horse racing tips: Haydock 2.10
Where better to start than the first race of the day – a 1m 3½f fillies’ handicap. QUIETNESS has been in excellent form this season with two wins from two and looks like the pick of the bunch here.
Her 2023 campaign consisted of a second place and three thirds from four starts. But she put that behind her on her seasonal reappearance, keeping on to win by a neck at Windsor (1m 3½f, good to firm) and repeated the feat when winning by a short head at Salisbury (1m 2f, good to firm).
Although she carries top weight here, she looks a class above her rivals and is well placed to bring up a hat-trick of wins.
Selection: Quietness @ SP with BetMGM
Horse racing tips: Yarmouth 4.00
EPIDAVROS made her debut over a mile at Bath in April, when she shaped well only to be outpaced in the closing stages and finished fourth of 10. The next month she was tried over a mile and a half at Catterick and weakened significantly in the closing stages, this time coming in sixth of seven.
But it was almost third time lucky for her over a mile and a quarter at Windsor last month. The trip seemed to bring out the best in her and she pushed the leader all the way, finishing a length and a quarter back in second.
She should improve for that experience on her handicap debut and the booking of William Buick is also eye-catching. Take her to go one better today.
Selection: Epidavros @ SP with BetMGM
Horse racing tips: Newbury 9.00
Having started with the day’s first race, we finish with the 47th and last, in which Richard Hannon’s NEW KINGS ROAD is another who has improved this year after a challenging juvenile campaign.
Gelded over the winter, he returned in May over a mile on the all-weather at Kempton and travelled well to claim a promising third-placed finish.
He backed that up with an impressive win back on turf over the same trip at Salisbury in May, but was unable to defy a 6lb penalty last time out when third over a mile at Pontefract a week later.
He looks to be on a fair mark and if he can piece it all together again today there is no reason why he can’t return to the winner’s circle.
Selection: New Kings Road @ SP with BetMGM
